Round Certified Natural Diamond

Jackie Kennedys Engagement Ring and Jewelry Collection: There are not enough words to describe one of the most memorable lady's in United States history. We now fondly refer to her as Jackie O, and she is remembered mostly as the beautiful young bride of the United States thirty-fifth president. When one calls her image to mind, we see a beautiful woman with poise, grace, and flawless style. There were many women that tried to emulate the way that the First lady dressed and wore her hair.Jacqueline was married twice and received two magnificent engagement rings. John F. Kennedy proposed with a ring that his father actually selected. This incredible ring consisted of a 2.88 carat diamond mounted next to a 2.84 carat emerald and tapering baguettes. The ring was reset with round diamonds, totaling 0.66 carat, and marquise diamonds, totaling 1.46 carats, in 1962. The second ring is probably the most well known of Jacqueline's jewelry pieces, but also it was worn the least. Aristotle Onassis presented her with a 40 carat marquise Lesotho III diamond ring when she agreed to marry him. The diamond was one of eighteen diamonds cut from the 601 carat rough diamond, the Lesotho, which was displayed at both the Smithsonian and the Museum of Natural History in New York before being cut into eighteen different diamonds. Rumor has it that Jacqueline only wore the ring two times and then had it locked up in a New York bank vault.

Jacqueline's flawless sense of style did not just include her clothing; it also extended to her extensive jewelry collection. She preferred big, colorful necklaces and bracelets from Van Cleef & Arpel. Her jewelry collection consisted of but is by no means limited to the following:

• A 47 carat Kunzite stone bordered by twenty round diamond. President Kennedy bought this for his beautiful wife, however, due to his untimely death he was not able to give it to her.

• A Cabochon ruby and diamond pendant with matching clip earrings that were a wedding gift from Aristotle.

• A 17.68 carat ruby ring.

• A Cabochon ruby necklace.

• A pair of dangling Cabochon ruby earrings.

• A lovely amethyst necklace that had graduated drops.

• A pair of red tourmaline briolette earrings that were suspended from amethysts.

• A 19th century cabochon garnet flower brooch.

• A fascinating small scarecrow pin in gold with gems.

• A double strand black stone necklace. Jacqueline wore this piece the day that her husband, John F. Kennedy, announced his candidacy for president.

While the above list in no way represents the vast collection that Jacqueline owned, it is representative of what she was accustomed to and represented her wonderful sense of style and beauty.

Many brides of today are modeling their wedding day appearance after the beautiful Jackie O. From her simple but elegant style of dressing, her classically beautiful hair style, to her lavishly gorgeous gems, Jackie O is the look that many woman, bride or not, desire. In today's high tech world it is easier than ever to search a vast variety of stores to find inexpensive look-a-like items, especially jewelry items that resemble hers.

The author just celebrated her one year anniversary and sports a beautiful ascher cut ring. She and her husband put together the website: http://www.ultimate-engagement-ring-guide.com to help you find the perfect ring.

Princess Cut Diamond

Is it appropriate to have a round diamond in a setting with two princess cut diamonds on the sides?

Engagement ring. The setting has one princess cut diamond to each side of the main diamond. Is it ok to have a round cut diamond in the center or will it look weird. I have no idea, that is why I am asking. The picture doesn't look bad, but I wasn't sure if there was some unwritten rule or something

Nowadays it seems to be all about personal style and what you like. It's your ring, and likely the most important one you will get. The old rules don't apply anymore regarding style, color, stones or settings. So use that to your advantage! I think the unusual or not everyday things that everyone seems to fo is much much nicer. Go with what you like best and make it work! Good luck!

Loose Beautiful Diamonds

A diamond is a type of gemstone which is often believed to be everlasting in nature and unable to be damaged in any way. Although this is a nice notion to have, the truth of the matter is that diamonds can be damaged if not treated in a careful manner. It is important to note what can happen to a diamond if not treated properly and ways to safeguard against damage to one's diamond ring, diamond necklace or other type of jewelry item in which this beautiful gem is part thereof.

How Can a Diamond be Damaged?

A diamond has an extremely hard consistency to it which is one of its many wonderful attributes. However, there are ways for this lovely gemstone to be broken, scratched or otherwise damaged. Damage to a diamond can occur by dropping it on a hard surface, scraping it roughly against concrete or other similar matter or simply repeatedly storing it in a place where it is not properly contained. Although damaging a diamond is not an easy thing to do, it is something which can occur from time to time.

Ways to Safeguard Against Diamond Damage

Many pieces of diamond jewelry are worn on a daily basis, such as a diamond engagement ring, which makes the occurrence of damage highly possible due to frequent wear. In order to safeguard against damaging one's ring, bracelet or other diamond jewelry piece, there are a few steps one can take in their daily wear and storage of such an exquisite item. When wearing the diamond, one should always be cautious when doing so and try not to bang into any walls or other fixtures which may put a chip in the diamond or even break it if the contact is hard enough.

Another way to carefully wear one's diamond jewelry piece is to ensure a tight fit on the ring or complete closure of the clasp. If one's diamond jewelry item does not fit right or is not closed properly, they are more likely to drop the jewel and have it be stepped on or crack upon hitting a hard, unforgiving surface. In order to ensure that the diamond jewelry item fits well and closes properly, it is a good idea to have a jeweler look at it from time to time to ensure that it is in tiptop shape.

Damage in the form of scratching can also occur to the diamond if it is not stored properly. The best place to store one's diamond jewelry is in a felt covered jewelry box where each jewelry item has its own separate compartment. This will help to ensure not only that the item is in a spot where it will not bang up against other jewelry items but that it is in a place where one will not lose sight of it. In order for a diamond to be scratched it must come in contact with another diamond which has the same hardness.

Insure Your Jewelry Items

An additional safeguard to have in place involves insurance on the diamond jewelry item. Since diamonds are often pricey in nature, it makes sense that one would want to insure the jewelry item in case it were to be lost, stolen or damaged. Although most insurance companies will not insure loose diamonds, there are many which are more than happy to offer insurance policies which will cover your diamond once the gem is placed in a fixed setting. An insurance policy which covers this precious stone is a great way to cover your losses should it be damaged in any way.

And if you are looking for unique engagement ring for your beloved then you must surf online stores. There you can find host of choices in different combinations and styles.

Online stores offer certified diamond of your ideal specification which you can set in your perfect ring. And because of low overheads these stores offer engagement rings and other jewelry at low prices compare to local jewelry store.

But diamond engagement rings are lifetime investment therefore it is very important to buy the right ring for your special someone because it will be cherished by her forever. Hence before selecting your ring you must think of clarity and color of the diamond. Always remember that if you want a diamond which is free of marks then you must select a stone above S12. It is difficult to see the marks with your naked eye.

But you can see the marks with a loupe which is used by jewelers. You can easily find colorless and fancy colored diamond by surfing the online stores. But always remember that if you want to save money then you can buy fancy colored diamonds because colorless diamonds are little expensive compare to colored diamonds.

Apart from clarity and color you must consider cut and carat of diamond also. At online stores you can find engagement rings of round shape, heart shape, emerald cut, oval cut, princess cut and marquise cut. But selecting a cut of your diamond is a matter of preference of your partner. But if you will think according to your cost then you will find that there are many fancy cuts which are less expensive that round cut.

And at last is your carat of diamond. Carat means weight and it is measured in carat. Always remember that diamond of same carat, color and clarity may differ in prices due to its other characteristics which includes cut. You must keep in mind that a diamond which is nicely proportioned will have high prices compare to those which are poorly cut and it will also handle the light differently and will produce more fire. Hence this is the reason why people give more importance to the cut of diamond compare to other factors.

By purchasing form online stores you will get diamond certification which includes all the information of diamond and its characteristics. Always remember that if you will buy your ring from online jewelry stores then you will be assured that your love gift is the best.

Brilliant Loose Diamond

The quest to find the perfect diamond is the goal of many buyers, whether they are looking for an engagement ring, wedding ring, loose diamonds, or other piece of fine diamond jewelry. In some ways the term "perfect" is subjective - if she is satisfied with the 18k white gold, pave set, heart-shaped diamond studded engagement ring you have chosen for her, then to her "perfect" is the visible display of love you are offering - nothing else matters!

However, perhaps there is a particular diamond that you'd prefer he buy for you, something he may not know and could use your help selecting. He is rightfully concerned that a particular diamond on display may not look quite right when worn on your hand, but he isn't certain which one will look the best. Maybe he understands that the diamond ring he chooses should complement your existing jewelry or that you prefer something less traditional, a different metal color, or have some other preference he isn't aware of.

Some couples like to flip through a jewelry catalog, navigate their way around a professional jeweler's website, or head to the mall to try on and examine a variety of pieces. This can be an excellent way to show him what you like while allowing him to make the purchase himself and "surprise" you later on. If he needs additional help, you can share with him a concise overview of what to look for in a diamond, whether for a ring or a loose diamond.

The following overview highlights the attributes found in every diamond:

Four C's Of Diamond Selection

The four attributes of any diamond are its color, clarity, ideal cut, and carat (weight).

Color - Concerning diamonds, the less visible the color, the better. Diamonds are categorized according to range, with five ranges consisting of colorless, near colorless, faint yellow, very light yellow, and light yellow. Each range is assigned several letter grades with D-F being colorless, G-J near colorless, and so on. Traditionalists will likely choose a colorless diamond while most shoppers are very happy with near colorless diamonds as they appear colorless when held face up. Near colorless diamonds are particularly prized for their excellent value.

Clarity - The number of blemishes, particularly the location and amount of flaws, will determine a diamond's clarity. It takes special magnification to see flaws when they are present. A flawless diamond is a rarity, containing absolutely no inclusions and different grades are assigned to diamonds with various levels of inclusions. Those diamonds with inclusions visible to the naked eye are considered imperfect and are of low value, not something to consider giving as a gift.

Cut - While the shape of a diamond is important, the distribution of mass determines just how well the stone handles light. An ideal cut diamond will reflect light back through the top facets of the rock. A poorly cut loose diamond - too shallow or too deep - means that light will escape through the bottom of the stone, hampering the diamond's brilliance. Go with an ideal cut diamond and you'll have chosen an appealing diamond.

Carat - When you think of carat, you are concerning yourself with the diamond's weight. Carat weight determines price with larger carat stones costing more. Though two diamonds may weigh the same, color, clarity, and cut can influence their value greatly.

Truly, the "perfect" diamond is one that has a good balance of attributes, but is also something that is selected from the heart and presented by the man to the woman he loves as a tangible expression of his love and commitment to her. Beyond doubt, there isn't anything more perfect then that!

Natural Loose Diamonds

Diamonds are the symbol that we use to show are undying love for someone. They are the traditional icon of romance and love. Most people may be surprised to learn that the majority of diamonds that are mined today are used for industrial purposes and not for jewelry.

Historians believe that diamonds may have first been used for industrial purposes not for their brilliant sparkle and allure. Peter Lu a Harvard physicist and his colleagues discovered that in the late Stone Age the Chinese used diamonds to polish ceremonial burial axes. Today about 80% of mined diamonds are used for cutting, drilling, grinding and polishing.

Most people might be surprised to know that diamonds are not the hardest substance on Earth. Diamonds are the hardest natural mineral substance, but they are not the hardest substance known to man. A substance called Aggregated Diamond Nonorods is about 11 % harder than a diamond.

The first diamonds were discovered by Indians over 3,000 years ago. Diamonds didn't get associated with love and romance until the 1940's when the De Beers Company began to advertise diamonds as the perfect item for a wedding or engagement rings. They did an all out media campaign and soon people were buying diamond engagement rings all over the world.

It is believed that most diamonds are over three billion years old and most are formed more than 100 miles below the surface of the earth. Before the sixth century, India was the only known source of diamonds and was the predominant source for over 2,000 years.

The Romans believed that diamonds had the power to ward off evil and wore them as talismans. It is believed that they inherited this belief from Indian mythology. In France in the thirteenth century it was decreed that only the king could wear diamonds.

The Gemological Institute of America was founded in the 1950's. It was the first internationally accepted diamond grading system. This system applied uniform criteria to grading the quality of polished diamonds. The GIA Gem Trade Laboratory Diamond Grading Report is the benchmark for the international gem and jewelry industry.

The Cullinan diamond was the largest rough diamond ever found and was 3,106 carats. It was discover in the Premier mine of South Africa in 1905.It was cut into nine major stones. The largest of the stones is the Star of Africa and is 550.20 carats. It is housed in the Tower of London and mounted in the British Royal Scepter. The most recent diamond discoveries have been in the Northwest Territories of Canada and in Colorado. Explorers found diamond pipes in both locations in 1990.

It wasn't until the late 13th century that diamonds were used in European jewelry. Diamonds were initially used for engraving other gems including sapphire cameos. They were also used for drilling holes in hard stone beads.

Diamonds have been around forever and are cherished by all. Diamonds have an exciting and lively history. These are just a few of the fascinating facts associated with diamonds.

Igi Certified Genuine Diamond

Four Steps to ensure a positive shopping experience for anyone intending to purchase a certified diamond online. The savings makes the effort well worthwhile.

Step One - you must purchase from some one qualified to know what they are doing. There are many imitations, treatments and synthetics out there which are very difficult to recognise. Diamonds are a complex subject, inexperience could easily make the seller a victim of fraud and inocently pass this on to you.

The best way to separate them is to only look at websites which have a huge diamond inventory. Good trade connections are necessary in order to access this type of inventory. This usually means they are well connected in the industy. Many also offer a 30day money back guarantee.

Typically the website would ask for you to enter details like the colour, clarity, shape, and sometimes even the type of certificate and quality of cut. Once you enter these details you are instantly presented with sometimes hundreds of diamonds to choose from.

Step Two - Certification by a recognised laboratory. There are only a small number of true laboratories in the world. Some of the most common ones I have listed below. This is a laboratory, not simply a valuation. Only a laboratory can recognise a synthetic diamond.

If you are considering purchasing a diamond certified by a laboratory not listed below then take great care. I am not saying that they are no good. In Australia for instance there are two local laboratories, the DCLA Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia and the ADGL Australian Diamond Grading Laboratory. Both of these laboratories are recognised as legitimate and totally acceptable.

If the laboratory is not on the list make sure you phone your local Gemmological Association and ask if the laboratory is legitimate. Making this simple phone call could be the difference between a positive and a negitive shopping experience. There are a few unscrupulous people currently providing completely bogus certificates. These certificates look so official that customers are easily fooled.

The main laboratories are:- GIA, Gemological Institute of America, HRD, High Diamond Council of Antwerp, EGL, European Gemological Laboratory, IGI, International Gemmological Institute AGS or AGSL, American Gem Society Laboratory

Step Three - Check yellow pages or phone enquiries and confirm your order using this listed phone number. There is always the unlikely chance someone has copied the website and is tricking you to pay for the diamond into their account.

Step Four - Make sure the certificate actually matches the diamond you have bought. A qualified jewelery valuer should be able to do this for you for a small charge. There have been instances where a genuine certificate has been fraudulently copied and supplied along with lower grade diamonds.

If you follow these four simple steps you should be able to purchase the diamond of your dreams for the best possible price with complete confidence.
