Like many children who grow up in family jewelry businesses, Chuck Smith began his jewelry career pushing brooms and going to the post office. Eventually, in high school, he learned the craft of polishing fine jewelry and simple repair work. Charles, Chuck's father, insisted that he "only hired college graduates". With that, Chuck pursued his interests of math and science at NC State University. Chuck graduated NC State with a Nuclear Engineering degree. After working for the federal government overhauling nuclear submarines for five years, he rejoined the family jewelry business in 1990.

The Four Cs of Diamonds

Report

Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond. The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes.

Diamond Buying Tips

Report

Some people want to buy the biggest diamond possible. Is this always the right choice? The larger the diamond, chances are the more inclusions it likely has, and because it's larger, these inclusions are typically even more visible than on a smaller diamond. But most importantly, if the diamond cut isn't proportioned correctly, it won't return the maximum amount of light through the top of the diamond. This illustrates that no matter how large the diamond, its cut and proportions determine how brilliant the diamond really is.

Choosing the Ring

Report

Solitaires are great if you have a stunning singular stone that has been passed down through the generations as an heirloom, many choose to display it in a classic Solitaire setting. This setting generally allows for the maximum amount of sparkle by allowing light to pass in through the bottom sections of the ring.
