Diamonds symbolize love, commitment and friendship, which makes it hard to choose the right piece of jewelry from the large variety of Diamond rings, Diamond earrings, Diamond pendants, Diamond necklaces, Diamond bracelets and of course Loose diamonds- which are always perfect since they can be set in any type of jewelry.

We can’t choose the perfect diamond jewelry for you but we can help you with 5 easy steps:

Step 1- Knowing what she likes:

Narrow down the type of jewelry she likes to wear by observing the jewelry she wears in general, and on different occasions. The jewelry she wears may vary. For example, her daytime jewelry may be different from the jewelry she wears when she goes out or to formal occasions.

Step 2- Knowing the color and size of the jewelry she wears:

Now that you have noticed the type of jewelry that she likes, it’s time to look closely at the details of her jewelry style. The first thing you should check is if she likes White gold, Yellow gold or Rose gold. You should also check if she prefers conservative or flashy jewelry. For example, her earrings. Are they small and conservative like studs or are the big and detailed like chandelier or hoop earrings.

Choosing Jewlery

People have enjoyed jewelry throughout history. It has been given as gifts and as a symbol of relationships. It is not only a beautiful accessory, it helps identify a person. Jewelry can be a very expensive investment so making a wise decision on your jewelry purchase is important to make sure the jewelry is of a good quality and (most importantly) that the recipient is happy.

How to select diamonds

When you're selecting diamonds there are four things that diamonds are measured on. These are called the 4 C's of diamonds:

Cut. This refers to the shape of the diamond, which will determine how much it sparkles when the light hits it. Carat. This is how big the diamond is. Clarity. This measures how clear the diamond is. That is, if it has flaws (called inclusions) or not. Color. This is the measurement of how white or yellow a diamond is.

Caring for your jewelry

Taking care of your jewelry is just as important as the decisions you made when you went to purchase it. For example, be sure to keep it clean as dirt will gouge the jewelry. Clean it very carefully with a soft cloth, or get it professionally cleaned at a jewelry store. Having clean jewelry is very important for its longevity but also, since jewelry is often worn on some of the most sensitive parts of the body, dirty jewelry can cause irritation.

Keeping your jewelry safe

Store your jewelry in a safe place. For example, you may want to buy a safe, or utilize a hidden safe which looks like a household product (like a soda can or a jar of cleaner) but has a secret compartment which thieves might not be likely to look in. Or, if you are jewelry is highly valued, you may want to even keep it in a security box at a bank.

Jewelry is an important investment in style and in your relationship! Buying jewelry wisely and keeping it clean and well maintained will help it hold its beauty and value for your lifetime and allow it to be a legacy to your children.

Diamond Jewelry

Diamond is the queen of precious stones. It is known for its flawless nature and is rare. Diamond has a broad color range and a very low reactivity towards chemicals. It is a good conductor of heat and insulator of electricity.

The sparkling diamond is just another form of dark carbon. Diamonds are available in more shapes than any other gem. "Carat" is the unit to measure the weight and size of diamonds. The deciding factors while purchasing diamond jewelry are its carat, cut, clarity and color. Diamonds come in seven different types of settings, each displaying it in a unique style. Some popular diamond settings are bars, bezels, chevrons, chanels, paves and prongs.

Diamond jewelry is one of the most expensive types of jewelry. Diamond rings, particularly diamond engagement rings, are an eternal favorite. A diamond solitaire necklace is an enviable and popular jewelry gift. Diamonds set in gold are popular the world over. Diamonds in platinum settings make a grand combination, although they are pretty expensive. The pearl-diamond duo is a picture of elegance. Diamonds in white gold settings are becoming a favorite with the younger generation. Bracelets with diamonds embedded in them are memorable gift items. Diamonds find some unusual settings too - they can be found in tiepins, watches and even ladies' sandals sport diamonds.

Though diamonds are the Earth's hardest materials, a single hard hit can cause one to chip. So diamonds must not be worn during heavy activity. Diamond jewelry can be best maintained by cleaning it with a gentle brush using water and a little bit of ammonia. Diamonds can be well protected from scratches if they are stored in their original velvet boxes when not being worn.

Although they were once a luxury, in recent times, diamonds have become a common possession. The glitter, hassle-free maintenance and durability of diamond jewelry justify the price. Hence, they are reserved for the most special occasions in life. A diamond, as they say, is forever.
