The Legacy of Diamond in Jewelry Design

Antique diamond rings, diamond tiaras and dazzling vintage diamond earrings are on the wish lists of every lover of fine jewelry. And diamonds and diamond jewelry are primarily associated with storybook engagements and red-carpet grand entrances — indeed, this ultra-cherished gemstone has a dramatic history on its hands.

From “A Diamond Is Forever” to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” pop culture has ingrained in our minds that diamonds are the most desired, the most lasting and the most valuable gemstone. But what makes the diamond so special? Each stone — whether it’s rubies, sapphires or another stone — is unique and important in its own right. April babies might claim diamonds for themselves, but just about everyone wants this kind of sparkle in their lives!

There are several factors that set diamonds apart from other stones, and these points are important to our gem education.

Diamonds are minerals. They are made up of almost entirely of carbon (carbon comprises 99.95 percent; the remainder consists of various trace elements). Diamonds are the hardest gemstones, ranking number 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Even its name, diamond, is rooted in the Greek adamas, or unconquerable. The only object that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth at very high temperatures (1,652–2,372 degrees Fahrenheit at depths between 90 and 120 miles beneath the earth’s surface) and are carried up by volcanic activity. Diamonds are quite rare, according to the Gemological Institute of America, and only 30 percent of all the diamonds mined in the world are gem quality.

In the 1950s, the Gemological Institute of America developed the 4Cs grading system to classify diamonds: clarity, color, cut and carat weight. Not all diamonds are created equal (there are diamonds, and then there are diamonds). The value of the diamond depends on the clarity (flawless diamonds are very rare but a diamond's value decreases if there are many blemishes or inclusions), color (the less color the higher the grade), cut (how the diamond’s facets catch the light, certain cuts of diamonds show off the stone better than others) and carat weight (the bigger, the better).

When you start shopping for a diamond engagement ring, always prioritize the cut, which plays the largest role in the diamond's beauty (taking the time to clean your diamond ring at least every six months or so plays a role in maintaining said beauty). And on 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement ringsvintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings

Questions About 3 Carat Blue Diamond
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    In terms of dimensions, how large a 3-carat diamond is varies. The shape of the diamond will determine its length and width. Weighing 600 milligrams, diamonds that are 3 carats are generally considered to be large stones. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of diamond jewelry from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    A 3-carat diamond’s worth varies depending on the 4Cs of diamond quality – color, cut, clarity and carat. On average, a 3-carat diamond could cost you between $7,200 to $51,000. It is also likely that the price range per carat will be even broader. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of 3-carat diamond jewelry today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Whether a 3-carat diamond is considered big is largely a matter of personal opinion. The average diamond is 1 to 2 carats in size. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of diamond jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    How much a 1-carat blue diamond is worth depends on its cut, clarity and color. Human-made synthetic blue diamonds of that size are often worth less than $10,000, while natural examples sourced through mining are generally valued at much higher prices. If a gemstone is set in a piece of jewelry, it may have additional value due to the precious metals, the maker of the piece, its age and other factors. Because so many variables can impact the potential value of a blue diamond, experts generally recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler assist with the valuation process. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of blue diamond jewelry.
