A guide to choose Your Jewelery
We understand getting a jewellery is an daunting task. That’s why we have put together the following guide to help you.
MATERIALS
The most popular metals for rings are gold and platinum. When it comes to the visible differences between materials, yellow gold has a distinct hue that can be seen with the naked eye. However, platinum and white gold are visually identical, with the main difference being in their composition and properties.
No matter which material you choose, you can trust that we will guide you through the selection process and ensure that you get a piece of jewellery that you will love for a lifetime.
18k gold contains 75% pure gold, while 14k gold contains 58.3% pure gold. The higher percentage of pure gold in 18k gold makes it more valuable and durable. This is the material we use for all our rings at Heera fine jewels.
22ct gold (or 22k gold) is 91.6% pure gold. It has a very vibrant colour, but the downside is that it's also very soft. This makes it poorly suited to a lot of uses in jewellery.
No, our 18k gold is a durable and long-lasting metal that will not fade or change colour over time. However, like all metals, it may develop minor scratches or scuffs with wear
Yes, over time, white gold may begin to develop a yellowish tint due to the natural yellow colour of the gold alloy. However, this can be easily remedied by having the ring re-plated with rhodium, which restores its bright, silvery colour.
Platinum and white gold are both popular choices for engagement rings and other fine jewellery, but they differ in several ways. Platinum is a naturally white metal that is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. It is also a denser metal than gold, which gives it a more substantial feel.
White gold, on the other hand, is an alloy of gold and other white metals, such as nickel or palladium, that is coated with a thin layer of rhodium to give it a bright, silvery appearance. While white gold is generally less expensive than platinum, it may require periodic re-plating with rhodium to maintain its colour.
DIAMONDS
Diamond cut refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond, which affects its brilliance and fire. The cut grade ranges from excellent to poor, with excellent being the most valuable.
Clarity refers to the presence or absence of inclusions or blemishes in a diamond. The clarity grade ranges from flawless (no inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification) to included (inclusions visible to the naked eye).
Colour refers to the presence or absence of colour in a diamond, with colourless diamonds being the most valuable. The colour grade ranges from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown), with colourless diamonds being the most valuable.
Carat weight refers to the weight of the diamond, with larger diamonds being more valuable.
Below is also a chart that summarises the above. 
Carat weight refers to the weight of the diamond, while diamond size refers to the dimensions of the stone. A higher carat weight does not necessarily mean a larger diamond size, as the shape and cut of the diamond can also affect its size.
Yes, all diamonds above 0.3 ct come with a GIA certificate. These certificates provide assurance of the diamond's quality, authenticity, and value.
SIZING
The best way to determine your ring size is to visit a jeweller. If you are in Perth or Hong Kong, we can also come visit you with a ring sizer. If you're unable to visit us, you can use our ring size chart, which provides a guide to measuring your finger circumference at home.
At Heera Fine Jewels, we offer a complimentary resizing service for all our rings, although some styles may not be resizable due to their design. We recommend having your ring resized by a professional jeweller to ensure a proper fit.
