It is not just any stone; it is the universal symbol of that which endures, of that which remains steadfast against the passage of time. At WESSELTON, where we cultivate craftsmanship and discernment, we understand the diamond as a masterpiece of nature and human ingenuity, capable of encapsulating memories and emotions in every gesture and every moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A diamond is the result of a process that begins deep within the Earth, under extreme pressures and temperatures. Its crystalline structure (formed solely by carbon atoms arranged in an exceptional way) gives it the greatest hardness known in a natural material, and this quality directly influences its ability to interact with light.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The 4Cs of Diamonds: The Common Language of Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To accurately describe and understand a diamond, the jewelry industry employs a universally recognized system: the 4Cs. This set of criteria allows for an objective evaluation of each stone&#8217;s qualities and helps find the one that best suits the intention and meaning of the jewelry it will be set in.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut: More than just a shape, the cut reveals the diamond&#8217;s inner spectacle. Through a careful arrangement of the facets, its brilliance, chromatic &#8220;fire,&#8221; and the radiance created by the movement of light are enhanced.<\/li>\n<li>Carat Weight: This measures the size of the stone, but it is not the only parameter of value. A larger diamond is not always more beautiful if there is no harmonious balance among all four Cs (complement, quality, and beauty).<\/li>\n<li>Color: In white diamonds, the absence of color is appreciated as purity and transparency. The scale ranges from &#8220;colorless&#8221; to slight warm hues, a detail that experts know how to interpret according to the design and metal context.<\/li>\n<li>Clarity: The internal characteristics of the diamond (called inclusions) are a trace of its natural formation. The less visible and better distributed the crystals, the greater the clarity and, consequently, the visual quality of the stone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these four dimensions, certification by impartial laboratories is essential. At WESSELTON, we select only diamonds certified by internationally recognized organizations, guaranteeing that each piece is rigorously and transparently evaluated.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beyond the technique: the diamond as a language<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The diamond is special not only for its physical appearance but also for what it represents. It is a gem that accompanies significant decisions: engagements, anniversaries, life stages that deserve to be remembered. Its brilliance is not a whim but the visible manifestation of an inner harmony between nature and the work of the artisan.<\/p>\n<p>At WESSELTON, we value both gemological precision and the profound meaning of each diamond. For us, choosing a precious stone is about understanding its story (and yours) and finding in it a lasting symbol of what truly matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the heart of the finest jewelry lies a singular gem: the diamond.
