Diamond, the most adorable precious stone, is the only gem composed of just one element. It has only carbon in its chemical structure, and the molecules of carbon are formed in a way that each is bonded to another with perfect symmetry in every direction. This extraordinary atomic structure is responsible for the hardness of diamond, with a value of 10 on Moh's scale. It is hard because only a tool made from another diamond can cut a diamond. Its name is derived from the Greek word "adámas", meaning unbreakable or unalterable. In addition to its wondrous hardness, it is also famous for its perfect lustre and high dispersion rate of visible light.
Diamond Engagement Rings
Diamonds were firstly found and mined in India 2,400 years ago. Since then, it has become the first commercial producer of diamonds. Today, they are mined in other countries like South Africa, Brazil, Canada and Australia. In ancient Roman and Greek eras, the diamond was believed to be the tears of God or the broken parts of stars fallen down the earth. Diamond was first mentioned in Roman literature in the 1st Century AD, which stated that diamonds covered the tips of Cupid's arrows. They wore diamonds as talismans since they believed them to offer protection against evil. That belief is derived from Indian mythology in which diamonds were believed to be created from bolted lightning struck rocks. Moreover, in the 13th century, a law in France prohibited people from wearing diamonds except for Kings and Queens.
Diamond Necklaces
The Archduke of Austria gave the first diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy in 1477. The diamond is referred to as the queen of the gems and the gem of queens; and is generally associated with being a symbol of power, strength, innocence and incorruptibility, longevity, constancy and good fortune. It is also the birthstone of April and is used as an official 60th wedding anniversary gemstone. At Glamira, diamonds have a special place in jewellery designs and are selected according to some criteria. The first and most important step in choosing a diamond is compliance with the ethical commitment that it must be 100% conflict-free.

The colour of a diamond refers to the combination of three components: hue, saturation and tone. The colour-grading scale for diamonds ranges from D to Z.. A perfect diamond, known as D colour, has no colour at all. H colour is the most suitable colour grade according to both the best price-performance ratio and the best harmony with designs. That’s why at Glamira, diamonds in H colour are generally used. Diamond cut refers to the symmetry, proportioning and polish of a diamond which are adjusted during the cut process of the gemstone after it has been mined from the earth. All are done to deliver the magnificent return of light in a diamond. The cut is divided into 3 different grades; proportions, polish and symmetry. The cut range contains 5 grades; Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor. On the other hand diamond shape, which is generally confused with diamond cut, indicates a style or design used when shaping a diamond for polishing such as the princess-cut diamond. At Glamira, you can find many shapes of diamonds including princess, brilliant, round, trillion, cushion, heart, oval and emerald which you can use to customise your pieces As the result of carbon exposed to tremendous heat and pressure deep in the earth, all natural diamonds have a variety of internal traces called ‘inclusions’ and external traces called ‘blemishes’. Diamond clarity refers to a diamond’s purity and the criteria on clarity includes determining the number of these traces, their sizes, relief and position. To find an ideal price/quality ratio, it is important to know that tiny inclusions in the VVS1 to SI2 clarity grading scale cannot be noticeable to the naked eye. Glamira always uses the diamonds in VS (very slightly inclusions) clarity in its jewellery. And diamond carat is a measure to determine the size of a diamond according to its weight. It is one fifth of a gram (0.2 g) and a 1-carat diamond weighs 100 points.

Glamira creates unique diamond jewellery of necklaces, earrings, cufflinks and engagement rings and leave them upon your palms in order for you to customise them according to your fashion appetites. Diamond earrings including drops, hoops or diamond stud earrings are one of the best options you can personalise as you wish and carry to underline the brilliance of your beauty.
