Diamonds & Gemstones
The 4 C's refer to Carat, Clarity, Color, and Cut, which are key aspects in assessing the quality and value of diamonds.
Carat is a measure of a diamond's weight. Clarity refers to the degree to which a diamond is free from internal inclusions, and it impacts the diamond's value and brilliance. Color evaluates the presence of any tint in a diamond, with a rating from D (colorless) to Z (noticeable color). Cut relates to how a diamond is shaped and faceted, which greatly affects its sparkle and brilliance.

Maintaining the sparkle of your diamond jewelry is essential to preserving its beauty. At Robinson's Jewelers, we recommend regular cleaning at home using a gentle approach.

For deeper cleaning, we recommend jewelry cleaning solutions specifically formulated for diamonds. Always remember to read and follow the instructions carefully to avoid any damage.
Aside from home care, it's also beneficial to have your diamond jewelry professionally cleaned regularly. This process can help remove any hard-to-reach dirt and bring back your diamonds' stunning brilliance. Our team at Robinson's Jewelers is happy to assist with professional cleanings to keep your jewelry at its sparkling best.
Remember, proper care and regular cleaning are integral to ensuring the longevity and beauty of your precious diamond jewelry.
Diamonds come in a wide variety of shapes, each with its unique aesthetic appeal and characteristics. The most popular and traditional shape is the round brilliant, known for its exceptional brilliance and fire. The princess cut, with its angular and modern appearance, is another popular choice, especially for engagement rings.
The emerald cut offers a unique, vintage appeal with its rectangular facets, while the cushion cut, featuring rounded corners and larger facets, boosts the stone's brilliance. For those preferring an elongated shape, the oval and pear cuts are elegant options, creating an illusion of greater size. The marquise cut, with its boat-like shape, also appears larger per carat and adds a touch of uniqueness.
Asscher and radiant cuts, while not as commonly chosen, offer distinct features that some customers find appealing - the Asscher cut has a distinctive Art Deco vibe, while the radiant cut combines the brilliance of round cuts with the modern lines of the emerald cut.
At Robinson's Jewelers, our expansive diamond collection features all these shapes and more to cater to a range of preferences and styles. Whether you're looking for something traditional or a shape that's more distinctive, we have a diamond that will meet your needs. Our team is always ready to guide you in understanding the differences and choosing the diamond shape that best complements your style.

Rhodium plating is a process that enhances the appearance of white gold by providing a bright, white finish. In its natural state, gold has a yellow hue. To create white gold, white alloys are incorporated. However, the resulting off-white color does not fully achieve the desired bright white appearance. Hence, a thin layer of rhodium, a rare and precious metal from the platinum group, is applied to white gold for that pristine, luminous white effect.
