Many people confuse the carving with the diamond' shape.
The carving is one of the four characteristics that determine their value and quality. Its shape depends on the client's taste and does not affect the value of the diamond.

THE COLOR OF OUR DIAMONDS-
Clemencia Peris choose diamonds within range D-H, considered by the GIA as River Quality, Top Weleson and Weleson, these guarantee a great color to naked eye.
WHAT IS THE RANGE OF COLOR? +
The best color for a diamond is colorless.
The lack of color allows light to pass through the diamond neatly and become a perfect rainbow of colors.

OTHER PURITIES+
Our company does not work with purities SI-SI2, P1-P2-P3. Some jeweleries work with lower quality offering very low prices. We do not recommend buying these stones because the quality is too low, may even break due their inner imperfections."
WHAT IS CLARITY? +
In the process of crystallization of diamonds, nature leave tiny footprints in most of them. Such natural features are called inclusions.
A diamond with no inclusions is considered of the highest quality because nothing stops light to cross through it cleanly. If we look a diamond under a magnifying glass that increases ten times it and the diamond has no inclusion we will call it Internally flawless (IF).
Carat:
the weight of love
OUR DIAMONDS' CARATS -
'Carat' refers to the weight of the diamond, contrary to popular beliefs.
To determine diamond's value or its price, its size it is the major or the basic factor to consider. However, two equal sized diamonds may have to completely different values. Everything will depend on their quality.
There are exceptional diamonds and high-quality diamonds of various sizes.

Certificates
Security and transparency
DIAMONDS' CERTIFICATION -
All Clemencia Peris' diamonds are delivered with an international or our own certificate. It provides you maximum safety and transparency.
WHAT IS A CERTIFICATE? +
A certificate is an official evaluation of the different qualities of a diamond. Each diamond has its own 'DNA' which includes: the dimensions of the diamond, its clarity, its symmetry and other characteristics.
A diamond certificate is absolutely necessary to value the authenticity of it. Gifting a diamond is the greatest love proof. Don't be naive and ask always for the certificate.
Our company works with three types of certificates according to the diamonds' carats.
From 0.3 kt we work with international certificates GIA / HRD.
For less than 0.3 kt size stones, Clemència Peris issues its own certificate.
