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 Rare Diamond
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A nine-carat diamond is considered rare and holds a premium price. Because of their rarity and size, nine-carat diamonds are a coveted choice for engagement rings. One of the most famous nine-carat diamond rings belongs to actress Kate Hudson, who has a nine-carat emerald cut diamond complemented with tapered baguettes on a platinum band. Shop a selection of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Argyle pink diamonds are generally thought of as very rare. This is because pink diamonds account for less than 1 percent of the diamonds mined from the area in Western Australia. You'll find a collection of Argyle pink diamond gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Yes, a two-carat diamond is generally rarer than a smaller diamond, especially high-quality two-carat diamonds. When larger diamonds are found in nature, they usually have flaws. And prices per carat don’t increase as weight increases. A three-carat gem can be less valuable than a one-carat stone, for example, if all of the other attributes are of lesser quality in the larger diamond. Shop an assortment of diamond jewelry from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Vivid yellow diamonds are extremely rare. In fact, only one out of every 10,000 carats of diamonds mined is yellow. However, yellow is the most common type of colored diamond, accounting for 60% of all colored diamonds. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of yellow diamond jewelry.
