1/2 Carat DiamondDiamonds are among the most prized substances on earth. The name "diamond" comes from the Greek word "adamastos," meaning "invincible."
The value of a stone is determined by the "4 Cs" of cut, color, clarity and carat weight.
The cut is the factor that defines the brilliance of a diamond. Round brilliant cut is considered the "ideal" shape for a diamond because it maximizes a stone's sparkle.
Color indicates to the presence or absence of color in white diamonds. Colorless and near-colorless diamonds are the most valuable. There are even fancy natural colored diamonds in reds, pinks, blues, greens, yellows, browns and other colors. Fancies are valued for their depth of color.
Clarity of a diamond is based on the presence of surface or internal flaws within a diamond caused during its formation or during the cutting process. The fewer inclusions the diamond has, the more valuable the diamond will be.
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats (ct.). Each carat is divided into 100 points or approximately 200 milligrams.
Diamonds are simply crystallized carbon. With a ranking of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness diamonds are the hardest known substance on earth.
Since only diamonds can scratch other diamonds, it's important to wrap and store your diamond jewelry pieces separately.
Diamond is symbol of everlasting love. Mary of Burgundy is the first known recipient of a diamond engagement ring, in 1477. And so began the tradition of presenting the diamond as a promise of marriage. A diamond is believed to bring its owner wealth and happiness as well as protection.

Every woman needs a good strand of pearls to complete her jewelery collection, and this 30 inch strand of 7-7.5mm cultured white pearls fits the bill nicely. This strand is composed entirely of precious cultured pearls and fastens with a 14K gold clasp.

30 Inch 7-7.5mm Cultured Akoya PearlThroughout history, these noble gems have been connected with intelligence, wealth, purity, romance and mystery.
Pearls are organic gems, created when an oyster covers a foreign object with beautiful layers of nacre - smooth, hard crystalline substance. Layer upon layer of nacre coats the foreign object and hardens, finally forming a pearl.
Pearls are cultured in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and kinds.
The five factors that determine value are luster (surface brilliance); surface cleanliness (absence of spots, bumps or cracks); shape (the rounder the pearl, the higher its value); color (pearls come in almost every hue of the rainbow, and a few others, too); and size (the standard pearl sold is 7-7.5 millimeters, but these gems can be as small as 1 millimeter or as large as 20 millimeters).
Pearls are soft, ranking only 2.5-4.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, so they need special care.
