Natural Diamonds

The romance of a natural diamond cannot be matched: formed within volcanic tubes over billions of years of heat and pressure, diamonds are a gorgeous rarity that signify true love and affection. Diamonds are the only gems composed of a single element, carbon. Yet despite their homogenous chemical makeup, each diamond is as unique as a snowflake.

Diamonds are a ten on the Mohs hardness scale, making them the hardest substance discovered. For rings and bracelets, diamonds are indispensable. They are much more resistant to scuffs and chips than other gemstones, which is one of the reasons they are a classic in engagement rings.

Natural diamonds are graded according to the 4 C’s — color, clarity, cut, and carat. They range from nearly clear to a subtle yellow color. Clarity refers to the amount of inclusions. Combined, color and clarity can help you determine how pure your diamond is. Cut tells you which shape the diamond is, and carat refers to the size (weight) of the diamond. Altogether, the 4 C’s can tell you how valuable your diamond is from a monetary point of view, but they pale in comparison to the sentimental and emotional value of a diamond.

At Brummitt Jewelry Design Studio LLC, we take finding the perfect diamond very seriously. Shop our collection to find the diamonds you’ll wear forever.

Commonly Asked Questions

We get a lot of questions about diamonds. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions:

How do you choose a diamond?

When looking for a diamond, you can consider several factors. Start with the 4 C’s and figure out what’s most important to you. Do you want a really big diamond (carat) no matter what? Or are you willing to compromise on size to get a gem that is colorless (color) and has few inclusions (clarity)? There is no right or wrong answer. Consider scheduling an appointment to talk about the diamond-buying process and get our expert advice on choosing your perfect diamond.

Are natural diamonds worth the money?

Diamonds seem pretty expensive, but keep in mind that they are a limited resource. It takes millions of years for diamonds to form and be pushed to the Earth’s crust. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide, but we think that the rarity and durability of a diamond makes them worth every penny! Diamonds can also be passed down as heirlooms for generations upon generations and re-set to create modern jewelry for everyone.

Are yellow, pink, and blue diamonds naturally colored?

Yes — diamonds are thought of as colorless, but depending on the conditions in which they were formed, they can be naturally colored. Typical diamond colors range from pink to yellow to blue and all the way to black. Pink diamonds are particularly special, as scientists still do not know what makes them pink. Yellow diamonds are formed in the presence of nitrogen, and blue diamonds include the chemical boron.

Why do natural diamonds hold their value better than lab-grown diamonds?

Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years, and therefore there is a finite supply of natural diamonds available. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, can be easily created as demand scales. Since there is a limit on the natural diamonds available, as demand increases, prices increase in response.

Brummitt Jewelry Design Studio is here to take care of all your natural diamond needs. Set up an appointment for your consultation today.
