Diamonds

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man and are billions of years old. Their rarity, beauty, and the immense skill required to release their extraordinary brilliance, makes diamonds unlike any other jewel in the world. Diamonds are worn by people as potent symbols - of love, devotion, pride, wealth and power. Around 75% of certified diamonds sold in the world today are round brilliant cut diamonds, although fancy shapes of diamonds such as princess cut diamonds, emerald cut diamonds, pear cut diamonds, marquise cut diamonds, oval cut diamonds and heart cut diamonds are becoming increasingly popular today. Due to their beauty and value, therefore, high quality diamonds, make the perfect gift for that special, life occasion.

Diamond Engagement Rings

Diamond engagement rings are the ultimate symbol of love. From classic solitaire diamond engagement rings to more elaborate trilogy rings and multi-stone diamond engagement rings, the range of diamond engagement rings available on the market today is extensive. Traditionally using either claw settings or more modern, contemporary rub-over settings, ladies diamond engagement rings have to be both aesthetically pleasing to the eye and robust in design, so it is imperative that designers strike this balance with diamond engagement rings as they are normally worn on a daily basis. Round brilliant cut diamond engagement rings have always been, and continue to be, the most popular of all, with princess cut diamond engagement rings and other shapes of certified diamond engagement rings also continuing to flourish in popularity. Diamond engagement rings will typically be accompanied by an independent diamond grading certificate and also an independent appraisal and valuation, depending upon individual diamond retailers.

Diamond Rings

The romantic tradition of giving diamond rings as tokens of love and commitment began in the 15th Century when the Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring on their engagement. Providing the ultimate symbol of love between 2 people, diamond rings will forever be eternal. The range of certified diamond rings available in the market today is extensive, with an array of different designs, sizes and qualities of diamonds, and prices to suit all tastes and budgets.

Diamond Jewellery

Over time, only a few diamonds survive their fantastic journey from their humble beginning several billion years ago. Even fewer are discovered, and even fewer are suitable to be made into high quality diamond jewellery. When producing diamond jewellery, modern designers often overlook the fact that the diamonds are the most beautiful and important element of design, and not the metal. Diamond jewellery can range from simple diamond solitaire rings, through to elaborate diamond necklaces ... all inspired by nature itself. When buying diamond jewellery, consumers should be aware of the 4Cs of diamonds which is the international diamond grading system used across the world today to grade the quality of diamonds in all pieces of diamond jewellery. Self-education in the subject of diamonds is a worthwhile exercise before embarking on purchasing any diamond jewellery. Diamond Jewellery

Diamond Pendants

As they are worn close to the heart, diamond pendants were originally thought to attract love and provide the ultimate accessory to any outfit. Ranging from simple solitaire diamond pendants through to more elaborate trilogy and drop diamond pendants, nothing catches the eye more than these fantastic pieces of high quality diamond jewellery. Diamond pendants also make a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas. The most popular of all ladies diamond pendants are solitaire diamond pendants which contain single diamonds, most often in claw settings or rub-over settings, both of which are designed to display the diamonds to their maximum beauty, although diamond pendants which display a multitude of diamonds are also increasing in popularity.

Diamond Earrings

Diamond earrings make a wonderful gift for any occasion. Whilst many different styles are available today ranging from trilogy and drop diamond earrings through to modern and contemporary styles, it is often the simple solitaire stud diamond earrings which provide the most stunning and dramatic impression. When in the market for certified diamond earrings, consumers should be aware that diamond earrings are advertised according to their total weight of diamonds rather than individual pieces. In other words, if a pair of high quality diamond earrings is advertised as having half a carat total weight of diamonds, then this means there is a quarter carat total weight of diamonds in each ear.

Diamond Necklaces

Diamond necklaces are typically elaborate in design, and are the perfect compliment to that evening dress. Choosing just the style to suit her from the many diamond necklaces available nowadays provides the perfect opportunity to impress. What better way of expressing your love than with diamond necklaces? High quality diamond necklaces typically contain a large quantity of quality diamonds, so the scintillation, sparkle and brilliance from these high quality diamond necklaces is second to none.

Diamond Bracelets

Diamond bracelets are simple in design, and stunning and elegant in finish. Diamond tennis bracelets gained notoriety when Chris Evert famously dropped one of her diamond bracelets on centre court. Many other different styles are also available, making diamond bracelets an excellent choice for a birthday, anniversary or Christmas gift. Due to the fact that diamond bracelets typically contain a large quantity of diamonds, consumers will find that high quality diamond bracelets are generally accompanied by a single diamond grading certificate of Certificate of Authenticity confirming the total weight and quality of diamonds rather than each of the diamonds being individually certified.

Engagement Rings

Engagement rings are traditionally given from man to woman, symbolizing a proposal of marriage and subsequent engagement. High quality diamonds, due to both their inherent beauty and value, are the perfect gem to set into engagement rings. Whether consumers seek solitaire engagement rings or multi-stone engagement rings, there is an endless range of ladies engagement rings to choose from on the market today. Many consumers also have their engagement rings engraved, therefore making an already personal item of jewellery even more personal. This is a service which many diamond specialists will carry out at minimal or no cost.

Diamond Eternity Rings

Diamond eternity rings reflect the love between two people and are often given from man to wife upon the birth of their first child. Diamond eternity rings are either half or full diamond eternity rings, and are either claw set or channel set. In other words, the diamonds are either held in place by two or more prongs, or alternatively the diamonds are flush set alongside each other set within strips of metal each side to hold them in place. Diamond eternity rings typically use round brilliant cut diamonds or princess cut diamonds, although more shapes of diamonds are becoming increasingly popular such as baguette cut diamond eternity rings, for example, as today’s diamond jewellery consumers seek unique and modern design in their high quality diamond jewellery purchases.
