How can I find my ring size?

What is the difference between 14K gold and 18K gold?
'18 karat' means the metal is 75% pure gold, whereas '14 karat' means the metal is only 58.5% pure gold. Both purities are used primarily for quality jewelry and are durable for every day use. 18 karat purity produces a finer quality gold and a richer color when used to create yellow gold. When creating white gold, the two purities will not yield significantly different colors.

Which metal type is best?
Our ring collection and most of our fine jewelry comes in Platinum and Gold (White or Yellow). Platinum is more durable and will show fewer nicks and scratches. As for color, Platinum and White Gold look similar and yield a modern style, while Yellow gold is perfect for those who prefer the hue's warmth and chic appeal.

What is the difference between White Gold and Platinum?
Many consumers make a common mistake in defining the difference between White Gold and Platinum only by price. Platinum is four times stronger than White Gold, does not discolor or oxidize like Gold does, and is more durable. Platinum gives a very white, slightly duller appearance, while White Gold tends to shine brighter. 18 karat White Gold is a great option for the price conscious consumer who wants a purer metal.

What is rhodium and what does it do?
Rhodium is a metal alloy that is derived in the separation process of Platinum. Rhodium is commonly applied to fine jewelry to create an incredibly hard protective coating on Silver and Gold. It also provides a whiter shine and tarnish prevention to Silver and White Gold.

Why has my diamond or jewelry lost its shine or luster?
Daily wear, dust, and your skin's natural oils can cloud the brilliance of a diamond and dull the appearance of platinum and gold.

How do I clean my diamonds or jewelry?
You can clean diamond jewelry in warm water, using a mild liquid detergent. Use a soft brush to create lather around the jewelry piece. Rinse off with warm water, and pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

Do you sell certified diamonds from Canada?
Brilliance offers a wide selection of certified diamonds from Canada. Please contact a Brilliance representative at 866-737-0754 to shop for Canadian diamonds.

What is laser inscription?
A diamond that is laser inscribed has a set of numbers or letters on it's girdle allowing it to be positively identified in case of theft or after cleaning or repair, which can only be seen under magnification.

What does Ideal Cut mean?
An Ideal Cut stone is a diamond that has been cut to produce the greatest brilliance and fire. A diamond can be polished within a range of measurements that yield an Ideal Cut. For detailed descriptions and diagrams about the cut of a diamond, please visit our Diamond Cut section.

What does Make mean?
Make is a term used in the World's Diamond Markets to refer to a diamond's cut, finish, and appearance. Each diamond at Brilliance is evaluated on a 'Make' scale, which is based on the quality of a diamond's proportions as well as its visual brilliance and fire.

Are some diamond certifications better than others?
The most respected gemology labs are the GIA and the AGS. However, all of the certifications we carry come only from one of the five universally trusted gemology labs. To learn about the different labs and the advantages of each please click here.
