It is important when choosing a diamond to rely on an expert for advice .... Maurice Correia has the experience and knowledge to provide such advice. A diamond-cutter by profession, Maurice Correia left his family's gold and diamond mining business in Guyana, South America, and moved to Barbados. He trained with the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GIA), where he was awarded the Diamond Certificate, and then opened his own family run jewellery store ... Correia's Jewellery.
Maurice Correia's experience as a diamond-cutter combined with his vast knowledge of the 6 C's - the characteristics used to determine the quality of a diamond - is priceless. He says "To determine the hidden beauty and brilliance of a diamond it is vital that the diamond is cut and polished with great delicacy and precision. A diamond which is cut with excellence is more valuable than one that is not."
