Precious Stone: The Diamond
The history of the diamond
In the world of stones, precious stones occupy a special place, due to their rarity and their strong meanings. There are four of these stones and are distinguished by their brilliance and timelessness. Among them, diamond is the most popular gemstone. Often used for engagement rings, diamond jewelry is the result of long work which determines the quality of the jewelry.
Over the past 70 years, pop culture has largely contributed to the popularity of diamonds and particularly to the romance associated with this stone. Many films have contributed to this growth, such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s with the iconic Audrey Hepburn.
Since then, the popularity of diamonds has remained at its peak and Audrey Hepburn's looks continue to inspire the biggest celebrities. From Sofia Richie to Kylie Jenner to Lady Gaga, diamond jewelry is everywhere . To wear in accumulation, or alone, the diamond will always have a crazy effect . The diamond, women's best friend, remains a safe and timeless value, adapting to all occasions and retaining its value over time. If you want to enhance all your looks and add a touch of elegance, diamond jewelry is always the ideal choice .
The creation of diamond jewelry
A crucial concept in the world of diamonds, the 4Cs . They include carat, clarity, color and cut, and are the fundamental criteria for assessing the value of a diamond. This standard was established by the prestigious Gemmological Institute of America, and diamonds often come with a GIA certificate to attest to their quality. The carat measures the weight of the stone, the clarity examines the purity by detecting possible impurities, the color can vary between various shades, while the cut , shaped by diamond experts, aims to maximize the brilliance and facets of the diamond, thus offering a variety of shapes, such as pear, princess, round, and many more.
After the diamond is extracted, it is cut and polished to reveal all its beauty.
When designing the jewelry, setting techniques are carefully chosen to secure the stone and complete the design. There are several types of crimping. The prong crimp, for example, is the most popular. The diamond is set with three to ten prongs and allows the stone to reflect a lot of light.
The halo setting is popular for engagement rings because the center diamond appears larger. It consists of placing side diamonds around the central diamond.
The bezel setting, also popular for engagement rings, is one of the strongest types of setting. It provides optimal protection for the diamond by being surrounded by a thin band of metal.
