Antoinette Diamond Wedding Sets

Most people think of a diamond set as a diamond engagement ring set or a synonym to diamond wedding sets, but a diamond set can really be so much more.  While traditionally diamonds are the most popular stones in engagement rings and wedding bands they are also used in so many other pieces of jewelry.  A diamond set can consist of a diamond ring, a bracelet, a diamond necklace, a pendant, a brooch, an anklet, earrings, tiaras and hair clips among other pieces or adornments.  A men’s diamond set can consist of cuff links, tie clips, watches, and rings.  Good quality diamonds can be costly so it is not uncommon to start with one piece of jewelry and add pieces over time until a diamond set has been collected.

Also, there are times when a heirloom diamond has been passed down from generation to generation and the original setting needs to be repaired or replaced. No matter whether it’s one of those expensive diamond wedding sets, or a cheaper alternative, they all need to be repaired after a while. You can either find an artisan to create a new piece of jewelry or take it to your local jeweler to have the diamond set in a piece they may carry in their shop.  Many times men have an engagement ring crafted for their fiances from a family heirloom.  There are also times when a loose diamond either cut or uncut is purchased and later placed in a setting. This is the norm in most diamond wedding sets. If you don’t know where to have your diamond setting, you could either contact a local jeweler or do a search online to find artisans and craftsmen in your area.  If the diamond is not of good quality the jeweler might give it a square cut often referred to as a princess diamond cut.  This cut is often used for imperfect stones because the squared cut hides imperfections and blemishes in the stone.

In recent years India has become a major exporter of diamond jewelry.  You can find an Indian diamond set online as well as in local jewelry retailers.  India also exports Polki diamonds which are usually large. Most commonly they have subdued luster and are in need of polishing to bring them to the brilliance diamonds are noted for.  Whether you are looking for complete Indian diamond wedding sets, individual pieces or uncut diamonds, you can find sources by searching the internet.

Diamonds are often equated with endless love, and that holds especially true for diamond bridal sets. There is something metaphoric about this.  Diamonds are strong and are often used as precision cutting instruments.  For any of you who may be old enough to remember old phonographs, a diamond needle was the epitome of phonograph needles.  To say that a diamond is forever may not be far from the truth.  A diamond set goes on forever and speaks in a “sharp,” precise and wordless way of undying, endless love.  There is no better gift to say “I love you with an endless love” than a diamond set. Diamond wedding sets make each bride-to-be feel loved and special, so if you can afford one, then you should stop second guessing it. The metaphor is there, now where is the diamond?
