The 6 C's
In recent years, the allure of colored gemstones has surged, driven by heightened awareness and a desire to stand out from the crowd. As patrons bear witness to the mesmerizing colors and dazzling dispersion of these exquisite stones, demand soars. Amid this surge, englow specialists remain steadfast in our grading criteria, considering the "Six C's" during our meticulous gemstone selection process:
-
Carat
-
Certification
-
Character
-
Clarity
-
Color
-
Cut
A gemstone that excels in these categories, especially in its untreated state, is destined for desirability. The source of a gemstone's certification is paramount, as some grading institutions carry higher prestige than others. While diamonds are commonly associated with the "Four C's" to define their value, colored gemstones possess countless subtleties that demand additional criteria. Nevertheless, the true beauty of these rare gems lies in the eyes of the beholder.

"At englow, our expert perspective is guided by specific protocols. We examine gemstones under natural light to ensure impartial evaluation. Strong saturation is a hallmark of quality, and even minute inclusions tell the unique story of a gemstone's character and history. Clarity is a crucial factor in determining a stone's eminence."
​
Color, of course, holds particular significance. Gemstones like emeralds and rubies exhibit pleochroism, a visual wonder where multiple colors emerge from a single stone depending on the observer's perspective. For this reason, an even color distribution with a medium tone is preferred, and our skilled craftsmen expertly minimize the effect of pleochroism through their final cut.
As a testament to the deep meaning behind gemstones, birthstones carry special significance. Collectors and wearers often gravitate toward birthstones, celebrating the personal connection they represent. Each month boasts a unique gemstone, each with its own captivating story:
​
-
January: Garnet
-
February: Amethyst
-
March: Aquamarine and Bloodstone
-
April: Diamond

Much like ancient civilizations formed intimate, mystical bonds with gemstones, we encourage you to make selections based on what resonates with your heart, rather than societal expectations.
After the meticulous sourcing process, gemstones are transformed with unparalleled precision, carved, forged, and shaped to radiate and reflect light with captivating allure.
