Diamonds – Pillow Talk
Posted by cissy | Posted in Diamond Advice | Posted on 07-08-2009
So many diamonds to see, and so little time. Still looking for a nice diamond for your intended? We know how difficult it is to make a decision, but following is only one, among many possibly wonderful suggestions:
Easily fitting the criteria of unique and beautiful diamond cuts is the semi-classic cushion-cut. A cushion-cut diamond is so named due to its striking resemblance to a pillow; especially when viewed from topside. Usually shaped somewhat square with softened corners, one of the main traits of this diamond cut is that it makes good use of the less frequently used larger facet. The design is brilliance enhancing , and makes the most of a diamond’s best features. Despite its modern appearance, this popular diamond style has been around for over a hundred years.
Dimension and clarity play an important role in defining the diamond’s overall ‘look’. Since each diamond has its own ‘personality’, as well as its own uniqueness, one will find that, depending on depth and clarity, one cushion-cut diamond can look somewhat different from another with the same cut.
A diamond of this cut can be extremely versatile when it comes to selecting a suitable setting. Either a simply tasteful or intriguingly exquisite setting will suit this diamond just fine. This diamond looks great in a plain setting of gold, (either white or yellow) as well as platinum. Just a bit of practical advice: If you are in the market for a diamond…any diamond; take the time to carefully look it over and think about the recipient; think about how it will represent, you, the giver. If the vibe (along with the financing, of course) is right, then you can surely feel confident enough to make one of the best memorable selections of a lifetime.
