Diamonds are girl's best friend... hehe.. actually I don't quite agree with this.. Nevertheless, a lot of women like diamonds. They regards it as the most precious piece of jewellery among their collection. Diamond is also the symbol of commitment from their partners. Diamond.. diamond.. though I never really crazy about diamonds, I really want to know more about diamond. Why it is so expensive? What is so special about diamond?
By chance, I passed by a diamond exhibition by Tian Po Jewellery here in Orchard yesterday. It was an exhibition for "hearts-on-fire" series of diamonds.. hehe.. A kind sales person showed me a 0.33 carat diamond under a "binocular". It was very beautiful. Actually I dun have sufficient english vocabulary to describe what I have seen... maybe you may buy one and try to look at it.. hehe.. (I din buy any!) Besides, there was a presentation also on how to cut "hearts-on-fire" diamond (The world most perfectly cut diamond!!).. diamond is the hardest stone on this earth.. so they use other diamond to cut the rough diamond... one thing is really astonishing.. diamond consists of 58 facets and the "shi fu" cuts those facets equally and symmetric to each other... purely judged by his eyes only!! ;-)
After the exhibition, I do feel that diamond is special in its own way.. but still, I dun really wish to have one.. cause it is too expensive and not really practical lar..
*************Some basic knowledge about diamond*****************************
If you've been shopping for diamonds, you've probably heard something about the 4 Cs — Cut, Carat, Clarity and Color.
Depending on whom you've talked to, their explanation may sound a bit complicated. But we're here to make it simple — perfectly simple.
Essentially, the value of a diamond is determined by two factors — size and quality, including the quality of the cut. Size is defined by a diamond's carat weight. The combination of the other three Cs make up the diamond's quality. Each C can be measured and assigned a grade by a gemological certification lab, and every Hearts On Fire diamond is submitted to the lab at the American Gem Society (AGS). The AGS lab is renowned for its stringent grading standards, and is the only lab in the world that assigns a definitive grade for a diamond's Cut. They adhere to the internationally accepted grading scale developed by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for assigning Color and Clarity grades.
