The Magic of Diamonds

Throughout the centuries, Diamonds have captivated the hearts and minds of people from around the world.

Diamonds were first discovered in about 500 BC in India, which remained the world's only major source for 2000 years. The people who discovered these early deposits thought of diamonds as 'fragments of eternity.' The Hindus attributed so much power to these precious stones they went so far as to place diamonds in the eyes of some of their statues. The Romans thought diamonds were splinters from falling stars, while the Greeks regarded the sparkling gems as tears of the gods. It is a derivation of the Greek word 'adamas' meaning unconquerable, which gave the diamond its name.

Not only was it believed that diamonds could bring luck and success, but also that they could counter the effects of astrological events. Many people wore diamonds as charms as they were thought to hold medicinal and magical properties, protecting their owners from illness and evil. Although the concept behind these precious stones has been disputed, Diamonds have always been cherished and desired by all.

Diamonds are often referred to as a woman’s best friend and they have become a symbol of true and long-lasting love. An engagement ring generally consisting of a solitaire diamond has become a common tradition in the West and it is rapidly spreading in India and other parts of the world. Because a ring is one piece of jewellery a woman is likely to wear every single day of her life, and it is seen prominently, the money spent in buying an expensive diamond ring is a wise investment that should bring a great deal of joy to both the recipient and the one who gives.

When shopping for diamond jewellery, it is vitally important to know about the 4 cs.
They are cut, carat weight, color and clarity. Together, they determine the value of a given piece of diamond jewellery. The relative importance of these four factors could vary enormously for different individuals . For most persons, the total carat weight of the diamonds is the most important factor. However, for many others, the cut, color and clarity of the diamond are of central importance. Each diamond is cut using an exact mathematical formula to unleash its brilliance. The most common cut is round brilliant, which has 58 flat, polished facets that reflect the maximum amount of light. The cut should not be confused with the shape of the diamond such as marquise, oval, princess (square), etc.
The weight of diamonds is measured in carats. One carat of diamond is equal to 200 milligrams and there are 142 carats to an ounce. One carat is made up of one hundred points. When one buys a jewellery piece that is made up of many small pieces of diamonds such as a necklace, bracelet or earring, the combined weight of all pieces in the article is indicated. However, because larger diamonds are rarer than small ones, they are more expensive. Thus, a single solitaire diamonds of 1 carat can cost 5-20 times more than a diamond jewellery containing many smaller pieces weighing 1 carat.

US cos have big designs on Indian diamond jewellery

THE country's diamond processing sector may acquire a new sheen. Large US corporates running multi-billion dollar jewellery chains are increasingly eyeing India as a potential centre for outsourcing their production of diamond-studded jewellery.

Cheap labour and the traditional expertise in diamond processing among the artisans are the major factors that are prompting the US corporates to focus on India for jewellery production.

For its part, the gem and jewellery export industry, cottoning on to the increased US interest in this sector, is initiating measures to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to meet the diamond processing needs of the foreign companies and train artisans to learn the designs that the currently in demand in the West.

Although India occupies the top position in the world in small and low quality diamonds, it is yet to make a significant mark in the diamond-studded jewellery segment vis-à-vis the potential it has.

Take the cases of the $2.2-billion Sterling Zales and the US-based Walmart, which are in talks with the Mumbai-based Rs 528-crore Soundcraft Industries Ltd, the country' fourth largest exporter of processed diamonds, for setting up outsourcing facility here for production of diamond-studded jewellery.

"We are in the process of setting up a huge production facility here. We also intend to create a Rs 25-crore fund to enable SSIs in the diamond processing sector to set up small units as captive facilities for us. Once these infrastructure facilities are in place, we will have the final negotiations with the two US companies," Mr Raj C. Basantani, Chairman of Soundcraft, told Business Line.

Industry experts say that other US companies are also initiating talks with Indian companies in this sector. "It is vital for the local diamond processing industry to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to grab this potential market. China is also training people in diamond processing, but India has the advantage of being the largest producer of processed small to medium diamonds. At present, India accounts for over 55 per cent of the world production in value terms and 80 per cent in volumes," according to a industry analyst.

India, which currently exports $ 7.5 billion worth processed diamonds, is aiming at increasing its exports to $ 10 billion by 2007. After facing a brief period of sluggish trend, the export market for processed diamonds is now looking healthier in the wake of the appreciating rupee and the dissipation of the SARS scare.

"The recent SARS scare had affected our market in Hong Kong, which accounts for about 15 per cent of India's processed diamonds export market. Now that market has revived. Also, the rupee appreciation has brought down our cost of import, which accounts for 93 per cent of our cost of production. I see a healthy growth of 18 to 20 per cent for the industry this fiscal," says Mr Basantani.

Although the appreciation of the rupee against the dollar has thinned the export margins, this has been offset to a large extent by the reduction of import cost.

"The import cost has come down by about five per cent during the last few months. The industry has also been benefited by lowering of interest rates. Dollar borrowing now attracts 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent cost, while in rupee terms it is 8 per cent," an analyst pointed out.

Diamond with smudges, and clean diamond

Cleaning and maintaining diamond jewellery is important; even a small coating of soap, hand-cream or dust on the back of your diamond can diminish the sparkle immensely. Also, diamonds have a magnetic affinity for grease. (In fact, without this, we mightn't be able to mine for diamonds - grease is often used in mining to extract diamonds from mud. The downside of this is that if you even touch a diamond, you can see your fingerprint left behind). So keeping it clean will enhance the sparkle and keep it looking wonderful.

The first choice is always to take the diamond back to the jewellery shop - they have equipment specially for cleaning jewellery. They will also be able to check the condition of the ring, make sure that the claws are in good condition, and that there are no problems.

However, if this is not an option, then the following is the best way to clean your jewellery at home;

•Put some warm soapy water into a bowl/basin (do not use the sink, as accidents happen!)
•Using a soft toothbrush, brush gently at the back of the stone, trying to remove all the dust. It is possible to damage the claws when doing this, so be very gentle. If in doubt, go to your jeweller!
•Rinse with warm water.
Now check that the diamond is totally clean - look at it from above. A clean diamond will sparkle evenly all over. However, sometimes there are more stubborn particles that will not be removed so easily! This will be obvious if there are brushmarks visible. These are the sections that we not quite removed. The best thing to do is repeat the same procedure.

Other methods, such as using alcohol or gin, will not work as effectively. It is best to start off gently; I have seen people who have brushed too hard and knocked out stones!

Only a jeweller can really clean platinum, as a polishing motor is needed. But it can be improved at home quite easily. To clean the platinum, use a soft cloth with some mild metal cleaner - Silvo works very well. Apply with a cotton bud, then rub off with the cloth. The metal will be shinier. If it's still scuffed, bring it to a jeweller.

To clean gold, follow the same procedure as for platinum. Gold shines much easier than platinum, cleaning at home should be adequate. Remember to clean the metal before the diamond, as otherwise silver polish will get onto the stone.

With other gemstones, it is best to ask for professional advice; some, such as emeralds and opals, must never be cleaned with any products, even soapy water.
