Keep cherished memories that come with the brightest stars alive forever. At
C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons, diamonds are unsurpassed in brilliance, quality and style, so they become eternal. Our shrine is the perfect place for you to find your perfect diamond.

From completely colorless to slightly yellow, to brown, these heavenly stars are naturally found in a wide spectrum of hues. They are graded on a colour scale which ranges from a purely colourless D to Z. A truly colourless diamond is treasured for its rarity. Its true colour can be seen when free of any setting which may infuse tints of colour into the diamond.

The word carat actually comes from the word carob (from carob seeds), which was how ancient civilisations measured the weight of diamonds on their scales. Today, 'Carat' is a unit by which a diamond's weight is measured. Each Carat is divided into 100 parts called 'points'. So a 1-carat diamond has 100 points, a ¾ carat has 75 points and so forth.

However, a carat is not a measure of a diamond's size, since cutting a diamond to different proportions can affect its weight.

While nature determines a diamond’s colour, clarity and carat, the hand of a master craftsman is needed to release its fire and beauty. The cut gives each diamond its unique sparkle and brilliance by allowing the maximum amount of light to enter. It is the closest you will ever get to a star, some say, to the cosmic power of pushing back the ocean, a sheet of white paper, a small digital scale, a clear glass plate, stones so dense they slow the speed of light by one-third. A well cut diamond does not allow any light to escape offering the greatest brilliance.
