Diamond rings are of particular importance in the jewelry industry. These are amazing products that are distinguished by their unique shine, perfect play of light and pure radiance. There is probably no such person who would not like to have a diamond ring. It rightfully becomes a “favorite” in the jewelry collection and, of course, plays a separate role in the image.
The most popular are engagement rings with diamonds, in gold, and unique masterpieces of jewelry with a black-colored gem.
How to wear diamonds correctly?
There are many rules regarding how to wear diamonds correctly. If you want to have jewelry with such a stone or you already have it, then you must know these rules and try to follow them. This is the only way you won’t look tasteless from the outside.
If you believe history, then back in the 19th century only married girls and women could wear diamonds. But the girl who was not married received her own precious stone from the groom at the engagement - it was a wedding ring.
It was also allowed to wear diamond jewelry after 5 p.m., and for morning and daytime outings it was recommended to wear sapphire, pearl, ruby, and turquoise jewelry. Young girls could only wear semi-precious stones.
Rules for wearing diamonds
Currently, such rules practically do not exist in our lives. We will consider those that are relevant specifically for our time.
To work:
- You can wear elegant jewelry with small diamonds or diamond chips.
- Large diamonds should not be worn in earrings or rings.
- At a business meeting, a bracelet with this stone will be superfluous.
- A thin chain, decorated with a diamond pendant up to 1.5 cm, is allowed. It goes very well with a semi-open and open neckline.
- You can wear stud earrings with small stones.
- You cannot wear a massive diamond necklace or long dangling earrings.
- Brooches are prohibited at all. There is, however, an exception - a thin twig on the left side of the jacket (but chains are prohibited in this case).
- It is not advisable to wear diamond jewelry that resembles your zodiac sign.
Purpose of wearing jewelry
Purpose and type of jewelry:
- A solid diamond necklace can only be worn in the evening, paired with an elegant dress. The dress itself should look like this - open shoulders, neckline or semi-neckline.
- Large round stones on rings are suitable only for accomplished women.
- Young and slender girls should prefer bracelets with diamond chips and elongated dangling earrings that do not harmonize with a wide and massive neck. In general, it is advisable to choose earrings taking into account your hairstyle. A large diamond is ideal for a full hairstyle, medium and small stones are ideal for a short haircut.
- It is advisable to wear the bracelet on your left hand. The brooch is on the left side. A large brooch with a large stone is best worn by luxurious ladies, but young ladies should choose a more sophisticated option that will emphasize the subtlety of their nature.
- Diamond jewelry should not be worn over outer clothing. You can attach it, for example, to a scarf or scarf.
Can you wear diamonds every day?
The most popular accessory with diamonds for men is a wristwatch. But you can also meet representatives of the stronger half who prefer cufflinks and rings.
Fortunately, the fashion when men wore gold chains with crosses studded with diamonds is a thing of the past. Of course, the men's jewelry set has become significantly smaller. Sometimes diamond bracelets appear and they are very interesting.
Expensive decoration
There is no exact fashion in diamond jewelry for women and girls. It’s been a long time since there have been exhibitions where you can go, look at jewelry and choose something interesting for yourself. Basically, women's jewelry is produced based on famous films. Accordingly, new ideas and breakthroughs in jewelry are only stagnating.
There is no such thing as “everyday jewelry.” You can choose for yourself the diamond jewelry that you like best. But there is one main rule that you should follow - it is not recommended to wear diamond jewelry every day. This is considered bad manners.
Diamonds in jewelry
For example, you come to the bank, and you are greeted by a girl administrator with a sparkling diamond necklace on her neck. This is not entirely correct. After all, diamonds are considered evening stones. And they usually work perfectly with candles and special lighting. Wear such jewelry only for special occasions.
On which finger and on which hand should men and women wear a ring and a diamond ring?
As a rule, a diamond ring is usually worn on the ring finger of the left or right hand. But there are other quite important rules:
- Diamond rings do not like “competitors”, so you should never wear it with ordinary jewelry.
- It is not recommended to wear another ring on one finger in addition to the engagement ring with a diamond. Even if it also has a small diamond. Such a combination is considered unacceptable.
- Diamond rings can also be worn on the middle finger or index finger. But it is not advisable to wear it on the little finger or thumb. This rule must be followed by both women and men.
- Of course, there are exceptions. Men who love signet rings can easily wear such jewelry on their left hand, on their little finger.

This is a riviera necklace - this is the name given to products consisting of identical stones. In this case, there are 34 square cut diamonds, and the setting consists of gold and platinum. At one time, the necklace adorned the evening dresses of Queen Mary, and was later presented to her granddaughter, Princess Margaret, sister of the now reigning British queen.

Blue diamond ring
This 6.17-carat stone is in a private collection and sold for $1,000.
Brooch of Empress Eugenie
This brooch was made in the 1850s for the French Empress Eugenie. This is a purely feminine decoration in the form of a bow - a fashionable form at that time. For a long time it was in a private collection. In 2008, it was bought for $10.5 million for the Louvre and the jewel returned to France.
Diamond Kullian
A unique piece of jewelry with one blue cut diamond was purchased at auction for $9.69 million.
Pink ring Graff
The pink diamond that served as the basis for the jewelry was mined in the mines of South Africa. The decoration with a stone of amazing purity is complemented by other diamonds, so its cost was 11.8 million dollars.
Diamond Wittelsbach-Graff
This stone has a long history - the first mention of it dates back to 1664. Until 200 years ago it was part of the Bavarian crown and remained so until the end of the First World War. The stone, weighing more than 35 carats, is currently owned by Lawrence Graf, who bought it for $24.3 million in 2008. A similar cushion diamond will not cost much less, even without a rich history.
Bulgari double diamond ring

Unset Heart Shaped Diamond
Looking at photos of jewelry, we admire their thin frame, which often becomes a work of art. But this heart-shaped fragment has not yet received a frame.

In 2011, this luxurious jewel was sold for $11 million at auction.
Pink Graff
As you know, chic jewelry is not only a tribute to fashion, but also a good investment. Representatives of auction houses always expect to receive a large sum for them, but this ring exceeded all expectations. In 2010, the jewelry was sold for $46.2 million to jeweler Lawrence Graff. The greatest value here is the stone itself, weighing 24.78 carats, which, in addition to its unusual color, is distinguished by its rare purity. Even a 3 carat diamond ring of this quality would be expensive. In this jewelry masterpiece, the size of the jewel is considered unprecedented. And photography can’t even convey its natural beauty.
Diamond beads
History shows that the most beautiful jewelry does not have to be made from diamonds. Technically, this necklace consists of jadeite beads secured with a platinum and gold clasp and adorned with diamond and ruby. This piece of jewelry was created by the house of Cartier. Officially, it is called the Hatton-Mdivani necklace, named after its owners. In 1997, a luxurious necklace of three dozen beads was sold at auction for $9.3 million in Hong Kong.
In order to choose jewelry, you can analyze the carats of diamonds using the table, the price of the product and study its history using the certificate. Jewelry with expensive stones can be a good investment.

What is the best way to wear diamonds: a ring or a pendant?
No one gives a clear answer to this question. Some people prefer rings with diamonds, while others prefer pendants. If you don't know what to choose and what wears better, then buy both options.
Diamond pendant:
- Of course, when choosing this decoration, consider only your own preferences. But don't rely on these feelings alone. If you are not particularly knowledgeable about such jewelry, then it is advisable for you to choose with a professional consultant.
- For daily wear, choose a small diamond pendant. The length of the chain will depend on the neckline of your clothing. This decoration goes well with a light-colored pencil skirt, an airy blouse, and small studs. This combination looks quite formal and feminine.
- You can also wear a diamond pendant with a V-neck. An excellent option is a jumpsuit made of flowing black material.
Diamond Pendants
Diamond Ring:
- When choosing a diamond ring, you can also take into account your desires. The only thing you should remember is what you will wear the selected ring with.
- The ring goes well with a classic suit, a plain and not bright blouse, or a simple black dress. Such clothes will be able to emphasize the grace of the stone and at the same time make people around you marvel at the beauty of your overall image.
Diamond pendant
Confused? Then you better choose diamond sets consisting of a ring, bracelet, earrings and a small pendant. If you are married, then a ring will suit you, but if you are still looking for your soulmate, then a pendant.
Ring with black diamond
A ring with a black diamond is a unique creation, which, perhaps, has no equal. Such decoration will emphasize the excellent taste of its owner and help create a refined and elegant image.
Unlike its transparent counterparts, the peculiarity of the black mineral is its matte surface, as if velvety. This characteristic makes the gem popular not only among women, but also among men. Strict men's signets are especially popular. In general, many centuries ago, black diamond was considered a stone exclusively for men, and women were allowed to wear it only after 40 years. This condition was put forward due to the fact that a black gem, especially framed in gold, has powerful energy that strengthened the spirit and inner strength, which was not particularly welcomed by women. Even now, jewelry with a black diamond can often be found among representatives of the stronger sex. It adds masculinity and severity to the image.
A diamond ring, whether for women or men, is perfect for any occasion. This could be a business meeting, important negotiations, a trip to a restaurant or theater, or a magnificent gala event.

Gold ring with diamond
Diamond is a precious stone. For this reason, an appropriate frame is chosen for him. It is rare to find rings with a gem in silver or even 375 or 500 gold. They are usually set in the highest quality metal, be it gold or platinum.
Rings with a gem of any shade in gold are the best gift for a young girl or woman. But it is worth noting that not all models look harmonious due to one age or another:
- For little girls, it is better to choose minimalist jewelry. This could be a product with a small pink or blue pebble. It is worth remembering that in general the stone is intended for older representatives of the fair sex. If you still decide to give such a ring to your child, try to choose laconic models with a small gem so that it looks more harmonious and appropriate.
- Classic models are more suitable for young girls. They are also not massive, and are suitable for any occasion. You can also pay attention to cocktail rings. They are often made in the shape of an animal, butterflies, dragonfly, fish or flower. In addition to diamond, the product can be decorated with other minerals.
- For older women, the best solution would be massive products that include a large-sized gem made in a classic diamond cut. Such jewelry will certainly become a “highlight” in the image and emphasize all the charms of age. Of course, we should not exclude classic models that will never go out of fashion.

Do pawn shops accept diamonds?
Diamond jewelry, of course, is accepted at almost every pawnshop. After all, as a rule, such establishments have professional appraisers who can distinguish a precious stone from a fake. It is true that there are pawn shops where diamond jewelry is not valued at all.
Diamonds are accepted at the pawnshop
We invite you to study some points on how to properly hand over diamond jewelry and what nuances you should take into account:
- If the amount that you are offered for the jewelry is very small, then it is advisable for you to contact another pawnshop. But you also have the right to ask another specialist to evaluate the diamond.
- If you decide to donate expensive diamond jewelry, then you need to check in advance whether the establishment you have chosen can accept such expensive jewelry. After all, the pawnshop does not always have the necessary financial resources.
- If you still have doubts, then it is advisable for you to contact the pawnshop that cooperates with the jewelry store or is its subsidiary.

Rings with rough diamonds convey the beauty of natural stone like no other. These are usually small gems that have experienced little or no human intervention.

In such accessories, the stone shines less than if it had been cut and polished. But this in no way makes it any less attractive or valuable. Rather, on the contrary, the whole essence of such products lies in such uniqueness.
Can unmarried girls wear diamonds?
Many argue that unmarried girls should not wear diamond jewelry. This statement is not entirely correct. It’s just that an unmarried girl, according to European etiquette, is not allowed to wear a diamond ring or jewelry that contains a lot of diamonds.
You are allowed to wear a small pendant or pendant, because this is normal. And all because a diamond ring is considered a symbol of engagement. And the representative who already has a diamond ring on her finger shows that marriage awaits her in the near future.

Which gold is better for diamonds?
A diamond is a very expensive piece of jewelry; the brilliance of its facets is unique. When choosing a cut, it should be taken into account that a well-chosen framing material will enhance this property:
- Platinum. For edging, jewelers prefer platinum. It combines effectively with precious stones and emphasizes their radiance. High degree of wear resistance.
- White gold. In addition to silver and nickel, grams of the alloy contain platinum. It is highly valued among jewelry connoisseurs for its sophistication, beautiful shade and shine.
- Gold. High-grade metal does not have wear resistance. For a strong stone, an alloy of low standard, with a large number of impurities, is suitable.
When selecting frame options, the shape and color of the jewelry are taken into account. But a classic platinum setting will complement any diamond.
When purchasing a gemstone weighing more than 1 carat, you should request a gemological passport with the characteristics of the product. Jewelers recognize that a well-cut diamond is a better investment than gold. After all, a crystal does not lose its qualities for many years and does not go out of fashion, unlike gold jewelry.
Is it possible to wear someone else's diamonds?
Diamonds that previously belonged to someone are usually called energy surprises. The gemstone has its own biofield, so it can also be supplemented by the energy of the previous owner. No one knows what the impact of the merging of such biofields will be. Accordingly, before you plan to wear such jewelry, be sure to clean the stone.
Stones have strong energy
A diamond that you inherit, for example, from your grandmother, is considered a very powerful talisman. This stone has powerful protective powers than the diamond you buy yourself. But this is only if you receive the jewelry after the death of a loved one. It’s another matter if your relatives give you a diamond during your lifetime. Such a stone does not carry negative energy with it.
Photo of brooches with diamonds
A diamond brooch is an exquisite and multifunctional piece of jewelry. Such brooches can have a decorative function. They perfectly emphasize the individuality of style.
They can decorate the collars of blouses, the edges of scarves and shawls, capes, blouses and so on. A brooch is an accessory designed for those women who want to add completeness and elegance to their image.
The variety of brooches is simply mesmerizing. Currently, you can choose a brooch at your discretion in any jewelry store: according to shape, style, manner of execution. Jewelers boldly experiment with both materials and styles. There are three types of brooches according to the type of fastening:
- Brooches-pins. They are considered mega-popular. This decoration can have a flower or a small bouquet. It can be easily attached to a light scarf, handbag, jacket or raincoat collar.
- Brooches-hairpins. Such jewelry can be used to decorate not only clothes, but also hairstyle.
- Needle brooches. These brooches are attached to clothing using a special needle. They differ from the other two types in their lightness and refined beauty. Ideal for decorating a coat or hat.

Diamond brooches are a classic option that is suitable for aristocratic natures and true connoisseurs of precious jewelry. Such brooches do not harmonize with a knitted sweater and sportswear, as well as with a dress with colorful patterns.
How much is gold worth
Jewelry does not contain pure aurum, but a properly selected mixture of common and precious metals. The amount of pure gold per gram determines the value of the alloy.
Aurum without impurities is not used in the jewelry industry because of its softness; polishing on such a product is short-lived. The amount of other metals in the mass of the product determines the sample and the cost per gram. Silver, zinc, copper, palladium, and nickel are used as additives in casting. 24-karat gold without impurities has a purity of 999 and an average price per gram of 2,600 rubles. Metal of 375 standard includes silver and copper, costs about 1000 rubles.
Is it worth wearing a found diamond?
A diamond can reach a person in a variety of ways. But is it allowed to wear a found stone? Maybe he can bring trouble with him? The new owner of the jewelry will not even know that his ring or bracelet previously belonged to another person.
Why is it necessary to know the history of a product? And all because the product has the ability to preserve and accumulate the energy of the previous owner.
Typically, most diamond jewelry is made of pure gold. This precious metal can store energy information that it receives from a person. If such jewelry is worn close to the skin, it will share the energy it has accumulated.
You should not wear found jewelry
If you have found a diamond, then you should know that this piece of jewelry can be very dangerous. You don’t know its past, who previously wore it, what difficulties in life the stone went through, and for what exact reason the previous owner lost it. Often, diamonds are subject to magical rituals, for example, conspiracy, damage.
Also, a harmless diamond ring can be a repository of diseases and various adversities. Therefore, if you find a diamond, try to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Which is better: diamond or gold?
The mineral of the highest density is translated from Greek as “indestructible.” This is an erroneous concept; a diamond is a strong stone, but fragile.
To obtain a real luxury item, a complex processing method is used, during which from 57 to 240 facets are made on a suitable specimen. The rarity of the stone is emphasized by its cutting, which gives it a special shine. Considering the hardness of the mineral and the complexity of working with it, sometimes the work of a jeweler is more expensive than the product itself.
Aurum is a ductile, stainless metal used in instrument making, dentistry, and the jewelry industry. Jewelry made from it fascinates with its beauty, it is durable, does not corrode, and does not fade.
Each of these jewels is considered a piece of exquisite taste, and their combination will highlight each other's advantages.
It is impossible to say unequivocally what is better - cut diamond or gold. Indeed, in addition to cost and technical characteristics, subjective assessment and personal preferences play a big role.
The largest diamond in the world: photo, description
The largest diamond known to date is the Cullinan . It weighs just over 621 g. When it was removed, they realized that this stone was part of a larger mineral. But, unfortunately, they could not find him. In England, a jeweler cut the stone. As a result, several large diamonds and almost 100 small ones were obtained.
Cullinan
The largest modern diamond is the Great Star of Africa. Its weight is a little more than 530 carats. It adorns the scepter of Britain.
Great Star of Africa
But it was supplanted by the even larger mineral "Golden Jubilee" , found in 1980. This stone was not noticed for a long period of time, so it was given to Gabriel Tolkowsky, who masterfully processed it. Now this gem adorns the Thai crown.

The most beautiful and expensive diamonds in the world: photos, description
The most expensive and beautiful diamond in the whole world is considered to be a stone called “Pink Star” . This is a large pink diamond, weighing almost 60 carats. It was sold at auction in 2013 for almost $83,000,000, thereby breaking all records for diamond prices. But a little later, information appeared that the buyer was not able to pay for this decoration, so Sotheby's bought it for $72,000,000.
"Pink Star"
The most expensive diamond
There are several criteria for evaluating cut diamonds:
- The main characteristic that affects the cost is purity, taking into account transparency, color, gas-liquid inclusions, and the presence of microcracks.
- The next criterion is the quality of the cut. The mineral has a high density, this requires skill in processing, the labor intensity of the process affects the cost.
- The weight of the processed mineral is measured in carats; 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.
- The high price is not always determined by its mass. What matters is uniqueness, a special play of light, and if the stone has its own “history”, this will increase its price.
One of the largest processed diamonds decorates the scepter of the Queen of England. Its value is unknown, it weighs more than 100 carats.
The most expensive stone, the Pink Star, was sold at auction for $83 million. Weight - more than 59 carats.
