The History of Diamonds, as quoted from the GIA
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 can not tell the difference between Natural and Lab Diamonds
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 Truth No One wants to hear Diamond Prices explained by Mina D
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.

Happy Chinese New year - Kung Hei Fat Choy
Kung Hei Fat Choy for all my friends, followers and clients celebrating chinese new year. My past work as finance director for a diamond company has taken me to the far east on several occasions throughout the past years. Here is a look back at some of my Hong Kong and Singapore Travel.
My jewelry career began in the diamond district at the young age of 18, as a young adult I got to see the most beautiful diamonds and work with the leaders and founders of the industry. As the years went on I was fortunate to grow with the company and earn the respect of my colleagues and peers and get promoted to Finance Director. My experience in the industry is what moved me to began my own design journey and establish Mina D Jewelry in 2010.
My travel both for work and pleasure continues to inspire my designs even after I have visited places. And exploring new cities and culture of people is always fascinating.
Happy New Year !
