Hopefully, looking through some of my past works will help represent the standard of writing that can be expected from me. Thank you for browsing!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Commonly known as 玉 (yù) or ç¿¡ç¿ (fei cui) in Chinese, Jade is made up of two separate gemstones — nephrite & jadeite. It is a spiritual stone known for its high durability and significance in Chinese culture because of its beauty, practical use and value.
In ancient China, Jade was regarded as the most precious stone as well as a symbol of good luck, prosperity and success. In fact, it was so highly valued that it resulted in a saying that goes “Gold is valuable while Jade is priceless.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF CUT
Conventional wisdom says that when buying diamonds, one should focus on the 4Cs - Carat, Cut, Clarity and Colour. However, if you only had to focus on one, it should definitely be the cut.
​
It is not the colour, but the cut that determines the “fire” and sparkle of a diamond. When a cut is right, a half carat diamond can stand out more than a bigger sized carat.

Read on to find out why we say cut is the king of the 4Cs of a diamond!
