The diamond is the most important part of the ring and no two are exactly alike. The value and price depends on four factors. Clarity, color, cut, and carat weight. A diamond weight is expressed in carats with 100 points to a carat. Cut is also very important. A properly cut stone shines with a fire and brilliance, the likes of which are not seen in any other precious stone. Color also plays an important role in determining the price of the stone. The nearer a stone gets to being colorless, the greater its value. The final factor affecting price is clarity. Most stones contain natural imperfections.

Tucked into a storied Parisian mansion on place des Etats-Unis, this luxury destination carries the weight of decades spent as a gathering place for creative minds.

When the opportunity arose to plant roots here, Philippe Starck embraced the challenge with uninhibited vision, transforming the residence into something that marries historical grandeur with unexpected flourishes. Winter visitors find the mansion's gilt details and crystal-laden rooms particularly enchanting, their sparkle amplified by the pale northern light filtering through tall windows, while the marble halls echo with the same artistic energy that once animated its most celebrated era.
