Ancient Legends of Gems and Jewels

Known as "The King of Gems," the Diamond is said to enhance the energies of the body, mind and spirit. It is easily used in conjunction with other stones, as its traditional healing properties are not of a specific nature, but work as amplifiers.
Being the most reflective of all stones, Diamond exposes the ego and all selfish desires. It is a symbol of romance, for it strengthens the bonds of love and marriage, and heightens the qualities of innocence, purity and faithfulness.
 

What Determines the Value of a Diamond?

Assessing the value of a diamond depends on many factors. The Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight (the 4 Cs) are standard factors established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The GIA is a nonprofit, non-affiliated organization that provides educational, research and testing services to the diamond industry.

The unique prestige of owning a diamond, its overall beauty and the diamond's status as a symbol of love are all features that make owning a diamond appealing. However, the symbolism of giving the gift of a diamond has even more significance. The gift of a diamond is the one of the most special gestures and memorable experiences a person can share. The gift of a diamond is immeasurable.
 

Cut

The Ideal Cut

Light* entering the diamond reflects internally from facet to facet and is reflected back through the top ONLY, creating maximum brilliance.

Inferior Cut

Most diamonds are "spread" in their cutting to retain maximum weight from the original rough. A heavier diamond will result, but at a dramatic sacrifice of potential fire and brilliance.

Too Deep

When a diamond is cut too deep, light* leaks out of the bottom, brilliance is lost and the center of the diamond will appear to be dark.

Too Shallow

When a diamond is cut too shallow, light* leaks out of the bottom, brilliance is lost and the diamond appears watery, glassy and dark.

Most diamonds, although appearing colorless, actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. As these tones become more easily apparent, the rarity and the cost decrease. Ideal cutting dramatizes the rare splendor of a diamond because it produces such dazzling brilliance.

Clarity

Pratically all diamonds contain naturally occurring internal characteristics called inclusions. The size, nature, location and amount of inclusions determine a diamond's clarity grade and affect its cost. One unique advantage of the Ideal Cut is that its sparkle can mask otherwise noticeable inclusions.

This word for the measurement of a diamond's weight is derived from the carob seeds that were used to balance scales in ancient times. A carat is equal to 200 milligrams and there are 142 carats to an ounce. Carats are further divided into points. There are 100 points in a carat. A half-carat diamond may be referred to as a 50-point stone (about 100 milligrams). Because large diamonds are rare, they generally have a greater value per carat.

Famous Diamonds

Australian Pink Diamond

Scattered throughout western Australia's mammoth diamond output are a few fancy pink stones that have commanded prices up to $60,000 per carat. Sadly, these rare pink diamonds are rarely very large in size; nearly all produced average around .10 Ct. Pictured is a .70 Ct heart-shaped Australian pink diamond.

Fancy Blue Diamond

Except for the one-in-a-million green or red diamond, a fancy blue diamond is the rarest kind. Prices of $50,000 and up, per carat, are quite common for a top rated one-carat "fancy blue" stone - a reflection of their scarcity. Pictured is a 4.35 carat natural blue diamond.

Fancy Brown Diamond

Fancy brown or fancy-color diamonds with a strong brown hue have long been favorites among diamond dealers who wish to wear diamond jewelry, rings especially. The coloring seen in this type of diamond is strong and masculine, making it easy for men to wear them as well.

The Hope Diamond

Big, blue and fabulously fancy, the Hope Diamond is the most famous gem in the world. The 45.52 - carat stone, on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., has a long and intriguing history. The Hope is the largest deep-blue diamond in existence. Legend has it that, over the centuries, whoever owned this great gem was cursed with bad luck.

The Tiffany Diamond

Tiffany first unveiled its 128.51 - carat behemoth at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. A special guide book for the event commented that, "It's not only the largest diamond in this country, but is more than 23 and three-eighths carats heavier than the well known Koh-i-noor diamond."

Fancy Yellow Diamond

s Very few diamonds merit the designation of fancy yellow - or fancy color of any sort. In 1978, San Francisco dealer/gemologist Joseph Gill, one of the few to have written at length about colored diamonds, estimated that the odds of a diamond having a colored appearance were 2,500:1. Pictured is a 2.14 - carat fancy yellow diamond.
