What does carat mean?
Carat is the unit of weight for a diamond. Diamonds can range in weight from a fraction of a carat to several carats. One carat equals 0.2 metric grams. A carat can be further divided into points. 1 carat equals 100 points. Therefore, a half carat equals 50 points and a 25 pointer is a quarter carat. When considering diamonds of equal quality, the larger stone will have more value.
What does it mean when a pearl is ‘cultured’ and ‘freshwater’?
Cultured pearls are humanity’s work at duplicating what nature first started. A ‘seed’ or ‘nucleus’ (typically a round bead made of mother of pearl) is inserted into the oyster and the oyster is returned to the sea. The oyster will coat this ‘seed’ with nacre to create a cultured pearl. Freshwater pearls are also cultured. Multiple tissue seeds are inserted into a freshwater mussel. The mussel coats these seeds with nacre to produce cultured freshwater pearls.
What does created mean?
Created gemstones are man-made. They are grown in strictly controlled laboratory conditions to recreate the brilliance of rare natural gemstones.
