Diamond Carat

Carat is often the first thing to come to mind when thinking about a diamond’s size. Size and carat weight are closely related but there are other factors in a diamond’s appearance. Cut and shape also play a role in whether the diamond appears visually larger or smaller than its actual carat weight.

Kwiat Standards

A properly cut diamond will not have too much weight in hidden areas. The added weight increases the cost without giving the diamond a larger appearance. At Kwiat, we cut our diamonds to keep the carat weight in the right places. Each gem has the widest possible diameter to appear larger than other diamonds of comparable carat weight. And because of their superior cut, our diamonds will appear whiter than their GIA color grade. We call this the Kwiat Tiara® Cut.

THE Legacy COLLECTION

Embrace Earrings with Diamonds

Simply reversing the typical orientation of a pear shape diamond drop creates an entirely new style statement. Suspended from round brilliants by crossed arms of pavé, these stones exhibit Kwiat’s superb standards: each was selected for its outstanding natural qualities, then fashioned with exacting precision by the world’s best diamantaires. The minimal platinum settings are engineered to hold the stones securely while maximizing light flow for the ultimate sparkle.
