The Many Facets of a Diamond

by on ‎03-29-2012 01:42 PM

What comes to mind when you hear the word "diamond"? Does it conjure up images of glamorous starlets? Do you think of engagements and weddings? Do you remember a family heirloom worn by your grandmother? Does the word make you think "rare and valuable"? Does a diamond remind you of someone special who was born in April? Known as the "King of Gems” and once believed to be fragments of stars that had fallen to earth, diamonds can have many facets and a variety of metaphorical meanings.

 

People who love to complement their style with diamond jewelry also have many facets. Some enjoy the classics and vintage styles, while others love pieces that can easily be worn every day to add sparkle or color. The many designers who create pieces for Affinity diamond jewelry understand that when it comes to diamonds, one size doesn't fit all. Therefore, as we celebrate April, which is also known as "Diamond Month," we celebrate the myriad of facets, styles, and statements that diamond jewelry makes.

 

Large diamond studs are the go-to earrings for many celebrities. So, if you like the idea of making a red-carpet statement, you’ll love J267495, set in yellow or white 14K gold. All of the diamonds are full cut for maximum sparkle, but the precision-set cluster makes the diamonds look 56 times larger than their actual total weight. They're definitely eye-catching earrings and you'll wear them all the time. This item will be airing in the April 1st Diamond Jewelry By Affinity show at 4:00 PM EST.

“Past, present, and future” is a classic way to remember and mark a special occasion. Diamonds are the perfect gift for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or the birth of a childto name only a few important events. Additionally, there's a profound significance to the number three for many people. If you love 3-stone styling, I think you’ll agree that J267622 is spectacular. 1-carat total diamond weight has been set into a halo-design 3-stone setting. The 14K gold ring is offered in classic yellow or white gold, or a chic new rose gold that’s amazing.
