Diamonds are made up of pure carbon atoms that exist deep in the ground, exposed to intense heat and pressure over billions of years. Diamonds were first discovered and mined in India over 2,400 years ago. Over time, diamonds were found in many other areas around the world, including many in Africa. In today’s trade, Africa, Russia, Australia, and Canada produce the most diamonds.

A quick, fun fact: The first diamond deposits were brought to the surface of the earth approximately 2.5 billion years ago. The most recent deposits are roughly 50 million years old. Your diamond is a truly unique piece of history

Seriously? If you have no idea what they are, I’m not sure what you had been reading on our website so far. Now, pay attention in class! One of the first things you should learn about diamonds is information regarding the four main characteristics. These are cut, color, clarity and carat.

Out of these four, color and clarity denote the material quality of the stone, carat represents the weight of the stone (1 carat = 200 milligrams) and cut represents the only human factor coming into play. The quality of the work that the cutter has put into the given stone determines the luster and beauty of the stone.

As a first step, cleaving or sawing is often used to separate the original rough into smaller, more workable pieces that will each eventually become an individual polished gem. Next, bruting grinds away the edges, providing the outline shape (for example, heart, oval or round) for the gem. Faceting is then done in two steps: during blocking, the table, culet, bezel and pavilion main facets are cut; afterward, the star, upper girdle and lower girdle facets are added.

Once the fully faceted diamond has been inspected and improved, it is boiled in hydrochloric and sulfuric acids to remove dust and oil. The diamond is then considered a finished, polished gem.

There is no physical difference between a diamond that is certified and one that is not. A certificate does not change the nature of a diamond in any way. The difference between a certified and an uncertified diamond is that, with the certified diamond, you have tangible, legal assurances as to the particular nature and quality of the diamond you are purchasing.

A certified diamond comes with a diamond grading report guaranteed by an accredited gem lab. This report assures the customer that the diamond is independently recognized as possessing all the qualities specified by that report.

On the other hand, an uncertified diamond has is not accompanied by a diamond grading report, and therefore its stated quality is based only on the word of the seller.

An uncertified diamond is not necessarily a bad diamond; certainly, it can be as beautiful as its certified counterpart.

Yes and no. It is safe if the diamond jeweler uses insured carriers (e.g., FedEx and UPS) to ship its packages and all shipments are insured for the full value of their contents.

Buy only diamonds that are graded by Any Diamond Lab. Check the laser inscription of the diamond to make sure it tallies with the information on the grading report. You should also loupe the diamond and match inclusions with the clarity plot shown in the certificate.

It depends on your preference and your finger shape. Please consider all shapes to see which best suits your style. Fancy shapes (All shapes other than round) tend to look larger than rounds, yet round brilliants hide inclusions and yellow tints the best.

The price of diamonds does fluctuate slightly due to many reasons, such as:

• USD to NZD exchange rate fluctuation, as diamonds are bought and sold in USD, the prices are subject to the days rate.
• Fluctuating demand as it is a world market.
• Fluctuating supply as it is a natural gem, there is only a limited amount that is mined each year.

With most reputable laboratories, the following grades are considered eye clean, IF, VVS-1, VVS-2, VS-1 and VS-2. Some of the SI-1 and SI-2 clarity grades are also eye clean.

For the past decades, diamond prices have been steadily increasing and historically, hold their value. Although, whether investing in diamond is good or not depends on if you are investing in the diamond itself or in what a diamond represents.

Even though diamonds are the hardest element discovered, they can still be damaged from abuse. Also another common way of chipping diamonds are when one diamond hits another. Therefore, you should be careful when wearing expensive jewellery, particularly when doing labor intensive work, and should take care when storing multiple jewelry items together.

Anything that cuts grease will help remove the build-up of oil and dirt from a diamond. Commercially prepared jewelry cleaner is perfectly suited for this purpose as is a simple dishwashing detergent and a bit of ammonia. You can of course also ask your jeweler periodically to clean your diamond jewelry. He will on the same occasion verify the setting to make sure your diamond remains in place.
