Diamond Brilliant Cut

What does it mean when a stone is recrystallised?

Recrystallised stone is a stone that is not born that way in nature, but pieces of other natural stones are fused together to create it.

The difference is that in recrystallised stones, pieces of natural stones are fused together to create the stone that is then mounted on the Jewellery. It is therefore a stone that is not born that way in nature, but pieces of other natural stones are fused together to create it. The synthetic, on the other hand, is born in a laboratory and is in no way a derivative of a natural stone, but is recreated ad hoc.

What purity do Comete Diamonds have?

Our JEWELLERY uses mainly SI Purity and G Colour diamonds. Diamonds often have some tiny imperfections inside them, called inclusions. The clarity scale ranges from F (Flawless = free of imperfections) to I (Included = inclusions). Therefore, SI Clarity for a diamond determines how many tiny imperfections the diamond has, based on the clarity scale. In this specific case, SI is the abbreviation for Small Inclusions and applies to diamonds whose inclusions are small, but visible with a 10x magnifying glass.

What is the Diamond?

Diamonds originate in the Earth's mantle, where the very high pressure conditions necessary for their formation exist. The crystals are brought to the surface, encased in a rock containing a lot of olivine called kimberlite, by volcanic conduits through eruption. This gives rise to the diamond chimneys of the primary deposits. Later, through erosion, the kimberlite can be crushed, releasing the diamonds into secondary deposits, usually alluvial.
