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 Platinum And Onyx
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Edwardian jewelry is the last era of jewelry to be defined by a British monarch’s rule. For many of the Edwardian designs, platinum was the material of choice. In 1903, the invention of the acetylene torch meant that platinum’s dense, malleable form could be heated and fashioned into the desired jewelry designs. Shop a selection of Edwardian jewelry from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What an onyx ring symbolizes is largely a matter of personal interpretation. In ancient Persia and India, people often wore onyx jewelry to protect themselves from evil. As a result, many people associate the rings with good fortune or safety. Others equate the gemstone rings with memory or the Leo and Capricorn zodiac signs. Shop a variety of onyx gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    Yes, onyx can be a good material for a dining table. The mineral is strong, but it is relatively lightweight, making tables easy to move throughout a room as needed. Many people find the color and luster of onyx tabletops to be visually appealing. Since the material can become scratched or damaged by heat, it is important to take steps to protect an onyx dining table by using felt-backed trivets or heat-resistant fabric mats beneath hot dishes. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of onyx dining tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One way to tell if your black onyx is real or not is to use a scratch test. Because black onyx clocks in at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, it can’t be scratched by softer materials. Use a copper penny or a steel knife and scratch the surface of your stone. If the object leaves a scratch on the stone, it isn’t real black onyx. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of genuine black onyx jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • A black onyx ring is a ring set with an onyx gemstone. Onyx is a semi-precious gemstone that typically comes in the color black.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021

Black onyx is a semi-precious gemstone, with prices ranging from $1 to $500 per carat. Find a collection of vintage and designer black onyx rings on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

    If it seems like most engagement rings are platinum, you’ve likely been shopping at retailers and boutiques that primarily specialize in the sale of platinum jewelry. It’s true that platinum is among the most popular metals for engagement rings. Cartier pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds. However, engagement rings are in fact created with a range of many other materials, such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and titanium. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of engagement rings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    No, most engagement rings aren't platinum. Some people do prefer platinum due to its appearance and its resistance to scratching and fading.
