We all know that diamonds are a girls best friend. It is said that Cupids arrows were tipped with diamonds, while some others call it tears of gods. In essence, diamonds are the real classical glitterati. Especially those preparing for their D-day want nothing but the best and what better than diamonds!
Diamond engagement rings are the first preference of any bride-to-be. Both engagement and Wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime event, needs to be celebrated and rejoiced. Jewellery forms an integral part of the wedding day, and its not just rings, but also necklaces, bangles and earrings and even diamond tiaras.
Diamond earrings are a forever classic, enhances ones facial look, makes one look royal and pretty. Above all, it fits all budgets depending on the size and quality.
The size of the diamond depends on ones budget, taste and style. But the amount of money one wants to spend should not be the only criterion to select the size of the diamond earrings; rather one should also look into what complements ones look. With many styles in stock from halo style earrings, curved styles, drop earrings, hoop earrings, solitaire fancy shape diamond earrings, most with GIA certificates, Marlows is the one stop shop to come to for diverse styles that suit all designs and budgets.
Like diamond earrings, diamond rings could also come at an inexpensive rate. Rather than selecting solitaire diamond rings, three stone diamond rings, or halo set diamond rings can be an option. A Trilogy or Halo design is as popular as the Solitaire these days. Engagement rings come in a wide range and so one has a lot to select from... And not just that, there are also coloured diamonds that have become everyones favourite in the past few years. Coloured diamonds and gemstones have become an extremely popular alternative to the classic white diamond engagement ring.
Such is the fantasy of diamonds that not just women, but men also from all over the world wear it. Symbol of beauty, elegance and glamour is no more associated with feminism. The graceful and glittering stone is also known to enhance mens looks. Diamonds come studded in mens watches, bracelets and also earrings. For men, the preferred is solitaire ear studs rather than fancy diamonds earrings. Men who believe that style is not just for women find their best friends in diamonds. So, shopping for weddings is not just limited to women buying diamonds for themselves, they have also become a fashion accessory for men of all ages. There is already a shift from men buying diamonds for women to women buying it for men as diamonds are universal.
Confusion regarding the quality of diamonds is no big issue at Marlows if it is a Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) certified diamond. GIA, a specialist institute that studies and performs research in the field of gemmology, certifies diamonds looking at their overall quality. Diamonds are sent to laboratories for evaluation where they undergo certification; each certificate issued is uniquely numbered, most of the diamonds being laser inscribed with the certificate number on the girdle fo the diamond itself. This valuable certificate informs the buyer of the quality as promised. So, GIA certified diamonds should be preferred over the ones with none or generic certified ones which rarely hold value.
