Diamond jewellery is classic, timeless and really can go with anything. It adds instant sparkle to any outfit, and it can’t fail to impress anyone that sets eyes on it.

What Are Blood Diamonds?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

For most of us, the first time we heard the term Blood Diamonds was when the Leonardo Di Caprio film of the same name appeared in cinemas. So what are blood diamonds, and should you take steps to avoid inadvertently buying Jewellery which contains them?

Essentially, they are the stones which appear in Diamond Jewellery which have been sold in Africa in order to fund illegal operations of rebels and other terrorist groups. Countries that have been most affected by this are Sierra Leone, Angola, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where many people have died in conflicts which have been funded by the sale of these stones which later turn up in everything from Diamond Bracelets to Eternity Rings.

9ct white gold brilliant diamond bracelet 0.50ctsThere have been moves to ensure that our Diamond Jewellery is free from these blood diamonds. Ten years ago, South African countries with a legitimate diamond trade began a campaign to track the origins of all rough diamonds, attempting to put a stop to blood diamond sales from known conflict areas. Their efforts eventually resulted in The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), an international effort to rid the world of conflict diamonds, and so far appears to be seeing success.

When you are buying diamond jewellery, don’t be afraid to questions when you are choosing diamond rings or diamond earrings. Ask the dealer where the diamonds you are looking at came from, what the company’s policy on blood diamonds is, and if the company can verify the origins of the stones.

Look After Your Diamond Jewellery

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

You could be forgiven for thinking that you don’t have to worry about diamond rings becoming worn, but this is not entirely the case. Despite diamond jewellery being made from one of the hardest substances on earth, it can become worn, so make sure you follow a few guidelines and you will avoid this. For example, if you wear any other rings next to a diamond ring some abrasion may occur, as a diamond in direct contact with other diamond jewellery will rub away at the other stone. Eventually, your diamond may also be slightly worn down if they have been placed together for too long. Wearing two rings close together can cause the abrasion of metal as well, so it’s probably best if you never take your rings off to wear them on opposite hands or a few fingers apart.

There are a number of materials that can be used to clean diamonds and their mount, including soapy water, some detergents and alcohol, but don’t use abrasive substances which may damage your diamond jewellery. diamond rings can also attract grease, and after a while if not cleaned they will lose their sparkly and can become dull. This applies to all diamond jewellery, whether it is eternity rings, cluster rings or diamond bracelets, so a little bit of maintenance will ensure that your diamond jewellery will never lose its sparkle.

A Note On The Colours Of Diamonds

Monday, May 17th, 2010

The most common diamond found in watches and jewellery is the perfectly colourless or ‘white’ diamond, but that is certainly not the only colour available. More than 20 officially approved colours are known to experts. Pink, blue, and champagne are three of the most popular in jewellery.

Colour is distinct from clarity. While clarity scrutinises a diamond for flaws and interruptions, colour refers to the tint. Any colour of diamond can have a high or a low clarity and a correspondingly high or a low quality. Some of the largest and most valuable diamonds found either loose or in diamond jewellery settings in the world are coloured.

Of the ten greatest diamonds ever valued, most are either blue or white. The exception is the Golden Jubilee Diamond, which is the largest cut diamond in the world at more than 540 carat. That’s more than 100g, or the weight of a generous chocolate bar. The clear golden colour is called ‘fancy yellow brown’. It is worth millions of pounds.

Because they are rarer, large diamonds with high clarity and a particular tint are usually more expensive than their white equivalents, but there is no denying that they can also be truly beautiful stones.

Selecting a diamond colour to suit your loved one not only shows that you care enough to buy diamonds, but also that you’ve put extra thought in to the choice. For example, nothing beats pink diamond engagement rings for a woman who loves that colour.

Get Your New Diamond Jewellery Insured

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Fine diamond jewellery is by its very nature expensive. What’s more it’s small, lightweight, and has a high resale value, so this kind of item is the perfect target for thieves and housebreakers. As soon as you receive a piece of diamond jewellery or a watch from us you should add it to your home and contents insurance policy. Don’t wait until your next renewal.

That will cover your ring or watch against theft from your home, but most policies won’t cover accidental loss or damage. They also won’t apply if a theft occurs outside the home. To address that problem we can help arrange cover for you, with a policy especially designed for valuables like watches, rings, and bracelets. The insurance comes through Allianz, who are a well established and well recognised insurance firm, but if you need to make a claim we can look after all the details for you.

If you lose or damage diamond jewellery bought from ROX, or it gets stolen, get back in touch with us and we’ll guide you through the process. Your item will be repaired or replaced by us as swiftly as possible.

Consider our special Forever Precious insurance whenever you buy from ROX. Any piece of diamond jewellery represents a significant investment, and like all of those it needs to be protected. We understand exactly how to do that, and will be happy to help ensure the safety of that investment if the worst should happen.

Buying Diamond Jewellery: Necklace And Bracelets

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Buying diamond bracelets are similar to buying diamond earrings in that one size fits all, so there is no need to worry about something being too big or too small in the way that one would have to consider when buying a ring.

Diamond bracelets are wonderful gifts because they combine all the romance and thought that we associate with diamonds, with a more unusual and unique take on the tradition. Diamond bracelets are easy to wear and can be worn with any outfit, from a simple pair of jeans to a little black dress.

In terms of style, diamond bracelets are available as loose bracelets, more ‘fixed’ bangle styles and the tennis bracelet. It became known as this when Chris Evert broke her in-line diamond bracelet at Wimbledon, halted the match and sparked a new trend. It consists of thirty or more diamonds set at perfect intervals all alone the length of the bracelet.

18ct white gold diamond tennis bracelet 0.91ctsAs with buying any diamond jewellery, before you shop it is essential that you are armed with information. The first pertains to your budget and is something that you should stick to. Your partner’s elation at her beautiful new piece of jewellery might lessen if she discovers you have spent a month’s mortgage payment on it.

The second refers to the taste of the woman you are buying for. Take note of her style and likes and dislikes. This is vital for all jewellery shopping but especially diamond necklaces. For example, are her tastes simple or elaborate? This should help you decide between a solitaire and something more ornate, and will boost the chances of your buying a successful gift.
