TW stands for 'total weight'. When you add up all of the diamonds on a piece of jewellery or in a set, this equals the total weight.

A carat is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, as well as the purity of gold.
When referring to rose, white or yellow gold, the number of carats tells you how much metal is in a particular piece, as a percentage. Pure gold, for example, is designated 24 Karat , while 9 Karat gold is around 37.5 per cent gold.
We make it easy for you to tell whether we are talking about diamond carats or gold carats - K will always be spelled out when referring to a Gold, while 'ct' will be used for diamonds.

Cultured Meaning (The Process) Cultured pearls are not natural accidents; they are cultivated. A technician inserts an irritant (tissue fragment) into a mollusk to start the pearl-forming process. This makes them authentic pearls created by human initiative, rather than rare, accidental finds.
Freshwater Meaning (The Source): These pearls are grown in freshwater mussels, usually in China. Unlike saltwater pearls (like Akoya) that often use a hard bead nucleus, freshwater pearls are often composed entirely of nacre, making them more durable and resistant to wear.
