[The Influence of Diamond Jewelry]

As we all know a diamond is forever, however the same cannot be said about every type of diamond. When buying diamond jewelry being able to distinguish a synthetic diamond from a true diamond may be easy for professional but it certainly is not for an average man trying to provide a romantic gift to his partner as a symbol of his love, commitment and intentions. The same was true for men in the 18 century as it is today. Where lucrative prices are involved deception and theft are drawn towards it. Such events have lead to intriguing plot formations in films such as ‘The Great Diamond Robbery(1953)” and they have also been the subject of real events such at the attempted robbery of the Millennium Dome in London. Understanding concepts such as the C’s of diamonds may be easy for those in the know, but without it how can an inexperienced person decide and evaluate aspects such as the value of a diamond?

Following tips for buying diamonds rings and engagement rings can certainly help. Being able to identify prong settings and discreet symbols can help, however many are of the belief that choosing a diamond ring should be a choice taken by following ones heart and eternal judgment. Diamond and jewelry care are also issues which may pose problems for less than savvy buyers. Understanding the maintenance involved in keeping your diamond in pristine condition is also something that people may not be overly familiar with prior to purchase. For example, everyday grime and hair products can stop your diamond from shinning as it should. Ensuring you understand these issues before you buy, will ensure that your diamond jewelry is always in as good shape as the day you bought it.
Throughout the ages diamonds have been used as a means of expression through literature, establishing personal identity and metaphors. Elizabeth Taylor once said that “Big Girls Need Big Diamonds”, whilst Joan Rivers showed a similar stance in saying “If god wanted us to bend over he’d put diamonds on the floor”. Diamonds were featured in the famous song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” for which much debate has existed over the prominent undertones and the reverse acronym for which it may represent. Leo Robin best summarized the relationship between women and diamonds with her quote “A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girls best friend”. It is fair to say that we cannot doubt the influence of diamond jewelry.
