Passover is a time of reflection, tradition, and family gatherings. But did you know that the four questions of Passover can also connect to the world of diamond jewelry? Let's explore this sparkling connection in a fun and quirky way!

Why is this diamond so special?

Just like the first question of Passover asks "Why is this night different from all other nights?" you might find yourself asking "Why is this diamond so special?" Well, diamonds are not just any gemstone - they are the hardest substance on Earth, just like the resilience and strength of the Jewish people throughout history.

How does this diamond shine so bright?

When you see a diamond sparkling in the light, you might wonder "How does this diamond shine so bright?" Similarly, the second question of Passover asks "Why do we eat matzah?" The answer lies in the simplicity and purity of the matzah, just like the clarity and brilliance of a well-cut diamond.

Sparkling with an internal fire all its own, diamond is one of the world’s most sought-after and adored gemstones. Those born in April are lucky enough to call this scintillating gem their birthstone, a symbol of clarity and strength. Diamond is so strong, in fact, that its name comes from the Greek word "adamas," which means “invincible” or “unbreakable.” The timeless charm of diamond was cherished long before it became the April birthstone, and the places where diamond comes from are as fascinating as the lore that surrounds it.

DIAMOND BIRTHSTONE MEANING & HISTORY

Our love for the April birthstone started in India, where diamonds were gathered from the country’s rivers and streams. Traded as early as the fourth century BCE, diamonds were coveted by royalty and the wealthy. Later, caravans brought Indian diamonds, along with other exotic merchandise, to medieval markets in Venice. By the 1400s, diamonds were becoming fashionable accessories for Europe’s elite. The first diamond engagement ring on record was given by Archduke Maximillian of Austria to his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy, in 1477. Recent evidence supports the origin of the legendary 45.52 carat (ct) blue Hope diamond in India’s Golconda mining area and its sale to King Louis XIV of France (then known as the French Blue diamond) in 1668.

The truth is you cannot tell the difference between a Lab Diamond and a Natural Diamond. The only way you can tell the difference between a natural and lab diamond are in a gem labratory with diamond grading equipment. No one can tell the difference not even a trained gemologist.

I did say I would share which jewelry I wore was Natural and which were Lab Diamonds.

So here are the details....

The exquisite Diamond Necklace is a Lab Diamond Necklace

The Diamond stud earrings with the matching jackets are natural diamonds. They can be worn together or separately and we can custom design these for you in Lab Diamonds.

The controversary continues... can you tell the difference between natural and lab diamonds.

I am heading out to a wedding, and I am wearing a combination of natural and lab diamond jewelry.

I am wearing a diamond necklace, diamond stud earrings with jackets, a pave diamond band, a diamond bracelet and an eternity band.

Can you tell the difference ? 

Stay tuned I will reveal tomorrow which are natural and which are Lab.

The truth nobody wants to hear …

Natural Diamonds 💎 will not resell for what you paid for them.

Wait… unless it’s a high color, high quality GIA certified significant diamond.

I’m not saying you won’t get value years down ….but diamond 💎 prices are constantly fluctuating and if you are looking for an investment, diamonds 💎 may not be the best option unless you are buying a high color, rare jewel.

Yes, you might get up to 60% of what you paid initially but it will vary on the market price, which is forever changing. The Diamond Market is similar to the stock market and also fluctuates with it at times. Yes, up to 60% and that is being generous. In fact most of the time whatever you paid the resell will be significantly lower.

It will also vary if you are buying something else from your Jeweler, or just selling it and walking away. Chances are if you are trading up, you might get a bit more for your diamond.

When it comes to diamonds, there are several important factors to consider: lets talk about color and clarity. These characteristics play a significant role in determining the value and beauty of a diamond. In this blog post, Mina D Fine Jewelry, a renowned expert in the industry, will explain the importance of color and clarity in diamonds.

These factors are the same in natural and lab diamonds.

Lab Diamonds have the same cut, clarity, color and carat weight properties as natural diamonds. 

What is Diamond Color?

Diamond color refers to the presence of any tint in a diamond. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond color on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The closer a diamond is to colorless, the more valuable it is.
