Today despite the variety of earrings available, Diamond earrings remain among the...Read More

A recent study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has revealed that the earth’s crust contains quadrillions of Diamonds – about a thousand times more than what scientists initially estimated. So what does this mean for Diamond mining? Not much at this point, because these Diamonds are down so far into the earth’s mantle that they’re unable to be retrieved. That’s because researchers estimate the Diamonds are located between 90 to 150 miles beneath the earth’s surface. Currently, the deepest mine in the world can only reach approximately 1/3 of a mile below the earth’s surface! The MIT team used...Read More

If you are shopping for Diamonds, there are probably more than a few terms you’ve never heard before. But while you may not think it’s that big of a deal to not know their meanings, when it comes to buying Diamonds, the more you know, the better. Here is a glossary of some common Diamond-related terms you may encounter during your purchase! Girdle: The girdle of a Diamond is the Diamond’s perimeter, which divides the pavilion from the top of the Diamond, the crown. The girdle is generally where the prongs on a ring sit, and there are ideal girdle...Read More

With so many synthetic Diamonds beginning to flood the marketplace, Diamond experts are calling for a better system to track and verify authentic Diamonds. That’s where the startup BitCarat steps in. BitCarat is a blockchain system which aims to track a Diamond from the mine and each step along the way- from being cut to its final stop adorning its owner. This system would track every change to the Diamond’s record, and would thus be impossible to falsify. Experts hope this new system will assign a code and allow a permanent record for Diamonds, and would not track fake or...Read More

Do you want to breathe new life into your Diamond rings? A timeless look that’s catching fire right now is the stacking trend. What is the stacking trend, exactly? Well, it’s stacking layers of rings on the same finger to create an entirely new look!     The fun in stacking is that you don’t have to stick to the same style: you can mix Diamond shapes, colors and sizes, or even metals. Dress up a dainty round brilliant eternity band with a row of rose gold princesses. That emerald cut white gold anniversary band would look amazing with a...Read More

  There’s a term you may have heard of when discussing Diamonds. That term is the “girdle” of the diamond, or the perimeter that separates the top of the Diamond (known as the crown) and the bottom (known as the pavilion). Though the girdle of a Diamond may not affect the Diamond’s appearance, it can throw off the Diamond’s symmetry, making it worth less than it could be. Furthermore, depending on the width of the girdle, the Diamond may or may be less prone to damage. There are six girdle measurement ratings, ranging from “extremely thin” to “extremely thick.” They...Read More

A rare, naturally-occurring heart-shaped Diamond was recently found in Russia- on the day before Valentine’s Day, no less. The 65.7 carat Diamond is rare not just for its enormous size, but because heart shaped Diamonds rarely occur in nature. The most commonly occurring Diamond shape is the octahedron. The heart-shaped Diamond is now being analyzed to determine the best way to cut it.

Proposing to a potential bride with a Diamond ring is a tradition long thought to be started by a 1930’s advertising campaign, however the tradition dates back much further. It is believed to have started centuries ago, when men used to attach rings on strings attached to keys to indicate a woman was his property.  Thankfully, that tradition has ended, but the tradition of presenting a partner with a Diamond lives on. The advent of the Diamond ring is believed to have begun in 1477 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria presented a Diamond to Mary of Burgundy.  Soon, a trend...Read More

  If you are in the market for Diamonds, you may have heard the term “triple-x rating” when referring to a Diamond, but you may not understand what this rating means.  Triple-x is the shortened version of “triple excellent,” or in other words, a Diamond which is considered excellent in cut, symmetry and polish. It is important to note that even if a Diamond has earned a XXX rating, there is more to consider than just that triple-excellence rating.  To truly invest in the best Diamond for your money, you must take all “4C’s” into consideration when selecting a Diamond...Read More

            The Diamond tennis bracelet is probably one of – if not the- most famous types of bracelets. But do you know the fascinating history behind these beautiful wrist adornments?  Here’s a brief look into the story behind how the tennis bracelet became the tennis bracelet. It all started in 1987, during the US Tennis Championships. Tennis superstar Chris Evert was playing a match and called for a time out when her diamond bracelet fell off her wrist and onto the court. Evert requested time to locate the bracelet, which fell off because it did...Read More

According to a recent report by Barron’s, colored Diamonds will be sound investments in 2019.  Colored diamonds, or ‘fancy’ diamonds as they are sometimes known, are naturally-occurring colored stones which have been found in an array of unique colors, such as blues, yellows, greens and pinks. These rare gems have recently made headlines thanks to record-sales at some very high-profile auction houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s. According to the article, pink diamonds especially are expected to increase in value and demand as the world’s foremost pink diamond mine, the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia will be closing by 2020. ...Read More

  When most people think of buying Diamonds, carat weight is what they think of first. In fact, many people think the higher the carat weight, the better. Unfortunately this isn’t always true, as very flawed and off-color stones can have a high carat weight and cost far less than a nearly flawless stone with a lower carat weight. Carat weight got its name from the carob seed, which used to be used as a guide to tell how big a Diamond was. Today, we don’t use carob seeds to measure carat weight anymore, but we still use the term...Read More

When it comes to the 4C’s of Diamond cutting, the cut of a Diamond is arguably the most important “C” affecting the look of a Diamond. The cut of a Diamond has seven main components: Brightness: the light reflected from the Diamond Fire: light dispersion Scintillation: pattern of light Weight ratio Durability Polish Symmetry: symmetry of Diamond     These are determined by how well the Diamond is cut- NOT- by the shape it is cut to, as many people believe. A well cut stone can affect the value of a Diamond dramatically, no matter the carat weight, color or...Read More
