DISCOVER THE BEAUTY AND VERSATILITY OF 18K GOLD JEWELLERY​




Gold jewellery has been cherished for centuries, symbolizing wealth, elegance, and lasting beauty. Among the different types of gold, 18K gold jewellery stands out for its perfect balance of luxury and durability. Whether you’re looking for timeless pieces, modern designs, or jewellery that suits both daily wear and special occasions, 18K gold offers versatility and elegance. In this guide, we’ll explore the types of 18K gold jewellery and why it continues to be a popular choice worldwide.​

 


What is 18K Gold?


18K gold refers to gold that is 75% pure, with the remaining 25% made up of other metals like copper, silver, or palladium. This composition gives 18K gold its rich color and strength, making it ideal for jewellery. Unlike 24K gold, which is softer and more prone to scratches, 18K gold maintains a luxurious look while being more durable and resistant to daily wear. This makes 18K gold jewellery perfect for everything from rings and bracelets to necklaces and earrings.

 




At Damas, we are committed to procuring exceptional and rare precious gemstones including diamonds with the help of our dedicated, expert gemologists. We follow a meticulous process of sourcing, treating, and cutting diamonds to bring you exceptional jewellery pieces with the highest standards of quality.


Diamonds are graded & certified based on the 4c’s. Each diamond at Damas is individually graded by expert gemologists to determine the final grade. A diamond is evaluated using the 4c’s - cut, clarity, colour, and carat which indicates how well a diamond has been cut down from its raw form into a jewel, how flawless and clear it is, and its size.

C for Clarity: The main two clarity grading categories are inclusions and blemishes. Inclusions are natural imperfections that occur inside the diamond when it is being formed under immense heat and pressure while blemishes are imperfections that appear on the surface of the diamond and occur while polishing and cutting the diamond. The clarity of the diamond is determined based on the place and colour of the blemishes.



Diamond Grading Scales:


The diamond grading starts from the highest scale of F meaning it is flawless with no inclusion or blemishes or IF internally flawless which means the diamond has no inclusion but can have small blemishes, but these diamonds are extremely rare and expensive.


The 2nd highest category of diamond gradings are VVSI and VVS2 which means the diamond shows minute inclusions that cannot be seen without microscope so to the naked eye VVS cannot be differentiated from F or IF graded diamonds.


The third and most common category of diamonds is VS which means the diamond features minor inclusions although VVS diamonds have less inclusion that VS diamonds still these inclusions are very small and do not interfere with diamond clarity too much and they are invisible to the naked eye.


The 4th and 5th diamond grading are S (Noticeable inclusions) & I (Obvious Inclusions) Diamonds at this grade have larger inclusions. Some inclusions may be visible to the naked eye and may affect clarity. SI diamonds may appear cloudy or less sparkly than VS, VVS, IF, and F diamonds.





C for Color: diamonds’ colour is assessed and graded based on the absence of colour, the more colourless the diamond the more radiant it is.
