GEM BLEU 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.

Creating 18K white gold is jeweler’s alchemy. To make luxurious 18K white gold, 75% pure golden yellow gold is alloyed with 25% white metals, usually silver, zinc, or palladium. These metals also increase its durability and hardness. To get that bright white shine, most 18K white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.

Then they are polished facet by facet by skilled gem cutters to dance with brilliance. Gem Bleu is one of the world’s top sources for quality gemstones, from tanzanite to other exotic gems.
