The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes. Five metric carats weigh exactly 1 gram.
Some people want the largest diamond possible. If size is a priority, we at Thurber's Jewelers can help you classify the proper cut, color, and clarity to fit your budget and fit your jewelry beautifully. Many of our engagement rings can fit diamonds up to 5.00 carats, but each ring has different size constraints based on its size and the type of setting. Prong settings can be manipulated to fit virtually any size diamond, but tension-set diamonds and bezel-set diamonds have more limitations on size.
When shopping for the perfect ring setting, there are many setting styles to choose from. Solitaire settings are great if you have a stunning singular stone that has been passed down through the generations as an heirloom. Many choose to display it in a classic Solitaire setting. This setting generally allows for the maximum amount of sparkle by allowing light to pass through the ring's bottom sections.

Looking for inspiration for your upcoming anniversary gift? At Thurber's Jewelers, we've curated a list featuring both traditional and modern gift ideas tailored for each year of your celebration. Yet, the joy of gifting jewelry doesn't have to be reserved for special occasions alone. Unsure about the perfect choice? Our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you. Feel free to reach out today for some wonderful gift ideas that will truly make any moment special.
At Thurber's Jewelers, we understand that while our exquisite pieces are crafted to withstand the test of time, everyday wear and tear can take its toll. We recommend a safe for those high-value and rare items when storing your precious jewelry. A soft pouch provides protection for individual gemstones, preventing contact with other hard surfaces. Silver jewelry deserves a cool, dry place, ideally wrapped in a soft piece of felt or cloth. Speak with one of our knowledgeable sales representatives about acquiring a jewelry box to safeguard all your cherished treasures. Entrust us with the care of your jewelry, and our professional cleaning services will have your pieces looking shiny and rejuvenated in no time!
When it comes to cleaning, exercise caution with ultrasonic cleaners, as not all gemstones can withstand their vibrations. Diamond cleaners typically contain ammonia and water, and a gentle brush can effectively remove dust or dirt from beneath the setting. For your silver jewelry, utilize a silver polishing cloth, with or without a special silver cleaning solution, to maintain its lustrous beauty. For a thorough and professional cleaning experience, bring your jewelry to Thurber's Jewelers, where we ensure every piece is treated with the utmost care and expertise.
Acquiring a diamond is a significant investment, and making an informed decision is crucial. Consider these tips to simplify this vital purchase.
Diamond Weight & Size: While the allure of a large diamond is undeniable, it's essential to balance size with quality. Larger diamonds often reveal more inclusions, making them more visible. Moreover, proper proportions in the diamond cut play a pivotal role in maximizing light reflection. At Thurber's Jewelers, we emphasize that a diamond's brilliance is determined by its cut and proportions, ensuring you make a choice that balances size and sparkle.
Diamond Color: Diamonds come in a spectrum from colorless to yellowish-brown, each offering unique character. Some may appreciate the warmth or depth added by subtle colors. Mounting a non-colorless diamond in yellow gold can even create the illusion of colorlessness. Our knowledgeable team at Thurber's Jewelers is delighted to share insights on diamond colors, helping you discover the perfect balance that enhances the beauty of your diamond.
At Thurber's Jewelers, we understand the importance of this decision. Allow us to share our expertise, guiding you towards a confident and informed choice in your diamond purchase. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are here to assist you at every step of the way.
