Palladium is a noble metal that is used to create fine jewelry. It is a white metal that, like Platinum, is natural and not the result of plating or alloying. Palladium is naturally strong and durable and is a more hypo allergenic option compared to white gold. Palladium provides the look of Platinum for approximately the price of white gold and has a great look that will last a lifetime! Calvin’s Fine Jewelry has a beautiful selection of palladium jewelry in stock and online. One of our top palladium sellers is a men’s palladium wedding band!

I’m sure you’ve heard the term “The 4 C’s” when shopping for diamonds. This is a quick overview about what you should know about the 4 C’s before you shop!
Carat is the unit of measurement used to describe the weight of diamonds. 1.00carat equals .20 grams. Carat weight is commonly expressed in points or fractions. There are 100 points in 1 carat. For instance, 0.33 carats is generally expressed as 33 points, or 1/3 of a carat.
Cut describes the face up shape and style of facets the diamond has. It also refers to the proportions of the diamond. Cut is a diamond's most important characteristic. It has the greatest overall influence on a diamond's beauty. When a diamond is cut with the proper proportions, light is returned out of the top of the diamond. If the diamond is cut too shallow the light leaks out of the bottom. If it’s cut too deep the light escapes out of the side. This is important to you because this relates to the amount of light that a diamond returns to you = THE SPARKLE!
Clarity has six possible grades that refer to the size, location and number of internal inclusions or external blemishes viewed by 10x magnification. Clarity should be thought of as a diamond’s fingerprint. The grades begin with Flawless (FL) for a diamond with no internal inclusions or external blemishes. Next is Internally Flawless (IF) followed by Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1-2). VVS diamonds show very few, small inclusions. Very Slightly Included (VS1-2) is next followed by Slightly Included (SI1-2). SI clarity stones show inclusions that will easily be seen with 10x magnification. Lastly, Included (I1-2-3) diamonds are highly included and inclusions may be seen without magnification.
Color begins with D and ends with Z, before “fancy” color grades begin. D is the grade given to a diamond that is completely colorless. Most diamonds set in engagement rings today are in the near-colorless range with G/H color.

Garnet, January’s birthstone, is a warm red color perfect for a winter accessory! The word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "seed." This name was given to the garnet because of its close resemblance to the pomegranate seed.
Although most commonly known as a red gemstone, the garnet comes in a variety of other hues colors including yellows, oranges, pinks, greens and violets.
First mined in Sri Lanka over 2,500 years ago, the garnet is also found in Africa, Australia, India, Russia, South America and in the United States.
A gift of garnet is thought to be symbolic of love and the desire for a loved one's safe travel and speedy homecoming. With its brilliance and multitude of colors, is truly one gemstone that should be in everyone’s jewelry collection!
