I have been associated with RB from the past 15 years. My first jewelry at RB was an earring (Ruby/Diamond) and it’s still as beautiful as before. RB excels in quality products, design aspect and customer service. I have seen products from India and other countries but I have always found the best ones at RB. Even though we returned product after purchasing it, we found same level of respect from staffs at each visit. My relatives and friends at parties ask me about the place where I made my jewelries and I recommend RB to them. They have visited and given me positive feedback as well. I have always found good environment and customer care at RB and in future, I would like to see more new products and latest designs
HOW ARE DIAMONDS MADE? WHERE ARE DIAMONDS FOUND?
Mined diamonds are formed deep in the Earth's mantle. The exact time it takes varies because some materialize in days, weeks or months. Others can take millions of years.Formed by intense heat and pressure, diamonds are then delivered to the Earth’s surface by deep-source volcanic eruptions or the movement of sub-duction zones that bring the diamonds up to the ocean floor. FUN FACT: Diamonds can also be formed from the immense heat and pressure of asteroid strikes.
WHAT ARE DIAMONDS MADE OF?
One might say coal that has been subjected to high temperature and pressure. This is false!
Chemically and physically, diamonds that are mined or manufactured are the same. For over a century, the technology of growing these gemstones has been experimented with but has justbeen perfected. Creating lab-made diamond versions in a modern lab using advanced technology lets us get products that are superior in quality to those that were mined in the Earth.Both mined/natural and lab grown diamonds are made of the element carbon, and are considered the hardest substances known to man.
WHAT ARE THE 4 C'S AND WHICH C IS MOST IMPORTANT?
The infamous4 C'sof diamonds... Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. Each of these characteristics defines the quality, size and sparkle of the diamond. They are the characteristics that affect the diamond's visual appearance and light performance (sparkle).
Cutis the faceting, angles and proportions that are the pure light sparkle of the diamond.
Coloris actually the whiteness of the diamond, the less the better.
Clarityis the size and position of microscopic imperfections in the diamond.
Caratis a reflection of the weight (and size) of the diamond. Because carat is the most visual C - it doesn't require a gemologist's eye to see which diamond is smaller or larger - it is the most popular. That's often why women (and men) want bigger. Bigger doesn't always mean more beautiful, but we can almost guarantee that the larger the diamond, the more likely it is to catch someone's eye. There's an important balance to strike though.
HOW MUCH IS A DIAMOND WORTH? MAXIMIZE YOUR DIAMOND PURCHASE VALUE
Value really comes from balancing the diamond's attributes, or (as mentioned above) the 4 C's. The best way to balance the 4 C's is consider carat on one side and cut, color and clarity on the other. As one goes up, the other may need to come down. As you calibrate these factors, you'll narrow diamond options as they come into your price range. That will find you a sweet spot. The average carat is about 0.70ct - 1.00ct with a G or H color with a VS2 or SI1 clarity and an Excellent cut.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A DIAMOND BUDGET?
Diamond budgeting can be one of the most difficult aspects of the entire process. Diamond jewelry can start from NPR 15,000 onwards.
WHAT SHAPE SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Round brilliant cutsare overwhelmingly the most popular shape, followed byprincess cut diamonds. Rounds are the classic, traditional cut that are most desired since this is typically the first large jewelry purchase. Also, because tradition is deep rooted in the concepts of marriage. The round sparkles well, hides color/inclusions and looks larger than most of the fancy shape diamonds due to lower depth percentage. Keep in mind that it carries a premium for this reason as well. If your soon to be fiance isn't the traditional type, break away and go for a cushion cut or oval cut. These are not too farfetched and very popular. If you really want to be "out there," then explore marquise or pear shaped diamonds.
