Warming up your Jewelry with Gemesis Diamonds

May 4, 2009

An interesting jewelry trend these last few years has been the "warming up" of colors contained within the pieces. These warm colors consist of many names but may include:

• scarlet
• tumbleweed
• dandelion

None of these colors are primary colors – they are secondary or tertiary colors.

Here's an example of a classic, warm-toned piece that can only enhance your wardrobe:

.99ct
deep fancy yellow cushion cut Gemesis diamond of SI clarity set into an
18kt white gold milgrain bezel pendant, featuring .05ct t.w. of bezel
set white diamonds on a delicate 18" cable chain.
 
Metal: 18kt White Gold

A Brief Lesson in Gemesis Diamonds

April 29, 2009

Gemesis cultured diamonds are becoming increasingly popular for a vast array of reasons but the main ones include extremely high quality, affordable price and ecological conscientiousness. The consumer of today wants to feel decked out in jewels but in a way that's in step with our time.

Gemesis began creating diamonds in its laboratories in the 1990's. According to Wikipedia:

Since then, the quality and craftsmanship of their product has steadily increased. We have a wide array of Gemesis diamond jewelry to choose from – or better yet, tell us what you'd like to create and we can make your dream piece for you.

The Genesis of Gemesis

So what is Gemesis and why is it causing such a stir in the market?

Well, let's explore what Gemesis is not, first:

• It is not a diamond imitation, like cubic zirconia
• It is not as expensive as mined diamonds
• It is not lacking in brilliance, fire or hardness as a mined diamond

Gemesis is a laboratory-grown diamond of exceptional color and clarity. It is considered a "cultured" diamond but a diamond nonetheless.

How does one "grow" a diamond?

With a diamond seed, of course! Seriously. The seed is placed in a carbon-rich environment, heated and pressurized, then begins to grow, molecule by molecule into a beautiful gem.

 A diamond seed (do not try this in your garden!)

Gemesis diamonds can be produced in a myriad of rich, inviting colors such as yellow, pink, blue, green, or even red. In these times, customers are looking for a quality gem and affordable prices. Gemesis offers just that, hence its success.

So what is a "Gemesis cultured diamond"? As the Gemesis Company puts it so aptly:

Hand engraved pendant with hand applied scrolls and a 3/4ct Gemesis
cultured diamond with fancy yellow or orange color on an 18" wheat
chain. Pendant measures approx. 8mm in diameter.

1/2 Price Platinum!

November 3, 2008

The price of platinum jewelry is falling and, actually, the metal is currently less
than 1/2 price. Back in February of this year we sent a
newsletter featuring the cost benefits of using alternative
metals due to platinum's high price. Well, the price of
platinum has now dropped from over $2200/oz earlier in the
year to under $900/oz as of today. Now is a great time to take
advantage of this unusual situation and have a platinum
anniversary band, a platinum engagement ring or any other
piece of platinum jewelry made. Visit our website or call us
