Diamonds come in a variety of colors, with colorless being the most prized. Frank & co. sets the bar high by using the standard of only diamonds graded D to F color in their collections. This ensures exceptional colorless brilliance, maximizing a diamond's fire and sparkle. Every piece in our collection reflects our commitment to the highest standards of excellence.
Diamonds are formed naturally; some may have tiny internal markings called inclusions. These can affect a diamond's brilliance. Clarity refers to the absence of internal and external imperfections. Frank & co. prioritizes exceptional clarity, ensuring every diamond we offer meets a high standard.
Frank & co. primarily focuses on diamonds with VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) clarity or higher. This means any inclusions are extremely difficult to detect, even by a trained gemologist, with the naked eye. This guarantees that each diamond sparkles with pristine clarity and brilliance.
A diamond's cut is the heart of its brilliance. It's the artistry of shaping and faceting that unlocks a diamond's fire and sparkle. Frank & co. elevates diamond cutting to an art form.
Frank & co. emphasizes the importance of diamond cut, which determines the diamond's brilliance and sparkle. Our master cutters then employ their expertise to achieve the most ideal proportions, symmetry, and polish.

Carat is the standard weight measuring unit for diamonds and other gemstones. It takes its name from the carob seed. Because these small seeds had a fairly uniform weight, early gem traders used them as counterweights in their balance scales.
A carat is equal to 0.2 grams. Within the diamond trade, fractions of a carat are referred to as points. One carat is divided into 100 points, each point is 1/100th of a carat. A 10-point diamond weighs 1/10th of a carat, and a 50-point stone weighs one-half carat.
