Warrior Gemstone: The Invincible, Unconquerable Diamond

Monday, December 15th, 2014

2014, Diamond and Jewelry Gallery, pic, horizontal multi rings

In the world of gemstones, the diamond is esteemed for its exceptional beauty and brilliance. But, did you know that the diamond also has a storied history as a “warrior gemstone?” Their use as an ancient “tool of battle” is lesser known trivia about this precious gemstone.

Originally discovered more than 6,000 years ago in India, diamonds were immediately prized for their extreme durability and hardness and were often used as implements or tools for cutting other materials. Ancient people also came to believe that diamonds were imbued with mystical properties and used them more creatively.

Invincible, Unconquerable Diamonds

The name given to the rare gems gives us an idea of how early peoples viewed and valued them. The term diamond originates from the Greek word “adamas,” which itself means ”invincible” or “unconquerable.” Because of their rarity, diamonds were thought to imbue their wearers with special powers. Thusly, diamonds were often worn in battle to ensure a victorious outcome.

Amazingly, the sparkling gems were also used as a type of weapon. For example, some held beliefs that placing them in the mouth could bring about the loss of teeth; or that grinding a diamond into a fine powder could turn it into a potent poison with the potential to damage victims internally. Ouch!

Born To Shine – The Diamond Birthstone

For those lucky enough to be born in April, the diamond is their traditional birthstone. The stunning gem is thought to imbue wearers with improved relationships, increased strength and benefits such as balance, clarity and abundance. The diamond is also symbolic of lasting, eternal love.

If you’re in the market for a diamond, you’re probably planning to use it as a stunning new addition to your jewelry collection instead of a weapon. When you’re ready, visit the Diamond & Jewelry Gallery in Studio City, CA. We carry the largest selection of EGL & GIA certified diamonds and jewelry anywhere – often more than 50% to 70% below retail.

On sale at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery right now, gifts for every size budget. Choose from thousands of pieces; including sparkling diamond necklaces from $398; “Three Stone Past, Present and Future” diamond or Halo pendants from $285; spectacular diamond earrings and pendants from $685; one carat round brilliant cut diamond gold solitaire rings at just $895, and much more!

Our diamonds are selected to sparkle for a lifetime. And while you don’t have to be a warrior to wear one, we guarantee that wearing our diamonds will make you fierce!

Fancy Colored Diamonds: The “It” Gems

Monday, December 15th, 2014

2014, diamond and jewelry gallery, pic, yellow diamond rectangle ring

Beautifully brilliant diamonds form naturally, over millions of years, in every color of the most vibrantly hued rainbow. But, when it comes to popularity, the stones that often get the most attention are usually white diamonds – those with no color at all. That may be changing. Fast.

Fancy Colored Diamonds – “The It Gems”

Fancy colored diamonds are fast becoming the new “it gems,” sought after not only for their intensely unusual beauty, but also for their extreme rarity. So, what are they and why are they so rare?

Even in the lightest tones and low saturation, any stone showing color in what’s called the face-up position qualifies as a fancy color diamond. Only one in every 10,000 diamonds possesses natural color vibrant enough to be classified as fancy color diamonds.

The Bold and The Beautiful

Offered up in blues, greens, pinks, oranges, reds and yellows – bold and beautiful fancy colored gems are not at all for fine jewelry wallflowers.

More often than not, these richly hued gems are purchased and appreciated for their intensity and distribution of color. Different than when shopping for a white or colorless diamond, considerations such as cut and clarity are less important when purchasing a fancy color diamond. In this market, the bolder and more intensely colored the stone is, the more valuable it is.

More and more purchasers are looking to add depth to the color palette of their jewelry collection. And retailers and auctioneers are paying attention, adding a vibrant range of hued diamonds to their offerings.

Sky Is The Limit

While all diamonds are beautiful, naturally occurring fancy colored diamonds are much more rare, and therefore, much more expensive. And for traders, they’re getting harder and harder to find.

All these factors – the combination of their rarity in nature and dissipation in sourcing – eventually add up, making fancy coloreds much more costly than their blanche counterparts. Some experts quote the sought after gems as being 10 to 20 times the price of a similar quality white diamond.

For those looking to shave down the price of a colored diamond, also available are beautifully hued diamonds that originate from treatments as opposed to nature. These enhanced colored diamonds are often priced as much as ten times lower than those that occur naturally.

Rock Stars

While their popularity and price have increased recently, interest in the showy stones is nothing new. There are many, but here are a few classic examples of fancy colored diamonds that have achieved “Rock Star” status:

The Classic Hope Diamond

One of the largest dark blue diamonds ever found, the Hope Diamond holds court as fine jewelry royalty. The 45.52 carat diamond is housed at the Harry Winston Gallery of the Smithsonian’s Geology, Gems and Minerals exhibition.

In the pendant surrounding the Hope Diamond are 16 white diamonds, both pear-shapes and cushion cuts. The necklace chain contains 45 white diamonds. It is perhaps the most visited museum object in the world.

Epic A-List

In November 2013, Christie’s Geneva sold a 14.82 carat, pear-shaped, vivid orange diamond for $35,540,612. The sale of the show-stopping piece set a world record price for an orange diamond.

Our Featured Piece

You can achieve your own Rock Star status by adding a beautiful, fancy colored diamond to your fine jewelry collection. Featured exclusively at the Studio City, California, showroom of the Diamond & Jewelry Gallery, this stunning18k white gold ring with 22k setting features a brilliant fancy yellow rectangle cut diamond surrounded by dozens of complimentary round cut yellow diamonds.

At the Diamond & Jewelry Gallery, we carry the largest selection of precious colored stones and EGL & GIA certified diamonds and jewelry anywhere – often more than 50% to 70% below retail.

Stop in to see this beautiful, yellow diamond show stopper or any of thousands of other offerings. And get ready to steal the show!
