More than a beautiful piece

A little light.
So many ways to wear it.

A diamond can be the quiet sparkle of a pair of earrings, the rhythm of a bracelet or the detail that makes a vintage setting memorable. Start with how you want to wear the piece, then get to know its stones and craftsmanship.

At David’s, discover vintage, antique and modern designs with details that reward a closer look. See each listing for the piece’s own story and specifications.

Discover the details ↗

A little knowledge

Diamond, at a glance.

Four details behind a beautiful discovery.

Cut

How light returns.

For a faceted diamond, proportions and craftsmanship influence its appearance. Cut is different from shape.

Color

Know the description.

White diamonds and fancy-color diamonds use different approaches to describing color.

DiamondA closer look

Clarity

Details within.

Clarity considers inclusions and surface characteristics. A report should refer to the specific stone.

Carat

A measure of weight.

Carat weight is not a measurement of visible size. Check whether a listing states center or total weight.

A little knowledge, a better choice

What makes
a piece yours?

You do not have to know every gemstone term to make a thoughtful choice. Start with these four questions.

Read David’s buying guide ↗

01

Choose the way you’ll wear it.

Consider earrings for everyday light, a bracelet for movement, a necklace close to the heart or a ring with presence.

02

Confirm the diamond’s identity.

Ask whether it is natural or laboratory-grown, what treatments are known and which reports are available.

03

Look at the whole design.

Notice cut, setting, condition and proportions together. A number or grade alone cannot describe an entire piece.

04

Ask about fit and fastenings.

Check bracelet length, clasp security, earring backs and ring size, plus any suitable adjustment options.

How to make it yours

A little character. Entirely you.

Ideas to wear, pair and enjoy your next discovery.

April

A birthday connection.

Good to know

A few good questions.

Which month is associated with diamond?

Diamond is the birthstone for April. You can also choose it simply because you love it. Read more on David’s ↗

What should I ask before choosing a piece?

Natural and laboratory-grown diamonds are different origin categories; diamond simulants are different materials. Ask about origin category, detectable treatments and the report for the exact stone. Diamond is 10 on the Mohs scratch scale, but it can still chip and a setting can still wear. Read more on David’s ↗

How should I care for it?

A mild soap solution and a soft brush may suit an untreated diamond in a sound setting, but companion stones and treatments can change the method. Avoid harsh chemicals and hard blows. Have prongs and clasps checked, and ask before steam or ultrasonic cleaning of vintage or treated pieces. Read more on David’s ↗
