At Kismet by Milka, every diamond is selected with utmost care, ensuring only the finest stones bring our designs to life. Guided by the 4Cs color, cut, clarity, and carat, we source diamonds that meet the highest standards of excellence. Our diamonds are graded VS1 for exceptional clarity and are G+ in hue, showcasing a bright, pure radiance. Each diamond cut is classified as excellent, maximizing its brilliance and fire to create that unmistakable sparkle. With carat weights ranging from 0.02 to 2 carats, we offer a variety of sizes to suit every design, from dainty details to bold statement pieces. To us, diamonds aren’t just stones they’re the soul of our creations, handpicked for perfection.
Diamonds are found in a spectrum of colors, ranging from pure white D to hues of yellow. The less color a diamond has, the more valuable and desirable it becomes. Starting at D, the color grading scale progresses through E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and beyond, with increasing warmth and yellow tones. At Kismet by Milka, we select diamonds with exceptional color to ensure every design shines with brilliance.
Every diamond is a natural miracle, and during its formation, it may develop unique internal characteristics known as inclusions. These inclusions, often referred to as “birthmarks,” can affect how light travels through the diamond, subtly influencing its sparkle. Diamonds with fewer inclusions allow for greater light reflection, resulting in a more radiant appearance. Clarity is a critical factor in a diamond’s value, ensuring each stone meets the high standards of Kismet by Milka’s luxurious aesthetic.
The cut of a diamond is what breathes life into the stone, transforming it into a dazzling masterpiece. More than just its shape, a diamond’s cut quality determines how light interacts with the facets, reflecting and refracting to create its brilliance, fire, and scintillation. A precisely cut diamond optimizes these qualities, making it appear more vibrant and luminous. At Kismet by Milka, only diamonds with exceptional cut grades are selected, ensuring that every piece radiates unmatched beauty and perfection.
A carat is a unit of measurement that represents the weight of a diamond. Like all precious gemstones, a diamond’s weight is expressed in carats, abbreviated as ct. One carat equals one-fifth of a gram, or 0.2 grams. The weight of a diamond plays a significant role in its value. Carat weights used in Kismet by Milka designs can be seen below.
A diamond reaches its most beautiful form after it is expertly cut and the best way to reflect light is through precise cutting techniques. However, achieving brilliance is not just about shaping the stone, it depends on the angles, proportions, and alignment of the facets. These tiny, window-like surfaces must be positioned in harmony to allow the diamond to reflect light optimally. This is why a diamond’s cut is one of the key factors in determining a diamond’s value. A well-cut diamond enhances brilliance, radiance, and overall beauty. While many of a diamond’s characteristics are determined by nature, its sparkle and final beauty are brought to life by the skill of a master cutter.
Diamonds come in a range of colors, from pure white to shades of yellow. The color grading scale starts with D, which represents the most colorless and valuable diamonds. As the scale moves down to E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and beyond, the presence of yellow or brownish hues becomes more noticeable. The closer a diamond is to colorless, the more it enhances light reflection and brilliance, making it highly sought after in fine jewelry.
Beyond diamonds, the world of fine jewelry is ruled by three extraordinary gemstone emerald, sapphire, and ruby. Their value is determined by their rarity in nature, the intensity of their color, and the origins of their mines. At Kismet by Milka, we embrace the brilliance of these vibrant treasures, offering an array of cuts that celebrate their timeless beauty and powerful presence.
