Cut by Ben Diamond Ring in 14K

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 anniversaries.

With a warm sunny glow, 14K gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust, or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper, and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
