The diamond solitaire is jewellery at its most mesmerizing. Though the rich and famous may sport huge diamond necklaces (Catherine Zeta-Jones wore a 50-carat Asscher cut to the Golden Globe Awards last year), solitaires are not a luxury reserved for the celebrities and the upper class.
The Diamond Store has kept the design of their diamond solitaire necklace as simple as possible relying on the stone to do the talking and not be overpowered by the setting.
With any piece of diamond jewellery it is really about the diamond and the setting must complement and showcase it. Invisible settings where the diamond appears to lay in the mount with no visible means of support shows the stone to its full advantage: or the rub over setting maximizes the diamond's brilliance and can also make it appear larger by completely surrounding the stone and adding to its size.
Some clasps play a major role in jewellery design. Jewellery clasps are more than just functional components which are used to securely connect the ends of a necklace. A lobster claw clasp has a tiny spring that keeps the arm closed until you push on the lever; magnetic clasps snap together easily when the two ends near each other or some clasps have a curved hook on one end that fits into a circular opening on the other.
As well as being beautiful, solitaire diamonds are a secure investment. To have a certain level of financial freedom in difficult times the best investment formula is believed to be one third fixed interest securities; one third property and one third tangible assets such as diamonds. They offer huge advantages and protection from inflation, market collapse and currency reforms; anonymity as there is no registration required; are the only accepted international currency which has the same value all over the world; tax free betterment and no maintenance costs. If you invest to gain fast and high returns, then tangible assets are not for you, but if you want a secure investment then diamonds are ideal. Whether you are an investor or just want something beautiful to wear, take a look at the diamond solitaire necklaces on offer at the Diamond Store as they are currently available at unrepeatable prices.
