Some interesting facts about Diamonds…

The origin of the name 'Diamonds' is from the Greek word 'adamas' – meaning 'unconquerable', since they were recognised as the hardest of all natural minerals from very early times.

Diamonds were once thought to be a scarce resource, but the world's current supply of diamonds is so plentiful, (India, Australia, South Africa, California, Brazil, Russia and Canada), that only a certain quantity is released to the market each year in order to ensure that they continue to fetch the best possible price.

As a result of clever intensive marketing, diamonds have become the traditional stones used in engagement rings and their popularity is firmly entrenched in the modern market. The real value of diamonds is in the higher quallities of their COLOUR (how well the diamond reflects light), CLARITY (how clear the diamond is as a result of any inclusions/defects in it) and CUT (how well the diamond is cut, which affects its brilliance and shine). These qualities will ensure the diamond you choose will keep its value for years to come.

This is why when our customers are making the choice of diamond for their engagement ring, we recommend that they never compromise on the quality of the diamond they buy, but rather on its size. The size of a diamond is determined by its weight. The weight of a diamond is measured in CARATS which is a mass unit used for weighing gems. One carat = 0.2 grams. The term 'points' is used when part of a carat is mentioned: there are 100 points in one carat.

These four characteristics which determine the quality and the price of a diamond are known as THE FOUR Cs.

WHITE DIAMONDS- WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

When it comes to diamonds we never compromise on the quality. We believe a smaller diamond of higher grade is much better than a larger diamond of lower grade. For example, a 0.75 carat diamond
which has a better colour ( D or E), cut and clarity (VVS1 or VVS2), is a better buy than a 0.90 carat diamond which has a lower colour ( H or I ), cut and clarity (SI1 or SI2). We will always help our customers choose the highest quality diamond available for their given budget. If a compromise needs to be made due to budget restrictions – the Carat size of the diamond will be the 'C' to compromise on.

Even when setting small round brilliant-cut diamonds in our jewellery pieces, we always set diamonds which are graded nothing less than G-H in colour, VS in quality. We feel that otherwise the diamonds really do not shine and sparkle as diamonds should, and therefore make the jewellery piece they are set into look extremely dull. All our diamonds from 0.50 carat and bigger are certified by one of the reputable gem certification laboratories , such as GIA, IGI, EGL, GSL.

FANCY COLOURED DIAMONDS –

wHERE DOES THE COLOUR COME FROM?

White diamonds, as we call them, are most common in the clear, transparent, colourless shade. However, diamonds are available in a variety of colours such as: Yellow, Brown, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink and the most rare of all fancy colour diamonds – Red. The colour in diamonds is due to traces of elements other than Carbon which are included in the stone – the most common one is contents of Nitrogen. In the case of Blue diamonds, it is very small traces of Boron that give it its blue colour. Another factor which affects the colour of the diamond is the conditions which existed underground during its formation, such as the presence of radiation.

The quality of Fancy coloured diamonds is in their colour – the more intense the colour is, the more expensive the diamond is. The way coloured diamonds are cut and polished is different to the way White diamonds are, in order to best show their colour. Fancy coloured diamonds are unique and far more rare than white diamonds and as a result of that, they are worth far more than white diamonds in a similar size. Fancy coloured diamonds make up less than 1% of the total rough diamonds processed each year!

FANCY COLOURED DIAMONDS IN OUR DESIGNS

This is the main reason we, at Aharoni jewellery, love working, designing and creating unique pieces with the unusual, rare diamonds that you can see in our diamond collection. When selecting our diamonds we look for intensity in the colour, which in most cases of natural coloured diamonds comes from the inclusions in the stone. We are always searching for the unusual cuts, which will allow us to design a piece that is unique, as the design of each piece starts with the stone. All our Fancy coloured diamonds from 0.10 carat and bigger and are certified by one of the reputable diamond certification laboratories such as GIA, IGI, EGL, GSL. Our love of colours and unusual shapes in designing our jewellery can be seen in our coloured diamond collection just as much as it can be seen in our coloured gemstone collection – only more sparkly!
