Diamonds are the rarest and most prized gemstones in the world. In addition to their singular brilliance, they also have unique characteristics. In Greek and Roman mythology, diamonds were considered to be the tears of God or fragments of the stars. They are formed under extraordinary conditions of pressure and temperature, deep within the earth. They are composed only of carbon atoms, giving them the status of the hardest mineral known today.
Throughout the ages, diamonds have been cut and re-cut several times, allowing their stories to be told by many generations, and they have come down to the present day rich in history.
Many kings and queens wanted to use diamonds in their personal adornments as a sign of power, but also for their brilliance, durability, elegance and beauty.
Reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” reflects the sentiment of many women, contributing to the fame of diamonds in the world of high jewelry and luxury products.

Many of our jewels are custom-made in our atelier, according to the dreams of those who come to us.
Therefore, it is important to know the correct size and measurement of the jewel we are going to design.
If you still have doubts about the size and measurement of the ring you are going to buy:

When placed on your finger, the ring should be comfortable so that it does not fall off, but loose enough to slide off when you want to take it off.
The size of your finger varies depending on the time of day and the weather. To obtain the best results, measure your finger:
— At the end of the day or when your finger is warm (fingers are thinner early in the morning or when the weather is cold);
— Measure your finger size 3 to 4 times to avoid possible reading errors.
To obtain more accurate measurements, you should avoid using string or paper to measure your finger size, as these materials can stretch or twist, distorting the actual measurement. If you are ordering from abroad, you can determine your ring size according to your country, using the table above, matching the Portuguese size with the international size.
