     “Diamonds Are Forever” is often heard and was immortalised by shirley Bassey's title song of the James Bond movie of the same name. This is true! Diamond is the world’s hardest natural material and diamonds are the most durable and ever-lasting material on Earth, so, yes, diamonds really are forever thanks to their durability, or rather, the extraordinary stability, hardness and toughness of diamonds.

    Stability refers to how well the gemstone resists light, chemicals and heat; hardness describes its resistance to scratching; and toughness describes how hard it is to chip or break the gemstone. Diamonds have excellent stability and hardness, and are very tough, making them all round incredibly durable.

    Diamonds are very heat resistance. Diamond has an extremely high melting point of 3,820 degrees Kelvin. This is unsurprising given the very high temperatures and pressures under which tey are naturally formed. They are also very stable to light and are chemically inert. These features mean that diamonds have an extremely high stability.

    It is the best heat conductor of all natural elements, due to its high lattice density (number of atoms per unit volume).

    Diamond is the hardest of all known natural materials. It measures the maximum 10 on the Mohs scale, which tests material hardness by how easily a mineral can be scratched. Diamond is so hard that the next hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, corundum – a family containing both sapphire and ruby, is four times softer than diamond.

    Because softer minerals cannot scratch harder minerals, and diamonds are the hardest known natural material, they cannot be easily scratched, making them perfect for setting into jewellery. However, a harder diamond can scratch a less hard diamond, and so different diamond jewellery pieces should be kept separately in cloth pouches in a jewellery box.

    Although a diamond is very tough and will not easily break, a diamond can be broken, or cleaved, if it is hit very hard with a blow that splits it along its crystalline structure. Ruby, sapphire and alexandrite are all tougher gemstones than diamond.

    To enhance diamond's natural toughness, a good quality cut diamond will have its outer rim (girdle) left thick enough to prevent chipping. and its cutlet (the pointed end of a diamond) not so pointed that breakage could occur during the setting process.

    So now you know what makes a diamond inspire a song like "Diamonds Are Forever", why not add some to your fine jewellery collection and make sure they are truely everlasting by passing them onto future generations. Start a family heirloom tradition!

  • Gold Hoop Earrings are Fine Jewellery Essentials

    11:21 AM PST, 1/17/2008

    A fine pair of gold earrings is an essential for every jewellery collection because they can be worn time and again and then passed down to future generations.  A pair of gold hoop earrings is especially versatile.

    This auction item from EHJewels is an especially beautiful pair of creole style hallmarked 14ct, 14K yellow gold hoop earrings.  The design is slightly elongated and is shaped to a gently chamfered edge.  Cradled inside the hoop, and visible from the side is a small five-pint star with blue enamelling to both sides.  This attention to enamel detail and the unusual non-symmetrical shape of the star makes these creole gold hoops well worth a look.

    Grab yourself a fantastic auction bargain with a pair of gemset citrine stud earrings!

    Citrine occurs naturally in proximity to Amethyst and the two are related quartz crystals. In places the two varieties occur so closely together that they cannot be separated and are faceted and mounted together as Amytrine.

    Citrine is the yellow variety of macrocrystalline Quartz and takes its name from "citron", the French word for yellow. Citrine gets its colour from the presence of iron in the quartz. It ranges from pastel yellow, known as "lemon citrine" to the stronger, deeper hues of "mandarin" and "Madeira citrine". Whereas Madeira Citrine has been much sought after in the past, more recently lemon citrine has risen to be a very popular choice.

    These fabulous stud earrings from EHJewels Fine Jewellery Auctions are circular lemon citrines set into 10K Yellow Gold. And at a starting price of over 70% OFF RRP, they are a Massive Saving and would make a fantastic gift for Valentine's Day.

    Citrine is one of November's Birthstones but this fantastic stone can be enjoyed by anyone. Add them to your fine jewellery collection!

    A piece of gemset jewellery has always been a prized item in a fine jewellery collection and around a decade ago, the demand was mostly for the classic precious gemstones, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and to a lesser extent, garnets and opals.  But no more!  Although these traditionally precious gemstones are still highly prized, increasingly women are looking to include the more unusual gemstones in their fine jewellery pieces.  One such gemstone is peridot.

    Pronounced "pair-ee-doh", peridot was popular in early Greek and Roman jewellery and Cleopatra's renowned "emerald" collection is now thought to have been mostly comprised of peridot gemset jewellery!  

    There are also many myths of peridots having the power to cure asthma, reduce fevers and increase the potency of medicines.  These  fabled powers may arise from one the more unusal peridot origins.  Although mined on Earth in Tanzania, Kenya , South Africa and other locations, the most unusual peridot comes from meteorites!  Known as pallasites, some meteor peridot is reputed to have been facetted and set into jewellery!  This means peridot is truely an extraterrestrial gemstone!

    Peridot ranges in colour from golden lime greens to rich grass greens and from light yellow-green to deep olive.  It is widely admired for its sunlit citrus glows and has come to symolise warmth and charity.  It is also August's birthstone.  

    Go on, add a piece of eyecatching peridot gemset jewellery to your fine jewellery collection!

    A gold bracelet is a must in every collection of fine jewellery collection and one that is just that little bit different can say so much about the wearer.  Choosing an unusual link is one way to do this.

    The way a gold bracelet is linked together can take many forms.  Some of the most common link types are the curb link, the Singapore link, which is a type of curb link but with a permanent twist introduced into it, a belcher link, the figaro link (a form of belcher link in which larger and smaller links are joined together in a set pattern) and the box link. 

    This auction is for a 14ct 14K yellow gold bracelet with an exceptionally unusual link.  It is made up from three tiny cubes, joined together in a fixed line, each triplet being joined to its neighbouring triplet on a diagonal.  The whole effect is extremely pretty and catches the light well.  It will draw admiring glances whenever worn and, although delicate, this bracelet will noneheless make a significant statement of individuality and elegance!

    A gold bangle or bracelet in fine quality gold is definitely something every woman wants in her fine jewellery collection. And with yellow gold and white gold being widely available, a bangle or bracelet in rose gold makes the piece just that little bit different and makes and impact statement.

    Rose gold is actually a pure 'yellow gold' mixed with a copper alloy according to its purity. This means that 14ct rose gold is 52.5% pure gold and 47.5% copper alloy, and 18ct rose gold is 75% pure gold and 25% copper alloy. Rose gold is widely used for specialized jewellery, and is prized for its reddish colour tint. Jewellery made from rose gold, is sometimes also known as pink gold or red gold, and because it is much less common than either white or yellow gold, is a rarity and very collectible.

    Searching for rose gold on the web can also be difficult and time consuming, making this exquisite 10ct (10K) rose gold bangle doubly worth a close look. The fine diamond cut pattern surrounding all but the smooth inside edge catches the light and makes it a very beautiful piece.

    If you are looking for something different to add to your fine jewellery collect, why not make a statement with a piece of fine rose gold?
