Diamond Jewelry

Sparkly diamond necklaces, available in natural tones and blacks are the perfect addition to your jewelry wardrobe. Lovely by day, romantic by evening.

Keep your diamond jewelry looking sparkly by washing it daily. Use a soft toothbrush and some liquid dish detergent or Windex and gently massage the underneath of your gemstones. All gemstones attract grease which dust immediately sticks to. All you need to do is cut that grease and your gems will sparkle like new!

Or come in and see us and we’ll give it a thorough inspection for security and a good ultrasonic and steam cleaning.

Diamond, April Birthstone

Diamond is the hardest mineral on earthand the only gem that is 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Diamond is an exceptionally durable jewelry gemstone. Diamond puts the forever in wedding jewelry.

Diamond has a high refractive index giving it the most scintillation (sparkle) of any gemstone other than Zircon.

Diamond forms under high temperature and pressure conditions that exist only about 100 miles beneath the earth’s surface. Diamond’s carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Another mineral, graphite, also contains only carbon, but its formation process and crystal structure are very different. Graphite is so soft that you can write with it, while diamond is so hard that you can only scratch it with another diamond.

Diamond, April Birthstone

Diamond is April’s Birthstone and the gem that marks the 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries. It is 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, the hardest mineral on earth, making it the best gemstone for jewelry, especially rings. It’s no wonder Diamond has been promoted as being “forever”.

Diamond forms under high temperature and presure conditions that exist only within a specific depth range (about 100 miles) beneath the earth’s surface. Diamond’s crystal structure is isometric, which means the carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Another mineral, graphite, also contains only carbon, but its formation process and crystal structure are very different. The result is that graphite is so soft that you can write with it, while diamond is so hard that you can only scratch it with another diamond.
