Diamonds Are Forever

Perhaps no other gemstone has incited people’s imagination more than diamonds. For hundreds of years, diamonds have been associated with beauty, style and wealth. There are myriads of options when it comes to diamond jewelry. From diamond rings and earrings, to bracelets and necklaces, diamond jewelry comes in all styles, sizes, shapes, cuts and settings.

Offering someone a diamond is regarded as a supreme sign of love and appreciation. Diamonds accompany the most important events in people’s lives, such as engagements, weddings, or other meaningful anniversaries. Diamonds are loved by both men and women, but, of course, ladies have more choices when it comes to diamond jewelry.

Diamonds and precious metals go hand in hand. The most popular metals used in diamond jewelry making are gold, whether yellow or white, and platinum. That’s because their color enhances the natural brilliance of this stone, which is brought to life through the craftsmanship of skillful jewelers, who cut and set it in ways that best complement its radiance and sparkle. Diamonds are also combined with other gemstones in exquisite pieces of jewelry that are meant to add to the wearer’s beauty.

This strong, beautiful stone is widely appreciated because of its unique qualities and versatility. It can be matched with all kind of styles, from simple and classy to the most sophisticated and glamorous. Indeed, diamonds are forever. They are unbreakable as the etymology of their name indicates. Although the scale of mineral hardness was introduced only in the 19th century, people realized that the diamond was the hardest mineral on our planet since ancient times.

Diamonds travel a long way from the depths of the Earth until they are brought to light and transformed into jewelry. They are formed deep down under the Earth’s surface, at depths that range from 90 to120 miles. The physical properties of this gemstone, particularly its hardness and brilliance, have turned it into a symbol of eternal love and commitment. Diamond jewelry is a great gift which will surely impress and delight the recipient, allowing you to express your feelings for your loved one in a special way.

Stud Earrings
Diamond stud earrings are small and elegant. For someone who loves simplicity and adopts a ‘less is more style’, they are the perfect choice. Extremely versatile, they can be matched with most outfits, without losing their appeal.

Diamond Drop Earrings
They come in variable lengths and designs, and can combine diamonds with other gemstones. Drop earrings are feminine and can add a sense of sophistication to any look.

Diamond Chandelier Earrings
Resembling a chandelier, hence the name, this type of diamond earrings cascades in multiple stone levels. They are elegant and bold, representing the perfect fit for more special occasions and attire.

Diamond Hoop Earrings
Hoops reached their peak in the 1980s, but they’re making a strong comeback these days, as more and more women choose to wear them. Diamond hoop earrings come in various sizes and styles. They can be thin or thicker, larger or smaller. They’re trendy and elegant, and match well with many other accessories. The number of diamonds used on hoop earrings may vary, just as their size and setting. Each detail is important and creates a different effect in terms of design and brilliance.

Diamond Huggie Earrings
These are smaller and thicker hoops that surround or hug–which explains their name–the earlobe.

When choosing diamond earrings, it is important to think about the style of the wearer and face shape. For instance, longer earrings, such as drop or chandelier, tend to elongate the face.

Diamond Pendants and Necklaces

Pendants are jewelry pieces which are usually included in a larger jewelry item, such as a necklace. Diamond pendants add value and make a jewelry piece more appealing. If you want to offer someone a pendant for a necklace, you need to consider the length of the chain. How do you want it to hang: higher or lower? That’s what you need to ask yourself to make sure you get the desired effect. You can choose between several types of necklace chains, including choker, princess and opera. Choker chains are shorter, and make the diamond pendant hang closer to the collarbone. Princess chains are longer, and reach below the collarbone. Opera chains are the longest, and they are meant to be worn over clothes.

Diamond Bracelets

Diamond bracelets add style and distinction, and they can be combined in endless ways to achieve varied and surprising effects. You can wear one or more diamond bracelets, or you can mix them with other kinds of bracelets to highlight them. There are several types of diamond bracelets, including bangles, tennis and charm bracelets.

Diamond Bangles
These bracelets are basically bigger hoops which preserve their shape; they are not flexible like other types of bracelets. They are made of precious metals onto which diamonds are mounted. Diamonds can cover the entire surface of the bracelet or only part of it.

Diamond Charms
These bracelets comprise a number of metal links, onto which diamond charms are attached. There are countless types of diamond charms. Some of the most popular are flowers, animals, hearts or initials. Diamonds make the bracelet stand out, adding a sense of beauty and glamour.

Diamond Tennis Bracelets
Initially named line bracelets due to the way diamonds are arranged, they have come to be known as tennis bracelets, after the line bracelet worn by a famous tennis player during a match, broke, and diamonds scattered on the court.
