Scott Kay Diamond Ring in 950 Platinum

Diamonds dazzle due to the way they handle light. Beautifully cut diamonds like this show three special optical effects: brilliance, fire and scintillation. Brilliance describes the bright reflections of white light that make diamonds look like they are lit from within. Fire describes the rainbow flashes of diamond dispersion: light bent into rainbows like a prism. Scintillation is the spots of light that flash as the diamond moves and the pattern and contrast of bright and dark areas in a diamond: the sparkle of the diamond. Reflection, refraction, brilliance, fire, sparkle. Wearing diamonds, you are ready for the spotlight. April’s birthstone, diamond is the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversary.

Platinum is the most precious metal: pure, rare and enduring. Platinum jewelry is always more expensive than jewelry made with other metals. As a result, platinum has more prestige too. It’s a beautiful naturally white metal with extraordinary jewelry-making attributes. It holds important gemstones securely. You can feel the difference when you pick up a piece of platinum jewelry: platinum is noticeably heavier than gold. Platinum is more than 90% pure so it’s hypoallergenic too, perfect for sensitive skin.
