ROSE & KARA Diamond earrings

Rose & Kara: Quality and Choice

The Rose & Kara collection, exclusively available on Pixmania, is the fruit of a collaboration between Pixmania's founders and a family of diamond merchants based in Antwerp.

Rose & Kara's high-quality jewels blend elegance and sophistication. Great care has gone into selecting each diamond, gemstone and precious stone.

Rose & Kara includes a huge selection of rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets to suit everyone's budget and taste.

Earrings

Creole earrings are bracelets for the ears! They're created from thicker metal, and some are embellished with gemstones. There's a size, metal and design to suit everyone's taste.

Small loops and stud earrings are popular choices as they are a discreet way of freshening up a look. Studs and loops are generally constructed on the end of a post that penetrates straight through the ear and are fixed with a clasp.

Dangle earrings are attached to the ear with thin wires that go through the earlobe and connect to themselves in a small hook at the back.

Diamonds and the 4Cs

A diamond's value is determined by several criteria, including colour. Diamond colour scales range from D to Z. A D-graded diamond is colourless, with no hue, and thus is the most valuable.

Diamonds are also graded on the quality of cut, which is defined as follows: Ideal | Premium | Very good | Good.
Shapes include pear, princess, trilliant, marquise, oval, cushion, emerald, baguette, trapeze, radiant and heart.

Clarity relates to the visual appearance of a diamond. Internal characteristics are called inclusions, while surface defects are known as blemishes. Inclusions and blemishes are graded from FL (Flawless) to I3 (Included 3). However, inclusions up to grade S12 are not visible to the naked eye.

Diamond quality is also determined by Carat weight. The size of a diamond does not reflect its weight.

Diamond prices increase exponentially according to the weight of the stone, which is calculated in levels. There can be a huge difference between a 0.89 carat diamond and a 0.9 carat diamond, as these two values belong to different levels.

Because large stones are rare, price increases are not proportional to weight: a 1.5 carat diamond is three times the weight of a 0.5 carat diamond, but the price can be five to seven times higher than a 0.5 carat stone.

Gold

Although gold is a soft yellow metal, it can be alloyed with other metals to harden and create colour variations such as pink and white. Depending on the amount of gold present, it can be 18 carats, 14 carats or 9 carats. The higher the number of carats, the purer the gold.
