Understanding a diamond starts with the 5Cs:
Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat, and Certification. Together, these factors determine the beauty, rarity, and value of a diamond.

Pearls are timeless classics and are prized for their luminous glow. Whether you’re drawn to large South Seas, dramatic Tahitians, bright akoyas or colorful freshwater pearls, here are key factors to consider when evaluating a pearl:

Size: South Sea pearls are typically the largest, reaching 15mm or more. Akoyas over 9mm are considered large.
Shape: While round pearls are the most valuable, off-round strands can look round from a distance and baroque strands can make for affordable statement pieces.
Color: Overtone, orient and popular bodycolors such as deep gold can increase the beauty and value of pearls.
Luster: This is one of the most important value factors for pearls. South Seas are known for their soft, satiny glow, while akoyas are known for their bright, mirror-like shine.
Surface: This refers to whether the pearl has any surface blemishes such as dimples and scratches. High surface quality pearls should be smooth and clean.
Nacre: Consider the continuity, thickness, and condition of a pearl’s nacre when evaluating pearl quality. Avoid pearls that appear dull or chalky, or where the nucleus is visible beneath the nacre.
Matching: In a well-matched strand, pearls should be consistent in key quality factors—especially luster, shape and surface. Designers may occasionally mix colors or use graduated sizes for artistic or unique effects.

GIA’s clarity scale has 11 potential grades for clarity. Clarity refers to a diamond's appearance when examined under 10X magnification, specifically assessing the presence, size, number and location of internal inclusions and external blemishes.

If you’re looking for a round brilliant diamond without any visible inclusions, diamonds from Flawless (F) down to VVS₂ don’t have any inclusions visible to the unaided eye. However, it is possible for minor surface blemishes to appear on Internally Flawless grades.

If you’re looking for a diamond without visible inclusions that is also relatively affordable, consider diamonds in the VS₁, VS₂ and SI₁ grades. All diamonds in the VS₁ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye. Most diamonds in the VS₂ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye, and some diamonds in the SI₁ grade have inclusions that would be difficult to see with the naked eye. The latter two categories can provide incredible value.

Because diamonds in the VS₂ and SI₁ grades cost less, finding a diamond with no inclusions visible to the naked eye can be an incredible value.

Be careful about going down to the I category to save money, however, as their inclusions are obvious and some of these diamonds can appear dull or may be more fragile.

Natural pearls are rare, valuable—often historic—treasures that require gentle care to maintain their glow over time. Save these tips to keep your pearls looking their best.

- Clean gently: Wipe after each wear with a soft, dry-to-damp cloth to remove oils and perspiration. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as they are too harsh for pearls.
- Avoid prolonged water exposure: Do not soak pearls; extended contact with water can damage nacre and weaken the silk used for the strand.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep pearls away from makeup, perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, vinegar and other substances that can erode their surface.
- Store properly: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box. Avoid airtight safes and heat, which can dry out pearls and dull their luster.

With proper care, natural pearls are beautiful heirlooms that can last for generations.

Emeralds are beautiful but require special care due to their natural inclusions and common clarity treatments. Here are a few tips to keep your emerald jewelry shining:

- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, which can damage emeralds and remove oils or fillers used to enhance clarity. Instead, clean with warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
- Protect from heat. Sudden temperature changes can damage the stone or its treatments.
- Protect from harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, ammonia and alcohol, which can damage fillers.
- Store carefully. Keep emerald jewelry separate from other gemstones like diamonds to prevent scratches.
