Diamond Earrings - A Gift That Keeps Giving

I looked through some jewelry that I inherited from my mother when she passed away and found some beautiful diamond earrings in her jewelry box. As I looked further in her paperwork I found that she ordered these diamonds from an on-line diamond store that I just had to look up and find out more about them. I got quite an education by reading their web site. Here is what I learned.

The diamond is determined to be valuable or not as valuable by the color it projects and by the cut that the gemologist fashions the diamond with. Each diamond is unique in its style and color. A diamond is like a human being, not one is the same as the other. The size of the diamond is not always the most important quality of it. Where the diamond was found and how it is cut is extremely important. The round-cut diamond allows the facets of the diamond to shine through more effectively.

Most diamonds are found in Europe, Israel and South Africa. It is very important that the diamonds that you buy are not Conflict-Diamonds. That means that these diamonds were not mined by slaves and people who were kidnapped to do mining. This particular web-site specified that their diamonds are not Conflict-Diamonds. I really appreciated that knowledge.

Diamonds have a rich history of being a romantic gift that men who were deeply in love have bestowed upon their mates. Richard Burton bought the famous blue pear-shaped diamond ring for his beloved, Liz Taylor. Each February the commercials on television describe the diamond pendant or ring or earrings as the most special way to say "I love you," especially on Valentines Day. Diamonds have a big reputation of saying "I love you" in the most special way.

I took the earrings my mother had bought to a jewelry appraiser and found that she did in deed buy a very good quality of diamonds. My mother was a very wise lady and gave me a very special gift that I will one day leave to my granddaughter as her inheritance. So the gift not only gives me delight, but every female who inherits these beautiful diamonds will receive the same pleasure.
