More interesting facts and information about diamond rings.....
Famous for her glamour and spectacular jewellery, actress Elizabeth Taylor decided to write a book a few years ago called My Love Affair with Jewellery. To mark its launch she displayed 30 of her jewels at Christies in New York, with the emerald and diamond Bulgari ring which was a gift from the love of her life, Richard Burton, being auctioned to raise money for her AIDS Foundation.
This ring is set with a 7.4 carat emerald surrounded by 12 pear shaped diamonds and has enormous sentimental value. Because diamond rings have always been the ultimate gift of eternal love, it is no surprise that Burton chose to give such a item to the woman who really can afford to buy herself anything. Experts in their field, a few years ago Christies auctioned Marilyn Monroe’s diamond engagement ring for a staggering $700,000. Stars including Elton John, Robert De Niro, and Barbra Streisand are regulars at these types of auctions, delighted to be given an opportunity to purchase a beautiful diamond ring while contributing to charity at the same time.
Other jewels on display, which had been personally selected by Miss Taylor, included the 33.19 carat Krupp Diamond, and heart shaped seventeenth century Taj Mahal Diamond (again both were gifts from Burton). The Taj Mahal was a present for her fortieth birthday, and originated from the Mughal Emperor Shah-Jahan who gave it to his favourite wife, Mumtaz-l-Mahal, for whom the Taj Mahal was built.
Miss Taylor’s love of gems even extends to a perfume she markets called White Diamonds which is described as flowery fragrance recommended for casual wear possessing a blend of lily, rose, amber and sandalwood.
Even though you may not have a fortune like Richard Burton to spend on a diamond ring, remember that with the range of diamonds on offer there is something to suit everyone’s pocket and it is a wonderful gift to give and a glorious and symbolic piece of jewellery to wear.
The term solitaire indicates the ring has a single diamond rather than a cluster of diamonds or side stones and their attraction is that they display the diamond in the best possible way drawing all the attention to the beauty of the stone.
Diamond solitaires are the most popular choice for engagement rings as they are the most valuable of all stones and offer the best investment. A diamond solitaire ring stands out for people to admire and screams “only the best for me”.
