We’ll explore the development of diamonds and diamond jewelry, how diamond jewelry is set and designed, the metals used for diamond jewelry (both traditional as well as surprising new methods). We’ll cover the new world of Lab-Grown Diamonds, taking the jewelry world by storm, what they are, how they’re grown and differences and similarities.
We’ll also explore estate jewelry, either as a purchase or a method to sell your jewelry if you’ve been thinking of doing so.
We’ll explore diamond pricing and how to make your next diamond or diamond jewelry purchase.
