Engagement ring with diamond | As if held by two hands

Engagement ring "Hanzu", handmade in finest Mokume Gane technique...

...can be forged in light tones, such as palladium and silver, as well as in yellow and red precious metal colours. When it comes to the choice of diamond, the Hanzu engagement ring opens up a wide range of possibilities. From 0.25 carat to 0.50 carat, but also 0.75 or 1.0 carat diamonds can be incorporated into the Hanzu engagement ring. The most beautiful fire is created by a brilliant cut diamond, but beautiful navette cuts are also possible.

Quality of diamonds | 4c's

Colour | Cut | Clarity | Carat

As diamond quality for the engagement ring we recommend to our customers the diamond colour from "Wesselton" and the clarity from the classification "si", for small inclusion (clarity). "Small inclusion" refers to inclusions (authenticity features) that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but are immediately visible with 10x magnification. There is no reduction in the brilliance of the diamond. This is followed upwards by "very small inclusion", "verry, very small inclusion" and "flawless".

Regarding the diamond colour, Wesselton (w) should be a minimum standard. Shades below this, such as "top crystal", or "crystal", already have a distinct yellow hue and may look very nice in a yellow piece of jewellery, but look rather inferior in a white metal.

Regarding the cut and the proportion of the diamond, we recommend and use only "good" or "very good".

The quality feature of the cut is decisive for the brilliance and fire of a diamond. The outstanding optical properties of a diamond can only be fully appreciated if a corridor of parameters is precisely adhered to during the cutting process.

The proportions of a diamond can be slightly higher and narrower, or slightly lower and wider. This often depends on the dimensions of the rough diamond. Depending on this, the angles of total reflection, which are especially important in the lower part, are created. They decide whether the stone reflects the incident light upwards or allows it to escape at the bottom. In the latter case, the diamond appears lifeless, even showing a black eye in the centre.
