Frequently Asked Questions

The 4Cs are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight. They provide a widely used framework for describing important characteristics of a diamond.

Shape refers to the outline of a diamond, such as Round, Oval, Emerald or Pear. Cut refers to how the diamond has been proportioned, faceted and finished, where applicable, and how those factors influence light performance.

Round brilliant diamonds are widely recognized for their classic appearance. However, the best shape depends on individual taste and jewellery design.

No. Carat measures weight, not overall quality. Cut, color, clarity, proportions, shape and other characteristics also influence a diamond's appearance.

A diamond's light performance is influenced by its cut quality, proportions, faceting and other characteristics, as well as viewing conditions.

Clarity refers to characteristics observed within a diamond and, in some cases, on its surface. A clarity grade reflects the grading laboratory's assessment according to its standards.

Start by understanding your budget, preferred jewellery style and diamond shape. Then compare the 4Cs and review the available grading documentation.

Choksi Gems & Jewellers works across diamond sourcing, trading, jewellery manufacturing and finished jewellery. Our team combines product knowledge with considered craftsmanship, clear certification guidance and personal consultation for retail and business requirements.

There is no universal amount that everyone should spend. Choose a budget that is comfortable for you and consider the complete jewellery design rather than focusing only on the diamond.

This depends on your priorities. Consider the overall appearance you want and compare how changes in carat, clarity, color and cut affect the complete diamond.

Either approach can work. The diamond and setting should ultimately be considered together so that the shape, proportions and design complement one another.

Compare the grading information, shape, proportions, appearance, measurements, certification and overall design. Consider which characteristics matter most to you.

Yes. You can contact our team to discuss your preferred style, budget and jewellery requirements.

Diamond jewellery can include rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and bridal jewellery.

A solitaire design typically features a single central gemstone as the main visual focus of the ring.

A halo setting surrounds a central gemstone with smaller stones, creating a framed appearance.

White gold, yellow gold, rose gold and platinum can create different visual effects. The right choice depends on your preferred style, design and material requirements.

Custom jewellery options depend on the design and services offered. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.

A diamond grading report is a document issued by a gemological laboratory that describes characteristics observed and measured during its grading process.

No. A grading report describes characteristics, while an appraisal may provide an estimated monetary value for a particular purpose.

Depending on the report and laboratory, it can include shape, measurements, carat weight, color, clarity, cut-related information and additional observations.

Identify the report number and use the issuing laboratory's official verification service when available. Compare the verified details with the physical diamond and purchase documents.

Yes. Keep the report and related purchase documentation in a safe place for your records.

Cleaning frequency depends on how frequently the jewellery is worn and its materials. Regular gentle cleaning can help remove everyday buildup.

Removing jewellery during activities where it could experience impact, snagging or unnecessary exposure can help reduce the risk of damage.

Store pieces in a clean, dry jewellery box and keep individual items separated to reduce scratching and tangling.

Stop wearing the jewellery and have it inspected by a qualified jewellery professional as soon as practical.

No. The appropriate cleaning method depends on the gemstone, metal, setting and construction of the piece.

Periodic professional inspection can help identify loose stones, worn settings, damaged clasps and other issues that may not be immediately visible.

A consultation can be used to discuss your jewellery preferences, diamond requirements, design ideas and questions before making a decision.

Yes. If custom design services are available, you can use a consultation to discuss your preferred style, diamond shape, metal and design ideas.
