At TGG, we simply can't get enough of diamonds. Their breathtaking brilliance and captivating allure never fail to bring joy both to our customers and to us. Their remarkable spark and irresistible twinkle have a way of lighting up any piece of jewelry. But have you ever wondered how these tiny treasures are formed?

Millions of years in the making, deep within the Earth, carbon atoms forged an extraordinary journey. Under immense heat and pressure over billions of years, they metamorphosed into the exquisite gem we know today as diamond. However, it wasn't until the volcanic eruptions that ascended diamonds and carried them upward through molten rock that they finally sparkled upon the Earth's surface. From the moment the first one was discovered, thousands of years ago in ancient India, diamonds have remained treasures beyond compare.

To help you find the perfect diamond that reflects your style, budget and preferences, we’ve created a comprehensive diamond guide. This guide will walk you through all the important aspects to consider before choosing and buying your sparkling companion.

Choosing a diamond is an exciting step, and we understand you want to feel confident about your selection. But understanding and navigating the realm of diamonds can be daunting without proper guidance. That's where the 4C’s come in handy. The 4C’s – cut, color, clarity and carat, are your key to understanding a diamond’s beauty, quality and value. Considering these factors will help you find a diamond that sparkles brilliantly and fits your budget and taste perfectly.

The 4C’s of Diamonds is an industry standard, fundamental framework put forward by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in the 1940s. It stands for cut, color, clarity and carat weight of a diamond. Each of these characteristics are graded and documented by professionals. As a universal scale to assess and determine the quality of diamonds, this framework allows enthusiasts and buyers alike to define, assess and appreciate diamonds with confidence and consciousness.
