Black Diamonds! Yes Please!

22 May

Carbonado, commonly known as black diamonds are growing in popularity. Let’s start by saying that diamonds come in an array of beautiful colors and black diamonds are REAL diamonds, they just have a different crystalline structure. The single crystalline structure of a conventional diamond is what causes the sparkle. Light comes in, bounces around and is bounced out. They are cut in a way to put “windows” precisely where the light will be able to come out best giving it the “fire” that you see. Black diamonds however have a Polycrystalline structure kind of like a bunch of diamonds smashed together. Since they’re all at different angles, they cannot be carved to create sparkles, instead the light gets absorbed making it black. Black diamonds still have a pretty sparkle all their own subtle, yet bold.

The origin of black diamonds is controversial, the National Science Foundation states that carbonado originated in outer space. Whatever the case may be, I’m in love with black diamonds and they’re edgy-chic vibe. They always make a strong statement. I am also a fan of jewelry that involves pave’.   Pave’ involves setting small diamonds  side by side on a piece of jewelry. The diamonds are so close together that it looks as though the surface is covered in diamonds. The original french word  is pronounced pahvay and meant pave, as in paving streets. As for jewelry it will look like it’s literally been paved with diamonds, SO PRETTY!

My favorite pieces right now.

Rose Gold Love

16 Apr

I may be the biggest fan of rose gold on earth……. My very first diamond ring was a black hills gold ring for my 15th birthday. It was a yellow and rose gold setting with one teeny tiny diamond, I fell in love when I saw that ring. My mom opened up a can of worms with that one for sure. I have never stopped loving rose gold since that day. My wedding set is rose gold, so I’m committed for life. I have seen rose gold go in and out of style and it’s been back in style for a couple of years now and I am excited about it. I will be rocking the rose gold  even if it goes “out” of style again, hopefully it doesn’t. Anyways enough about my obsession and onto the facts!   Whether it is costume or the real deal, every woman should own at least one rose gold accessory.  Rose gold is versatile, classic, feminine and modern. It goes with yellow and silver metals and looks great on all skin tones. Here are some beautiful styles to shop.
