To establish a diamond's quality, jewelers examine each of the 4 Cs - cut, clarity, color and carat weight. The combination of the 4 Cs determines the value of a particular diamond. First, don't confuse diamond "cut" with "shape." Shape refers to the general outward appearance of the diamond, (such as round, emerald, or pear).
When a diamond jeweler says "cut, " that's a reference to the diamond's reflective qualities, not the shape. Diamond cut is perhaps the most important of the four Cs, so it is important to understand how this quality affects the properties and values of a diamond. When we talk about Cut as a value factor, we're also talking about the proportions, symmetry and finish of a diamond.

Williams Jewelry was founded in 1911 by Ed Williams. The music and jewelry store was originally located on the West Side of the downtown square, and moved to the present location about 1925. The store remained in the Williams family until Ed Williams passed away. In 1953, the Williams family sold the store to Don Thoma, a 4th generation jeweler from Sidney, Ohio.
Most gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones arose from the Breastplate of Aaron: a ceremonial religious garment set with twelve gemstones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel and also corresponded with the twelve signs of the zodiac and the twelve months of the year.
Because ancient civilizations did not always classify gemstones by mineral species like modern day gemologists do, there is some debate about which gemstones were set in the breastplate and why.Because of this, different cultures around the world have developed different birth stone lists. The modern day list that you know is only the most recent list; some older lists still exist.
