Diamond Jewelry - Girls and Women's Best Friend

Diamond jewelry is just the best, as well as the most costly type of jewelry. Diamond jewelry is a way of saying 'you are definitely worth it'. Other stones are wonderful, but diamonds are girls and women best friend! However, having made the decision to buy some diamond jewelry you will need to know what to look for and how to find it.

Firstly get to know the four 'C' s. 'Clarity' , 'Cut', Color; and 'Carat' (carat weight). Clarity is the extent to which a stone has any imperfections. Diamond jewelry without imperfections is more valuable than diamond jewelry with flaws. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is America's professional organisation dealing with diamond jewelry assessment and standard.

Value of diamond jewelry is also determined by a diamond's cut. Diamonds can be Prince Cut, Round Cut, Emerald Cut, Radiant Cut, Cushion Cut, Oval, Heart, Pear - to name a few! But we all know the familiar round cut solitaire engagement ring!

Diamond Jewelry - Colored Diamonds, Carats & Fifth 'C'

Diamond colors vary enormously, and some coloured stones are astonishingly beautiful. There are over 300 known diamond colors, and some very famous diamond jewelry is colored. My favorite is the Hope Diamond. A rich blue Indian diamond dating back to the 1600s and now in the Smithsonian. This is diamond jewelry at its most beautiful.

Diamond weight is measured in carats. This is a corruption of the word 'carab' as originally it was the carab seeds, with identical weight were used to establish weights of stones and gems. One carat weighs 200mg. Carat and size strongly affect diamond values.

In recent years, a fifth C has been added. The fifth C means diamond jewelry is 'clean' i.e., not from conflict countries where child labour is used for mining, and wars prolonged with diamond sale proceeds financing gangs and arms dealers.

Jewelry Cleaners - How to Clean Your Jewelry Like a Pro?

We all love to have fabulous jewelry, but we sometimes forget to take good care of it. Jewelry cleaner helps keep the stones and the settings looking their best, and jewelry cleaner also protects pieces from damage.

Do take care when using jewelry cleaner. Like many cleaning agents, it is important to follow the instructions properly.

Using the right jewelry cleaner makes all the difference. They are usually chemically based so as with all chemicals, there are general precautions to take.
