THE KORKEILA HELSINKI DIAMOND GUIDE
A Curated Guide to the brilliance of diamonds
Our diamonds are a story shaped by nature, refined by human hands, and chosen with emotion. The Korkeila Helsinki Diamond Guide serves to help you understand what gives a diamond its beauty and value. We highlight the different facets of a diamond’s character which, when viewed together, form a complete picture of excellence, rarity, and personal expression.
Together, the 4Cs offer a language through which a diamond’s story is told — but no grading report can capture the full essence of a stone. That’s why we combine expert knowledge with personal guidance, helping you discover a diamond that reflects not only quality, but you — your style, your story, your values.
CARAT
Carat refers to a diamond’s weight, a measure often associated with impact, presence, and luxury. One carat equals 200 milligrams, but the perception of size is influenced by the diamond’s shape and cut. While larger stones are rarer and often more valuable, size alone does not define a diamond’s beauty. At Korkeila Helsinki, we believe a well-balanced diamond — one that harmonizes carat weight with exceptional cut and proportion — has far more lasting elegance than weight alone can offer. Each diamond is chosen not only for its scale, but for how gracefully it sits in its setting, and how it speaks to the wearer’s individuality.
