Diamond

Diamonds became popular as ornaments in jewelry in the 1400's and the different techniques and styles of diamond cuts such as the Emerald Cut Diamond were gradually developed over many years.

An emerald is definitely one of the most attractive and most popular gemstones all over the world. Colored in bright shiny green color which is so unique that it is simply known as the emerald green, this stone is also one of the most expensive gemstones found in the world today.

The tradition of wearing engagement rings, including those with an Emerald cut diamond, symbolizes the promise of a future together which is sealed with the giving and accepting of a ring.

One of the first things to remember is that, emerald engagement rings and emerald cut diamond engagement rings are completely different things.

An emerald engagement ring is the one made using emerald as the center stone. Whereas, emerald cut engagement rings are diamond rings where the diamond is cut in a square shape (which is a popular shape of emerald).

An emerald cut diamond is distinguished by its rectangular shape and steeped facets. The edges of this cut look like stairs. This cut was originally designed for colored stones, however, its sophisticated look quickly became popular and was brought into the diamond world.

The facets on an Emerald Cut Diamonds are cut in steps, parallel to the edges which could be described as a pyramid with its top chopped off. These diamonds are bright, clear and shiny in appearance as its facets usually cover the length or width of the stone. The style is highly effective, especially in colored stones.

The emerald cut diamond reflects less light than the standard brilliant cuts and needs to be of the highest quality as any inclusions can be visible. An emerald cut diamond engagement rings with the same carat body and also grading as a round brilliant will cost about one thousand dollars less.

Emerald cuts look especially wonderful on long, tapered fingers. If your girl has long slender fingers this cut will enhance the length of her fingers, but if her fingers are shorter then this cut may seem a little disproportionate to her fingers.

Diamond Jewelry

It is a proven fact that girls have a keen fascination for diamonds. Men with romantic hearts express their love for their beloved with diamond engagement rings. Wide range of gemstones decorates precious jewelry sets, but among them diamond holds the limelight. This precious stone is a symbol of romantic emotions and genuine passions.

The buyers should know some key facts about diamonds before picking up a precious jewelry set. Not every glittering stone is of high quality. In the jewelry sector, there are four words (beginning with the letter 'C') that indicate the appeal of a diamond. They are carat, cut, color and clarity. Any jewelry stone should fulfill these four criteria to be regarded as the best quality ornamental accessory.

People opt for costly and precious diamonds as token of love for their near and dear ones. So, they should learn some basic facts to get the real value of the expensive stone. Here lies the importance of 4C's.

Carat

The term 'carat' is associated with the weight of diamond stone. Points compute the carat unit. 1 carat refers to 100 points. 5 carats constitute 1 gram. Since large diamonds are rare to find, the price rises along with increasing carat weight. However, due to variation in cut, two stones of the same carat weight may look different in size.

Cut

Cut plays a crucial role behind hypnotizing looks of the diamonds. The delicate angles control the radiance and brilliance of every gemstone. Round diamonds are generally regarded as the specimen of ideal cut gemstones. Ideal cut serves three basic effects on appearance. They are brilliance, fire and glitter.

Color

Even with naked eyes one can easily identify the appeal of each color. Colored stones should be chosen wisely to match with the wearer's taste and personality. However, colorless or white diamonds are considered as the most attractive options. GIA standard scale categorizes diamonds on a scale of D (colorless) to Z (light color). The color difference between D, E and F varieties can only be detected by trained eyes or gemologists. D-F category diamonds should be used only in platinum or white gold ring settings for best effect.

Clarity

Clarity level controls the flawless aspect of a diamond. GIA defines the clarity level by using 11 point diamond clarity scale. '10x magnification' system considers the size, color, number, reflectivity, and position of every visible flaw while rating the clarity level. Flawless diamonds are extremely rare to find. It is regarded that less than one stone in each 5000 jewelry grade diamonds can be classified in the FL category.

As beauty of diamonds are everlasting, it is crucial to pick the best one to impress your soul mate. Thoroughly checking 4C's is a must to buy a perfect diamond jewelry set.

Diamond

Precious gems are beautiful and they last a long time and they are very valuable. Diamonds in particular shimmer in any kind of light, providing an exquisite treasure. Some people give a piece of diamond jewelry as the sole gem gift a loved one will ever receive. Others add a diamond gift to a long line of precious gems. Before bestowing diamonds as a gift to a loved one, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Diamonds are usually very expensive. If you come across a diamond that is being sold on the cheap, you have to wonder why this is the case. It may mean that the cut is not the best quality or it could have poor point value. Perhaps the gem is even stolen! You have to be careful about where and how you purchase precious jewelry to ensure that you get your money's worth in value. Check with several jewelry stores or diamond dealers. State up front how much money you have to spend and the type of gift you wish to make. The experts can help you make a good choice for what you have to work with.

Diamonds are for grown ups. Children or even teenagers rarely have a proper appreciation for diamonds. Perhaps diamond chip earrings would be an acceptable gift for older teen girls, but more lavish diamond jewelry should be saved for more mature wearers. A diamond necklace, brooch, ring, or bracelet conveys a sense of sophistication that younger women cannot often carry off. Save the gift of diamonds for a special occasion and an older girl.

Diamonds deserve special care. You don’t want to just fling a diamond ring in the jewelry box or leave it lying unprotected on a`dresser top. Preserve the beauty and keep it clean while avoiding scratches by placingdiamond jewelry into velvet-lined boxes or containers. Depending on the size and value of your investment, your diamonds may need to be kept in a safe deposit box or vault at your local bank. You donÂ’t want nosy workers or desperate thieves to make off with your prized possession. You may want to have your diamond priced or valued by an experienced jeweler for home insurance purposes. It also is a good idea to have it cleaned periodically, if needed.

Diamonds are for special occasions. Although they are often given on any occasion like a birthday or holiday, a diamond jewelry item is especially suited to commemorative occasions, such as an engagement or anniversary. Smaller diamond gifts can serve just about any purpose, but the larger, more valuable kind should not be handed off lightly. Give some thought to the meaning of your gift and what your receiver will think (as well as what you want him or her to think) before offering this unique token of affection.

The Romance of Jewelry

"Well," you may ask, "isn't jewelry romantic by it's very nature?"

To some extent this is true, but we wear jewelry for any number of reasons that are not romantic... to look sophisticated, to look professional, to impress our friends and neighbors.

So what about the romance of jewelry?

In this case I'm talking about romance in a broader sense than simply relationships.

Something more like this definition from the dictionary:

"A quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life"

That wonderful fission, that bit of a chill that you get from something that is just, well, more than day to day life.

Romantic jewelry is that jewelry that makes you feel special, different, like a princess or a prince. That jewelry that takes you out of your normal hum drum life each time you put it on. The little something extra that comes of wearing something truly special.

Perhaps that is why gold is such a popular metal for jewelry. I love silver and platinum and there are other metals (titanium comes to mind) that make great jewelry, but there is nothing like the romance of gold. To wear gold is to wear the jewelry of kings and queens. In ancient Egypt only the pharaohs and those especially favored by the pharaohs were permitted to wear gold. This feeling of being special and above the fray has continued to the modern day. If you want to feel like royalty (or if you want to give a gift that says you think of your beloved as a king or queen), gold is the answer.

Other jewels that inspire feelings of romance are pearls, emeralds and rubies... and, of course, for many people, diamonds.

Somehow though diamonds don't seem to have the same warmth and romance as the other stones. Actually diamonds were not historically valued as highly was we do today. Much ofthe romance that has been generated around diamonds is do to de Beers in the early part of the 20th century instituting a brilliant and very effective advertising campaign... so I will leave diamonds for another day.

On the other hand pearls... Pearls feel wonderful against your skin. They are sensuous and mysterious. To look deeply into a fine pearl is to look into eternity. There is also something intriguing about a pearl, knowing that is came not from the cold hard ground, but from an industrious mollusk.

Pearls have been prized in all time periods and all cultures. Historically baroque pearls (large irregularly shaped pearls) were used to make wonderful and fantastic jewelry by embellishing them with gold an gems. Frequently these took the shape of Neptune or other greek gods, sirens, beautiful women and animals. The Canning Jewel in the Victoria and Albert museum is a famous and elaborate use of a baroque as the base for a handsome merman.

Black pearls, particularly Tahitian black pearls have become very popular in recent years. They come in a range of colors from spectacular purples and greens, through pinks to sophisticated browns. All are lovely and the range of colors gives them a great deal of flexibility in choosing just the right pearl for your outfit and mood. The most beautiful black pearl necklace I've seen was from Morrison's a small manufacturing jeweler in Berkeley. The pearls were arranged in a rainbow strung together so that each color melted into the one next to it -- stunning. And of course what could be moreromantic than pearls from Tahiti?

(By the way, if you wear pearls, do wear them against your skin, it is good for them, but be sure that you do not wear any perfume, scent or lotion, at least not where it might contact your pearls.)

Emeralds and rubies are traditionally the emperor and empress of gems. Perhaps it is their vibrant colors that inspired our ancestors. Certainly that vivid blood red and cool serpent green are hard to ignore. Even today emeralds and rubies of equal size and quality are more expensive than equivalent diamonds.

In Victorian times colored gems were used to spell out love messages. Sometimes this made for interesting and not necessarily attractive settings; but it is veryromantic. For instance a piece of jewelry might have these gems in order:

LOVE: Lapis, Opal, Vermeil and Emerald.
REGARD: Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby and Diamond.

The shape of jewelry too can harbor a romantic message. Hearts and clasped hands, hands holding a heart (Claddagh) and cupids are self explanatory, but some shapes are a bit more subtle.

For many cultures, including the Romans and the Victorians, snakes were a symbol of enduring love. A snake biting it's own tail so as to make a circle is a particularly potent symbol of everlasting love. Prince Albert gave Queen Victoria a snake engagement ring -- the beginning of a long and celebrated marriage.

Interestingly lizards and frogs were (and perhaps still are) also symbols of wedded happiness. Perhaps this explains the continuing popularity ofjewelry depicting this wiggly creatures.

Jewelry in the shape of flowers may also be symbolic. To quote Ophelia "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember: and there is pansies. ThatÂ’s for thoughts."

It has long been said that a diamond is a girl's best friend

It has long been said that a diamond is a girl's best friend. If that is the case, then it sets one to wonder how in the world to characterize a handful of loose diamonds. While lustrous and dazzling diamonds are common embellishments for all types of jewelry items from high-end fine jewelry to body jewelry, it is less common to see diamonds unmounted and in their loose form.

It goes hand in hand, no matter what its form may be. The diamond is the most desirable, and the least obtainable, gemstone. The allure to buy comes from the sparkling brilliance of the pure white diamond, but the high price prevents those on a budget from buying, no matter how attractive the stone. Fortunately, purchasing unmounted diamonds can be a good way for people to save some money and possibly afford to buy the rock of their heart's desire.

There are actually many people who believe that it is always best to purchase diamonds, and all other types of precious gems, as loose stones. Purchasing loose diamonds gives the buyer several distinct advantages over buying a finished fine jewelry piece.

One appealing advantage of an unmounted diamond is the lower price that comes with it. It is often less expensive to buy loose or unmounted diamonds than it is to buy those already set. This is simply because the expense for the precious metals used in the setting must also be factored in, even when the reason for the diamond purchase is for the stone and not the setting.

Another reason to consider an unmounted diamond is that it is much easier to assess the quality of the stone when it is not in a setting. Some setting styles can easily conceal flaws on the diamond. Flaws decrease the value of the stone, so it is important to examine the diamond in the best possible manner. You could easily buy a stone of lower quality, if the setting of the diamond is masking or hiding a flaw.

There are four different facets of a diamond used to classify the stone, both for quality and price. By using a jeweler's loupe or a microscope, the characteristics of color, clarity, cut, and carat can be determined with accuracy. Magnification is useful to examining color clarity and the quality of the cut.

Often people choose to buy unmounted diamonds so that they can have them set into the design setting of their choice. This allows for a design that is most desirable to their personal taste, sometimes even custom made, but with a diamond of the highest quality.

There are many cuts of loose diamonds that you can choose from if you want to purchase diamonds for fine jewelry or simply as an investment. The most common shape that you will be able to find is the round brilliant cut. However emerald, princess, baguette, heart, oval, marquise, and radiant cuts are also available.

Diamonds are a type of gemstone which have a beauty all their own

Diamonds are a type of gemstone which have a beauty all their own. Although many may think that these lovely gems come in only the colorless or white variety, this is not the case. Colored diamonds are a popular item these days and no matter what your personal preference may be with regard to diamond colors you are sure to find one which peaks your interest. The following will provide some beneficial characteristics of colored diamonds and help you to determine which diamond colors will suit you best.

The Beauty of Colored Diamonds

Choosing from one of many diamond colors may be a difficult task for some but an easy choice for others. No matter which category you fall within you are certain to find a diamond color which suits your individual style best. There are a few reasons why colored diamonds are so lovely. First, they are unique in nature as most of the diamond buying public still opts for colorless or white diamonds. The uniqueness factor gives the various diamond colors a beauty all their own. Therefore, if you are searching for a gemstone which very few others around you have then buying a colored diamond is a good move.

Another beneficial attribute of various colored diamonds is the preciousness aspect. One who buys diamonds of different colors will find that the price tag on the gemstone will be much higher than with their colorless counterparts. This is a beneficial aspect for those individuals who don't mind paying a higher price for a different type of stone.

Gemstones which are different diamond colors will also reflect light beautifully. Although how well the diamond sparkles and takes in the light will depend on different factors such as carat weight, cut and shape, the vision one will see when viewing their colored diamond in the light is usually quite spectacular.

Which Diamond Colors Are Right For You?

When perusing your options with regard to diamond colors, you may be wondering which diamond color is right for you. In order to make the right decision there are a few factors you can consider such as what colors you often wear, what is popular at the moment, which diamond colors are the most rarest and which ones are most cost efficient. Choosing a diamond color to match your usual attire colors is a good way to ensure that everything matches with your ensemble. Although some may prefer to go with unique diamond colors which will stand out from their daily attire, others may like the idea of having a diamond color to coincide with the color of their outfits.

Some may also prefer to buy a colored diamond which is popular at the moment. Today, the colorless or white diamond still remains the most popular type. However, for those who are searching for a color other than white, the pink and yellow diamonds are quite popular styles of fancy diamonds.

If you are looking for a rare type of diamond color, then a red diamond should be on your list of purchases. However, these diamonds are quite rare and extremely expensive therefore if you truly want a red diamond you will ultimately have to go for a red diamond which is not a deep red tone. For those who want an inexpensive colored diamond, the best choices will be colored stones which are lighter in tone as the deeper the color of diamond the more expensive it usually is.

Diamond Watches

In Spain when men propose marriage to women and receive affirmation, they present them with traditional engagement rings - and then their fiancées often return the honor by presenting their men with diamond watches! Men's diamond watches are a type of men's diamond jewelry that is both practical and attractive. They are a type of designer-luxury item that one would not give every day, but for that once-in-a-lifetime gift that is more than just a bauble, diamond watches are ideal.

Watch History

Clocks and timepieces have been around almost as long as human history, but mechanical clocks are a fairly recent innovation, having come into existence only about 700 years ago. The earliest direct ancestor of today's diamond watches were gear-and-spring driven devices invented in Europe during the 1400s; the first watches were miniature versions of the same device, worn around the neck. As these shrank in size over the next two centuries, they eventually became the traditional pocket watch - an anachronism that many men still use.

The Ladies' Diamond Watch

The first true wristwatches really were diamond watches. These were small timepieces integrated into actual diamond jewelry bracelets for women who were members of European royalty. Although 19th century jeweler Paket Phillipe et Cie is generally credited with creating the first true ladies' diamond watch for Hungarian Countess Kosewitz in 1868, there are references to such "watch bracelets" dating back as far as 1572, when the Earl of Leicester presented Queen Elizabeth I with a round watch, inlaid with diamonds, which was suspended from a wristband. Most historians consider this to be the first ladies' diamond watch.

The Mens' Diamond Watch

Wrist watches were considered effeminate until around 1900; virtually all mens' watches were pocket watches. The invention of heavier-than-air, motorized aircraft in 1903 changed all of that. The year following, French-Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Dumont-Santos found that he needed a timepiece that he could look at without removing his hands from the controls. The result was the first wristwatch for men; these convenient instruments soon superseded wrist watches in terms of popularity.

Diamond Watches Today

Since that time, three companies - one French, one Japanese and one Swiss - are best known for incorporating fine timepieces into diamond jewelry. Those three are Cartier, Citizens, and Movado. The latter company has been making watches for men since the early part of the last century; today, there are nearly 200 different models of mens' and ladies' diamond watches to choose from, many of which are among the finest diamond watches available on the market today.

Jewelry Tops Wish Lists For Mother's Day

Mother's Day is just around the corner, so it's time to start thinking about what you will give that special woman in your life. Mother's Day gifts can run the gamut, from handmade treasures to kitchen knives, from electronics to leather goods. You can be sure that she'll cherish whatever you choose, but the chances are good that jewelry tops her wish list.

Obviously, each woman's taste in jewelry is different. Some women never leave the house without a full complement of accessories, while others stick to the basics, like a watch and earrings. Here are some ideas for great Mother's Day jewelry gifts:

Earrings

You can't go wrong if you select diamond earrings. Today, the trend is small diamonds set in white gold hoops, although solitaire button earrings are also popular. For a sentimental twist, you can select diamonds that radiate out from gold hearts.

Pearl earrings are almost always a hit, whether they're set as a single pearl in a drop earring or several pearls in a vertical band. You can even go the exotic route and buy your mother a pair of earrings featuring rare and coveted black pearls (also known as Tahitian pearls). Better yet, buy earrings that incorporate both diamonds and pearls!

Pendants

Pendants make wonderful Mother's Day gifts. Set in white or yellow gold, the stone in a pendant can represent your mother's birth month or the birthday months of her children. As a reminder, the birthstones are: January - garnet; February - amethyst; March - aquamarine; April - diamond; May - emerald; June - moonstone; July - ruby; August - peridot; September - sapphire; October - opal; November - topaz; and December - turquoise.

Watches

Fine watches are beautiful gifts, but if your mother is active and enjoys the outdoors, you may want to consider different type of watch. For example, she may enjoy a clip on watch that she can attach to a backpack, gym bag, or runner's pack. She could even hook it to a belt loop when she takes her pets out for a walk.

Jewelry Sets

There are many different kinds of jewelry sets, each of which would make a treasured gift. For example, you can purchase an earring and necklace set, or select a baby pearl necklace and matching bracelet. Another possibility is a pin or pendant with matching earrings.

Other Wonderful Gifts

If your mother isn't the type who wears a lot of jewelry, there is a wealth of other gift possibilities. For example, she may welcome personal electronics, like an MP3 player, an iPod, or a DVD player. If she enjoys clothing, she might love a beautiful lingerie set or a leather garment. Perhaps she'd like housewares, such as kitchen knives or a new set of mixing bowls.

Where to Shop

Your best bet for finding a wide selection of jewelry and other Mother's Day gifts is an online shopping mall. An online mall has the advantage of having thousands (or tens of thousands) of products, and you can often find bargain prices that are close to wholesale. Best of all, this kind of one-stop shopping site can dropship, meaning that the items you order are shipped directly from the supplier. This dramatically cuts down shipping time, and ensures that your Mother's Day gifts will be delivered to your door safely and quickly.
