Diamond Necklace in 18K

Diamonds dazzle due to the way they handle light. Beautifully cut diamonds like this show three special optical effects: brilliance, fire, and scintillation. Brilliance describes the bright reflections of white light that make diamonds look like they are lit from within. Fire describes the rainbow flashes of diamond dispersion: light bent into rainbows like a prism. Scintillation is the spots of light that flash as the diamond moves and the pattern and contrast of bright and dark areas in a diamond: the sparkle of the diamond. Reflection, refraction, brilliance, fire, sparkle. Wearing diamonds, you are ready for the spotlight. April’s birthstone, diamond is the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversaries.

Luxurious 18K Rose gold blushes with a soft peachy color. 18K rose gold combines 75% pure gold with copper to give it its delicate pink cast. Rose gold is a beautiful complement to gemstones and flattering to the skin, too. First developed by Faberge for its famous Imperial Eggs, rose gold is as beautiful in modern designs as in antique Victorian and Retro jewelry styles.
