DIAMOND LAND

Each diamond shape has a meaning and style derived from its history and form. A round brilliant cut for example is the classical choice for those who like tradition. If you want to stand out and don’t mind some glamour, then the emerald diamond cut might be a far better fit!

Diamond quality is extremely important in choosing the perfect diamond jewellery. Not only will it have a significant impact on the price and value of the rings, pendants or earrings, it will also largely define their beauty. 

The primary source of information on diamond quality is a certificate. Diamond certificates show a great deal of information on your precious stone so you’re certain of its value. You should avoid diamond jewellery without a certificate, not only is the quality uncertain but the origin of the diamond may be in question as well. Buying diamonds from conflict areas can be considered immoral and will limit your options to sell the diamond.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and we can’t deny they’re often quite fond of pink as well; the combination of the two is thus a favourite of many girls. This is illustrated by the various celebrities that buy pink diamond engagement rings for their fiancées.

David Beckham and Ben Affleck are just two examples of celebrities that have given pink diamonds to fiancées. Victoria Beckham received a 10 carat pink diamond ring with matching earrings while Jennifer Lopez received a 6 carat pink engagement ring from Ben Affleck. These engagement rings are worth several million dollars due to the rarity of pink diamonds.

There are a few collectors who compete for the most precious diamonds in the world; one of the most famous diamond collectors is Laurence Graff. He owns several amazing coloured diamonds the most impressive of which also bear his last name: the Graff Pink diamond and the Wittelsbach-Graff diamond.

A certificate is the most important factor in defining the value of a gemstone. A diamond certificate is issued by independent institutes like the Diamond High Council (HRD) International Gemological Institute (IGI) and the international GIA.

The certificate is usually built around the 4 C's: clarity, colour, carat weight and cut, but you can also get more detailed reports when necessary.

You might have heard of the four C’s that define the value of a diamond: colour, carat, cut and clarity. Of these four elements clarity is the least obvious to the untrained eye.

You have decided to buy a diamond? Before rushing to the store, keep some things in mind! You don’t just buy a diamond before doing some homework. You don’t buy everyday loose diamonds for a rind, bracelet or necklace. Loose diamond stones are perfect to create diamond jewellery. Most people take their time to choose the perfect diamond.
