Diamond Cross- a precious way to show your belief

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Diamonds have always been considered the most precious and popular gemstone. Any jewels having a diamond encrusted upon it had not only incredible monetary values but also had its aesthetics value. Various types of jewelry have been made out of diamonds, but a diamond cross is something different. It is a jewel that is admired the most- because it brings the pride of diamond and the divinity of cross in a single piece of treasure. Why diamond crosses are lured so much? Well there are loads of explanations given so far. But the most accepted ones are-

Schools of gem specialists believe that, the design of diamond stud cross were derived from the asterism in the south polar constellation Carina called Diamond Cross. According to Wikipedia-

      “This Diamond Cross is consisted of four bright stars called Beta Carinae, Upsilon Carinae, Theta Carinae and Omega Carinae that shines brightly creating an almost perfect diamond shape that could be a cross where the name “Diamond Cross” was taken.”

Another group of people think that, the style of diamond encrusted cross was inspired by the Jewish artifacts, where they liked having precious stone curved jewels. But the most accepting enlightenment so far has been the issue that the cross has a very religious sentiment betrothed upon it. And since the diamonds were always considered a fortune, owning a cross with diamonds on it was something a hell of aristocratic.

A good thing about a diamond cross is- it is unisexual product, i.e. the jewel can be worn by both men and women. But there is a bit about fashion these days which implies that, designs are slightly different depending on the sex of the wearer. The price of the diamond crosses depends on the quantity and the quality of the gems used and of course on the metals that has been used as the base of putting the diamonds.

At the very beginning of diamond stud cross’s history it was only the crosses, or crowns for the royal families. But later on the fondness of people for diamond crosses, set up an edge in the jewelry world. Diamond cross pendants, necklaces and earrings were there, and they were being sold like hotcakes! People loved putting on the cross as an ornament, and diamond cross ornaments gave them a variety of options on how to put their beliefs on their accessories or even carry them to occasions.

Diamond stud jewelry has always been considered the most precious and the most popular one. Earlier this year I was watching a program on the celebrities’ lives, and saw many celebrities using diamonds in the most unusual places like: Paris Hilton had her motorbike encrusted with tiny diamonds, and Britney Spears had her puppy wear a thousand dollar diamond necklace! Wow! That was awes trucking! Seems like diamonds are not only the women’s best friends after all.

So, a perfect gift is never too perfect to give diamond jewelry. Now there are various types of jewelry being designed with diamonds, but diamond pendants are so far the most popular and the classiest ones. Since, earrings vary too much from person to person’s choice and diamond rings are not always that much affordable, the market of diamond jewelry is quite favorable to diamond pendants. A glinting diamond on a simple pendant with a handsome chain- it is always wearable whether the outfit is formal or casual. So what types of diamond pendants are in these days? Or what should be your preferences while you go shopping diamond pendants?

Well there are actually three types of pendants on demand these days:

  • Diamond pendant necklace: these are a bit formal wear-able. You can put them on almost all types of formal parties, from Bar-Mitzvah to weddings. Even when you are in an evening gown going for a ball, trust me you don’t want to miss having such a pendant alluring just beneath your chin.
  • Diamond pendant locket: such lockets are so cool in treasuring sentimental moments. Its just the perfect anniversary gift for the wife! Some such lockets come with small heart shaped photo-frames securely held inside; some have a diamond encrusted inside. Whatever it is, the design is such that it is a true symbol of the emotions lying deep down inside.
  • Diamond pendant diamond shape: though this is most common in pendant design yet it has the most increasing demand. It’s because of the sparkle it offers and the beauty of it while hanging vertical. At the middle of the locket there is the pear shaped diamond, which is flexible to any types of diamond cut.

When you have that precious little diamond hanging around your neck- why even care about celebrities or their puppies? You have the fortune tugged to that chain! Just look at the mirror and feel free to picture yourself as a princess, as a star!

Diamond cross necklaces are found in various shapes, with various cuts of diamonds and of various metals. The most precious ones are on platinum.
