The lustre of
diamond jewellery is unmistakable and never goes unnoticed at a party, event or
occasion! Formed at depths of 90-240 miles below the earth’s crust, diamonds
take billions of year to form under heat and pressure. Diamond is the hardest
substance on the earth so it isn’t so surprising why the term ‘diamonds are
forever’ was coined. Yes, diamonds last forever and have come to represent
eternal love.
The Romans
used diamond rings as a symbol of their commitment during ancient history.
Diamond rings were specifically worn on the left hand on the third finger
because it was their belief that the vein from this finger goes right up to the
heart. Large diamonds were so rare that they were only associated with the
rich, upper class or royalty.
In fact, diamonds
are still so rare that one-carat good quality stone could need the processing
of 250 tons of ore from a mine. Nearly 80% of diamonds extracted from ores are
industrial variety and not suitable for jewellery.
Diamond jewellery is the first choice of
gift for wedding, engagement, or anniversaries! When you gift a piece of
diamond jewellery, you know you are gifting something incredibly precious
created by nature over billions of years. Although having immense monetary
value, diamonds together with their rich history, long-lasting qualities,
brilliance and lustre do make for an outstanding gift.
The jewellers
with the help of experimentation on various cuts and styles, new cutting
techniques and modern jewellery making tools now offer the best in diamond
jewellery. You are spoilt for choice with the many designs available because
diamond jewellery today has a greater quality of visual appeal, sparkle and
presentation.
The first
visible factor for any diamond is its size and is priced accordingly. The next
is the colour as usually diamonds are completely colourless, but sometimes they
come in all shades like pink, blue, yellow, brown, etc. The cut gives the
diamond its intensity and brilliance and the one that has a great quality
finish, symmetry, polish and proportion are really pricey. To put it simply as
experts say, the four C’s of a diamond are very important colour, cut, clarity
and carat.
Crafting
diamond jewellery is a complex and skilful task and a master craftsman needs
years of training and practice to perfect it. Dating back to thousands of year,
today diamond jewellery is created by master craftsmen with the latest
techniques and technologies and set in different precious metals like platinum
and gold. Platinum is now the first choice as like the diamonds, it is a very
hard and durable metal.
When you are
about to purchase diamond jewellery it would be best if you did your research
ahead of time. Occasions are time for celebrations and everybody is curious
regarding the gift as it depends on how spectacular your occasion is. If you
truly wish to make a grand impression with your gift, there could be nothing
better than diamond jewellery.
If there
isn’t any upcoming occasion, there is no need to wait for one! With diamonds,
sometimes the gift itself becomes a special cause for celebration. For example,
you can gift your wife a diamond ring to express how special she is. The gift
could also be for your mom’s birthday showing her the appreciation for all her
efforts. Diamond jewellery surely makes for a memorable, exciting and
impressive gift for just about anyone!
