DIAMOND EDUCATION

We don't sell, we teach.

We empower our customers, with all the tools they need to buy the most beautiful diamond possible.

Springer's Jewelers now hosts one of the largest loose diamond inventories in the Northeast. There is literally nothing you could possibly desire in a diamond that we don't have either in stock or have access to in 24 hours. We have so many diamonds because we sell so many diamonds, and that insures you will find exactly the diamond you want at Springer's Jewelers.

The First C: Cut

Of all the 4Cs, cut has the greatest effect on a diamond’s beauty. In determining the quality of the cut, the grader evaluates the cutter’s skill in the fashioning of the diamond. The more precise the cut, the more captivating the diamond is to the eye.

The second C: Color

Gem-quality diamonds occur in many hues. In the range from colorless to light yellow or light brown. Colorless diamonds are the rarest. Other natural colors (Blue, Red, Pink for example) are known as fancy – their color grading is different than that of white diamonds.

The THIRD C: CLARITY

Diamonds can have internal characteristics known as inclusions or external characteristics known as blemishes. Diamonds without inclusions or blemishes are rare; however, most of these characteristics can only be seen with magnification.

The fourth C: Carat

The carat is the diamond’s physical weight measured in metric carats. One carat equals 1/5 gram and is subdivided into 100 points. Carat weight is the most objective of the 4Cs. It involves no estimates, comparisons or judgments.

The fIFTH C: CONFIDENCE

What's one extra C for peace of mind? When you shop smart — with an American Gem Society’s top jeweler — you will feel confident in your decision. You know that the jeweler is qualified to describe the characteristics of your diamond, so you can make the choice that is right for you.

The Diamonds

Only 1/10th of 1% of the world's natural rough diamonds will ever be fit to be Hearts On Fire. It's because Hearts On Fire diamonds all boast a perfect ring of eight hearts on the bottom and a perfectly formed, symmetrical Fireburst® on the top that will outshine any other diamond. As a result, a Hearts On Fire diamond displays a perfection you can actually see. As light enters the diamond, it descends downward into the pavilion. A standard diamond with an inferior cut leaks light from the bottom and sides. Too deep or too shallow a cut, and the light that gives a diamond its brilliance is lost. However, because of its perfectly symmetrical cut and increased surface area, a Hearts On Fire diamond captures that light and reflects it from the top, creating maximum brilliance and fire. Due to the unique and exclusive high-quality cut, Hearts On Fire diamond-cutting experts specialize in only two exceptional diamond cuts – Hearts On Fire (Round) and the Dream (Square).

The Craft

Currently, there are less than 400 people in the world who are qualified to create a Hearts On Fire diamond. These skilled craftsmen then uphold the highest quality of diamond creation, leveraging cutting-edge anti-vibration technology and a scientific diamond-cutting formula that is unknown to anyone else in the world. In addition, while most manufacturers use a 10X magnification process, Hearts On Fire artisans craft their diamonds at 100X magnification, using unique imaging software that results in a perfect mirror polish. That's 10 times the global industry standard. When a diamond has perfect proportions, perfect symmetry, perfect alignment and perfect polish, a natural phenomenon of light is created. This unique and extremely rare display of sparkle is the easiest way to differentiate a Hearts On Fire diamond.

The Promise

When you invest in a Hearts On Fire diamond, you'll receive a promise in return. A promise that you are receiving one of the world’s most beautiful, brilliant and perfectly cut diamonds. That your diamond is one of pure integrity, crafted from a Kimberley-Process certified single source for a completely conflict-free diamond. That your serialized diamond is protected and registered with a Hearts On Fire laser inscription. And a promise that Hearts On Fire stands by the superior quality of their diamonds, supported by an exclusive Diamond Identity Document created just for you.
