Enhancement

Enhancement is the unnatural treatment of a gemstone  in order to alter it's colour or clarity.  Treatments include fracture-filling, high pressure-high temperature (HPHT), laser drilling, coating, and irradiation. 

John Brereton Jewellers endeavor to only work with diamonds of natural colour and clarity.
