When people think of diamonds, the most common thing to pop into their minds are colourless diamonds (white diamonds). Obviously colourless diamonds are the most common & most popular to buy, but not for long.

Coloured diamonds are slowly making their way into pieces of jewellery & being classed as “excellent alternative investments” and the “trendiest asset class to invest in”. Last year the collection of Argyle Pink Diamonds made their way into Kensington Palace to be displayed as some of the rarest & most beautiful diamonds ever to be seen. Another coloured diamond to make it to the news last year was the 12 carat Martian Pink diamond which sold for an astonishing $17.4 million.

The price of pink diamonds has increased by 443% over the past 10 years. With this being said; pink diamonds cost millions, meaning it is only a fortunate few who can actually take these diamonds home. The majority of pink diamonds are sold at auction, making them a rare (and very expensive) find.

Buying the perfect diamond online can be extremely difficult, especially when you know nothing about them.

The ‘Martian Pink’ is an extremely rare 12 carat pink diamond that is so adored that it sold for $17.4 million (£11.1 million) in Hong Kong on Tuesday 29th May. The name ‘Martian’ came from the celebrity master jeweller Harry Winston who was so impressed that the Americans had landed on Mars in 1976 that he decided to look into his inventory & find a rough diamond that would more than likely be pink. After cutting the diamond to perfection, Harry Winston unveiled the most intense pink diamond  he had ever seen or cut before. The current owner of the ‘Martian Pink’ wanted the diamond to be sold in Hong Kong where it would demand a higher price. The buyer of this beautiful rare pink diamond is anonymous & placed the winning bid over the phone, he/she must be extremely proud to own such a rare & beautiful diamond.

What is Micro Pave?

Micro pavé is a term used for jewellery that has literally been paved with diamonds that have been very closely set. A micro pavé ring is usually a large centre stone diamond surrounded by tiny one hundredth of a carat diamonds that are set down the shoulders of the ring. Micro pavé is also known as a bead setting due to the diamonds resembling small beads. To achieve a micro pavé setting, the ring is drilled to create a taper hole where the diamonds are placed & the metal is pushed over the edges of the stones. Micro pavé settings give any size centre stone the illusion of being larger than it really is because of the clusters of diamonds surrounding it.  DiamondGeezer.com have a beautiful collection of micro pavé diamond & precious gem jewellery that they have spent 3 months designing along with a very skilled design team that can design and create any style of micro pavé jewellery.
