Introduction to Diamond Rings
Diamonds have been known to humankind since ancient times. Over the centuries, they have continued to captivate people with their beauty and rarity. Initially, diamonds were used in their rough form as ornaments or amulets. They were believed to be indestructible in antiquity and held various powers, such as longevity and healing. In Greco-Roman mythology, Cupid’s arrows were said to be tipped with diamonds, symbolizing eternal love. It wasn’t until the Middle Ages that diamonds became precious stones. They began to be faceted from rough stones, enhancing their transparency and brilliance as we know them today. At that time, the opening of the trade route to India spurred the development of the diamond trade. Diamonds became the stones of kings and emperors, eventually finding their way into modern jewelry collections. Diamond rings hold a special place in the jewelry world. They are historically associated with engagement and marriage. However, diamonds are not limited to bridal jewelry; fashion diamond rings are also trendy, offering a dazzling touch for any occasion.

Carat A carat is the unit used to measure the weight of a diamond, with one carat equaling 0.2 grams. The heavier the diamond, the larger(and more expensive it will be. Color The color of the diamond is a sign of its purity and rarity; the less color a diamond has, the higher its value. The international color scale for white diamonds includes 23 shades, ranked from D (perfectly colorless) to Z. Clarity All diamonds have imperfections and inclusions within the diamond’s structure formed during its creation. In most cases, imperfections won’t be visible to the naked eye nor majorly affect the diamond’s brilliance.
