Are Gems Really Rare And Dirty?
Brought to you by round diamond rings.
When you walk into a jewelry store and see all the Diamonds in all of the various settings that are for sale, it is difficult to realize that Diamonds are indeed rare. Most people don’t even stop to consider how that diamond came to be sitting in that jeweler’s case! There is quite a bit of work that is done before a diamond is ready to sell to the general public!
For every one million Gems that are mined, only one will be found that is a quality one caret diamond. In order to find a two caret diamond, about five million Gems must be mined. More than two hundred tons of ore must be mined to find one small diamond, and even then, more than 80% of the Diamonds that are mined are only good for industrial use, such as diamond drill bits.
So, the next time you visit your local jewelry store, ask to see the one carat Diamond Gems. You should look at this diamond with new appreciation – knowing that it truly is one in a million!
A dirty diamond is one of two things: a rough diamond, or a diamond that hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Rough Gems are uncut and unpolished – hence, they are dirty. But that type of dirty diamond will soon be cut and polished and sitting in a beautiful jewel box in a display case. Then someone will purchase it, and before long, it will become a dirty diamond once again.
Diamond Gems become dirty. When you wash your hands with a diamond ring on, soap scum clings to it. When you put on hand lotion, it gets grease on it. Shower with your diamond earrings or necklace, and again, you get soap scum. In one short day, your brand new diamond could be dirty!
Purchase an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner the same day that you purchase your diamond jewelry, and use it every single day, without fail. The clarity of the diamond changes when the diamond is dirty – it loses its sparkle. By taking one minute each day to clean your diamond jewelry, you can avoid this, and your Gems will never be dirty!
