A Diamond Ring is Forever
Diamonds and diamond rings are
things of beauty - they elevate
the wearer and create an aura of
desirability, success and
fulfillment. A diamond is the
hardest substance known to man
and hugely durable. Because of
this, diamonds are highly
resistant to deterioration and its
beauty and value endures. The
reasons for buying
are many and varied. They
are coveted as gifts, status
symbols, tokens of romance and
long-term investments. While
diamond prices may fluctuate
with economic conditions, even
after years of being worn and
enjoyed, a diamond ring retains
its value.

The Origin of Diamonds        
Diamond mining is found in many
countries across the world
including:
·        South Africa
·        Sierra Leone
·        Ivory Coast
·        Ghana
·        Central African Republic
·        Tanzania
·        Brazil
·        Guyana
·        Venezuela
·        Guinea
·        China
·        Indonesia
·        India

Rough diamonds are mostly
delivered to London for sorting
and then cut in many countries -
the major cutting centers are in
Antwerp, Tel Aviv, New York and
Bombay.

Rare and Coloured Diamonds

Large diamonds are not often
found in nature, which makes
them difficult to source and are
the rarest of the Diamond Quality
Pyramid. Less than one percent
of women will ever own a
diamond that weighs more than
one carat. Miners will typically
only find one carat of rough
diamonds for every 250 tons of
ore blasted out of the ground,
crushed and processed. And,
only 1 in 5 of of all rough
diamonds found are suitable for
cutting for diamond jewelry.
While colour within diamonds
generally reduces the perceived
quality, a few have very bright
pronounced colours running
through the stone and these are
considered very rare and highly
prized.

Diamond Rings & Jewelry
Traditionally the ownership of
diamonds was limited to Royalty
and the upper-class of society.
Elaborate headpieces, necklaces
and rings studded with diamonds
(think of the Queen's Crown) was
the order of the day. The
discovery of diamond mines in
Africa in the late 1900s made
diamond rings and jewelry more
widely available and the level of
design amongst goldsmiths
vastly improved, designs
evolved and the diamond
became the rightful focal point in
any jewelry it was set within.

Diamond Shapes
There are traditional and
contemporary setting variations
for diamond rings, but there are
six main diamond shapes: round
brilliant-cut, marquise,
emerald-cut, pear-shaped, oval
and heart-shaped. More than 75%
of all diamonds sold are round
stones.


Diamond engagement rings are
amongst one of the most
gorgeous selection of precious
gifts you can ever give to the
very special person in your life.
The most treasured moment in
life is adorned to its spirits with a
diamond-encrusted ring. There is
no other way to express the
exquisite recognition of diamond
rings in wedding. Diamond rings
offer the perfect value of money
and pleasure of finding
something very realistic. The fire
and brilliance of a ring takes you
to the higher level in the
armoire. Diamond rings are much

costlier than any other
stoned rings. You can feel the difference
of a diamond
engagement ring with others at the very
first look.
The Quality of a Diamond Engagement
Ring
The quality of a diamond engagement
ring is expressed in
terms of the diamond cut and the metal
used such as
platinum, gold or silver. A good cut is very
essential for the
diamond's beauty, the color and clarity of
the diamond
depends mainly on the proportions of
width and depth of the
cut. Traditionally known as a symbol of
love and proposing
during wedding or engagement. Every
man wants to use the
most expensive engagement or wedding
ring symbolizing
eternity. Diamond rings are a perfect
choice for them.
Ring Style While shopping you should
have some idea about the nature
and style of the ring. First choose the
centre stone. Most of
the people love to wear diamonds but
some may prefer
other stones that are not usually seen.
You should then
choose the shape - for this you should be
aware of the
tastes and preferences of your special
person. Rings are
available in various shapes such as
round, square, emerald
cut, marquise, oval, pear, heart and
trillion. Always select
something that gives good feel to your
diamond wedding
ring or diamond engagement ring. Next is
the choice of the
metal and its style. The beauty of the
hand and a brief study
of the type of finger jewelry she enjoys will
give you a basic
idea about the diamond rings. Now most
of the people love
to wear silver jewelry. But setting
diamond in silver is not a
best choice; you can either prefer white
gold or platinum.
Platinum rings are really costly and go
well with diamonds.
Diamonds for Men
Not only women love to wear diamond
rings, the fascination
is no way less for men. The exotic
collection of wonderful
men's diamond rings is available for
everybody. Diamond
rings always suggest a rank much above
the normal and this
costly accessory represents your
personality and
individuality in the most glorious way
which no other stone
can compare.
