As the sun sets and the candles flicker, the Passover Seder begins, a time of reflection and tradition. The four cups of wine, each symbolizing a different aspect of the Exodus story, are carefully poured and savored. But have you ever considered the striking similarities between the four cups of wine and the four C's of diamonds?

Clarity: Seeing Through the Facets

Just as the first cup of wine represents clarity of mind and vision, so too does the "C" of clarity in diamonds. A diamond's clarity is determined by the absence of inclusions or blemishes, allowing light to pass through and create a dazzling display. In the same way, the first cup of wine at the Seder clears the mind and sets the stage for the story of liberation.

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.

Few purchases are as careful and considered as an engagement ring.

In addition to being one of the most treasured pieces of jewelry, it also tends to be the customer’s first major jewelry purchase, which comes with its own pressures.

1-Fancy-shaped diamonds, which have been increasing in popularity in recent years, are expected to continue to appeal to consumers.  The Oval and Emerald cuts seem to elongate the finger. The Pear Shape has an allure all its own.

When it comes to choosing a diamond, the shape is one of the most important factors to consider. The shape not only affects the overall appearance of the diamond, but it also determines how light is reflected and how the diamond sparkles. With so many diamond shapes to choose from, let the experts at Mina D Fine Jewelry help you find your perfect diamond shape, whether it's for a ring or incorporated into a piece of jewelry.

Why is the diamond shape important?

The diamond shape refers to the geometric form of the diamond when viewed from above. It is different from the cut, which refers to how well the diamond has been shaped and faceted. The shape of the diamond can greatly impact its overall look and style.

What are the different diamond shapes available?

There are several popular diamond shapes to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics:

- Round: The round diamond is the most popular and classic choice. It is known for its brilliant sparkle and timeless appeal.

- Princess: The princess cut is a square or rectangular shape with pointed corners. It is known for its modern and elegant look.

- Emerald: The emerald cut is a rectangular shape with step-like facets. It is known for its clean lines and understated elegance.
