We Provide
Information and buyer/seller Resources on the following diamonds:
Origin of Diamonds:
Diamonds are mined in Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, Guinea, Sierra
Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Central African Republic, Tanzania,
China, Indonesia and India. Diamonds are cut in many countries,
but the major cutting centers are in New York, Antwerp, Tel
Aviv and Bombay.
Special
& Rare Diamonds:
Although the presence of color makes a diamond less rare and
valuable, some diamonds come out of the ground in vivid "fancy"
colors--well-defined reds, blues, pinks, greens, and bright
yellows. These are highly prized and extremely rare.
Larger
diamonds are found relatively infrequently in nature, which
puts them at the rarest level of the Diamond Quality Pyramid.
For example, fewer than one percent of women will ever own
a diamond weighing one or more carats.
Diamonds
Become Popular:
Settings were elaborate and did not necessarily show the diamond
in its "best light." Royal patronage encouraged
goldsmiths to reach a peak of perfection, but it actually
wasn't until the discovery of diamond mines on the African
continent in 1870 that diamonds became accessible to a wider
public, increasing demand and influencing design. Modern materials
made way for the design to concentrate on enhancing the diamond's
brilliance within the setting.
Diamond
Shapes:
There are traditional and contemporary setting variations
for diamond engagement rings, but generally speaking there
are six diamond shapes: round brilliant-cut, marquise, emerald-cut,
pear-shaped, oval and heart-shaped. More than 75% of all diamonds
sold are round stones.
We
Also Have Tips and Tricks For Care And Cleaning of Your Diamond:
While a diamond will last forever, it is important to learn
about the care and cleaning of a diamond to ensure its brilliance.
Visiting your jeweler a minimum of once a year is highly recommended.
Professional cleaning is the best option and it's important
to have your jewelry checked occasionally to make sure prongs
haven't bent or weakened. Clean diamonds add sparkle to your
jewelry.
Diamonds
Are Important As They Say LOVE:
Tying the knot is one of the single most celebrated events
in a person's life. The instant two people decide to marry
is probably the most intimate and important moment of their
lives - the peak of their romance. Families, friends, neighbors
and acquaintances gather to shower a newly engaged couple
with enthusiasm and gifts. What would a wife be without her
"very own diamond?" It says "LOVE" better
than anything.
