Whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring or a special piece of jewelry, this guide will help you understand the key factors that influence quality and value.
The 4 C’s
Every diamond is unique, with specific characteristics that determine the value of the stone. To determine the value of a diamond, we use various value factors, also known as the “4 Cs” – Carat Weight, Clarity, Color and Cut.
Diamond Shapes
Diamonds can be cut into virtually any shape. Diamonds are typically divided into two categories: Round Brilliant Cut and Fancy Shapes. Fancy Shapes includes all cuts that are not Round Brilliant. The size, shape and quality of the raw diamond determine the final shape.
Different Metals
The choice of metal is a very personal matter. The color of the metal suits people in different ways, and sometimes the choice can be more traditional than modern. All A.P. Shaps jewelry is made of metals that are widely accepted for jewelry production. However, it is important to remember that over time, all metals will get scratches and marks. The amount of wear and tear a piece of jewelry is exposed to depends on the wearer.
Size Guide
Ring sizes are measured differently in different countries. To convert from one size to another, please refer to our size list below. The most common way to measure ring sizes in Sweden is using the European scale. If you have any questions regarding ring sizes or are unsure which size to order, please contact one of our sales consultants for assistance through the process.
