When you are shopping for diamond necklaces, the first thing to consider is the diamond quality. Diamonds are judged according to the 4Cs: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. For color and clarity, less is more. Gems with the least amount of color and the fewest imperfections are the most rare and valuable. The bigger the diamond, the higher its carat weight and the more it costs per carat. Cut is arguably the most important value factor because the quality of a diamond's cut gives it its life and sparkle.

The diamonds Gemvara offers are exceptionally fine: a minimum G-H in color, at least SI2 in clarity, and cut to dance with brilliance. We also offer a wide range of center diamonds in every shape, size, and quality to add more sparkle to your favorite design. Because all Gemvara necklaces are made to order, we can hand-select the perfect diamond for your design.

Gemvara's center diamonds above one-third carat are accompanied by a third-party laboratory report from the prestigious Gemological Institute of America Laboratory or American Gem Society Laboratory assuring their quality.

All of our diamonds have Kimberley Process Warrants, confirming that they are conflict-free.

What is the meaning of diamond in the language of gems? The ancient Greeks called diamond "adamas," meaning invincible, theorizing that something so beautiful must be the crystallized teardrops of the gods. The Romans thought diamonds were so brilliant they must be fallen stars.

Born deep within the earth millions of years ago, diamonds have come to symbolize forever and most couples around the globe mark their engagement with a diamond ring.

Three stone diamond necklaces that symbolize past, present and future are a popular choice for an anniversary gift. Diamond solitaire necklaces are a basic of every jewelry wardrobe.

Diamond is the April birthstone and the 10th and 60th anniversary gem.

Diamond pendants and necklaces are crafted in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum but silver is also an option if budget is a concern.

Clean diamond pendants and necklaces with mild dish soap or ammonia and water: use a soft brush behind the stone where dust can collect.

Gemvara's fine quality diamond necklaces are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.
