EFFY 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.

In gold-loving Italy, 18K yellow gold is the most popular precious metal. That’s because it’s 75% pure gold, with the rich buttery color that we think of when we picture gold. That’s more gold than the 58.5% you’ll find in 14K gold jewelry. It’s more expensive than 14K gold too, of course, because it has more intrinsic value. Most high-end jewelry brands work in 18k gold because they feel it is more luxurious and the best gold alloy.
