QUALITY CERTIFICATE OF MIMÍKOKÓ JEWELRY

Todas las joyas MIMÍKOKÓ van acompañadas de un certificado de calidad que garantiza que están elaboradas en oro de Primera Ley de 750 milésimas, equivalente a oro de 18 kilates, u oro de 9 kilates, equivalente a 375 milésimas, cumpliendo todos los requisitos legales según el Real Decreto 197-1998 de la normativa española de objetos fabricados con metales preciosos. Esto se refleja de forma física en nuestras piezas mediante el contraste establecido por dicha normativa a través de un punzón realizado por un laboratorio oficial. En él debe figurar la “Ley” de la aleación (750 o 375 milésimas), que se corresponde con la proporción de metal precioso puro en la aleación. Con cada joya que elaboramos expedimos un certificado físico garantizando la calidad y pureza del oro con el que hemos trabajado en el taller para elaborar la pieza.

QUALITY CERTIFICATE FOR DIAMOND JEWELRY

En MIMÍKOKÓ, tanto Alejandro como Alberto somos expertos gemólogos diplomados por el Instituto Gemológico Español y también ofrecemos a nuestros clientes un certificado de calidad aparte para aquellas joyas que lleven diamantes. En él se describen las características de los diamantes basadas en su pureza, peso, talla y color, las conocidas 4 C’s por sus siglas en inglés: colour, clarity, cut and carats.
Todos nuestros diamantes naturales tienen una excelente relación calidad-precio y cumplen las condiciones del “Tratado de Kimberley”, que es el sistema de certificación para el comercio internacional de los diamantes no procedentes de países en conflicto.

Below, we briefly explain each of the 4 C’s and indicate the characteristics of diamonds that we sell at MIMÍKOKÓ:

  • 1. COLOR: the color grade directly affects the appearance of the stone and is influenced by the atomic structure of the diamond, composed of carbon and, in some cases, a very small amount of nitrogen.
  • We offer diamonds with a G or H color, considered white or nearly colorless and having a very slight warmth in tone that is very difficult to detect with the naked eye. They are diamonds of great value.
  • 2. CUT: a well-proportioned cut reflects light from one facet to another and produces a dispersion of brilliance through the top.
  • All our diamonds are cut in brilliant cut (round) and it is the most popular cut and the one that achieves the most intense brilliance from diamonds.
  • 3. CLARITY: Almost all diamonds contain tiny traces of non-crystallized carbon called inclusions, which makes each stone have its own DNA. Most are not visible to the naked eye and can only be seen with a ten-power magnifying glass and do not affect the beauty of the diamond at all. However, the cleaner they are, the more exceptional their quality and value will be. 
  • The purity of the diamonds we offer at MIMÍKOKÓ are VS1, VS2, and SI1. They are characterized by having one or several small inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye and can only be located, often with difficulty, using a 10x magnifying loupe. These diamonds are an excellent choice as they are considered free of inclusions visible to the naked eye and are less expensive than the VVS categories.
  • 4. WEIGHT: The weight of the diamond is measured in carats. One carat is divided into 100 points. So a 50-point diamond weighs 0.50 carats. One carat equals 0.200 grams. Therefore, a 5-carat diamond will weigh one gram.
