Diamond Colour
A diamond acts like a prism whereby light can be divided into a spectrum of colours.
A colourless diamond, allows more light to pass through it than a coloured diamond, these colourless diamonds reflect the light as colourful flashes called ‘fire’.
The less colour in a diamond the more colourful the fire and hence the better the diamond grade.
Colour in a diamond acts as a filter and reduces the range of colour exuded.
The perfect diamond is actually colourless.
The less colour (yellow) a diamond permeates the more rare and valuable it actually is.
A letter grade is given to a diamond to describe the subtle tones of colour in the stone.
D is perfectly colourless and therefore the most rare and expensive.
As you progress from D to Z on the alphabet colour scale, the level of colour increases with traces of a yellowish or brownish colour.
Vibrant colours such as pink, red, blue and green are constantly being discovered, but due to their rarity are incredibly expensive.
These colours do not follow the normal colour scale and are categorised separately.
At GoldeNet Australia you will only find the finest diamonds, therefore we do not offer diamonds that have been graded below M.
Which Colour Grade Should I Choose? Diamonds graded D through F are naturally the most valuable and desirable because of their rarity. The rarity and value of these diamonds are reflected in their price.
This does not mean that diamonds graded below F are not considered to be very attractive.
Diamonds graded G through I show virtually no colour visible to the untrained eye.
Diamonds graded J through M show an extremely faint trace of yellow, however this faint hint of colour can be minimised by the careful selection of the right jewellery setting on which to mount your diamond.
D, E, F = For the purest diamond, diamonds graded D-F are superb diamonds and are extremely expensive.
G, H, I, J = For excellent value in a diamond with no noticeable colour to the untrained eye.
Nearly colourless diamonds with noticeable colour when compared to higher grade diamonds. These are high quality and are excellent value.
K, L, M = Faint yellow diamonds.
N, O, P, Q, R = Very light yellow diamonds.
GoldeNet Australia does not offer these diamonds.
S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z = Light yellow diamonds. GoldeNet Australia does not offer these diamonds.
Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond is one of the most important diamond characteristic as it provides the diamond with its unique sparkle and brilliance as the cut allows the maximum amount of light to enter and leave the diamond.
Of the Four Cs, the cut is the only value factor that is a result of human skill.
It refers to the angles and proportion of a diamond, as well as its polish and precision of faceting. Often the cut of a diamond is mistakenly referred to as the shape (round, pear, oval, etc.) of the stone.
Well-cut diamonds can reflect light like a mirror from one facet to another and disperse and reflect this light through the top of the stone.
A well-cut diamond will be symmetrically round, proper depth and width and have uniformity of the facets.
These features will result in optimal radiance.
On a classic round brilliant-cut diamond, for example, 57 or 58 facets must be precisely aligned so light will enter the diamond and reflect back through the large top facet, or table of the diamond. Diamonds that are cut either too deep or too shallow can lose light through the sides and bottom and will be less brilliant, and ultimately of less value.
The universal cut grading scale, as defined by the American Gemologist Society Laboratories (AGSL), is outlined below. Currently, only round diamonds are graded.
GoldeNet Australia does not carry any diamonds below the cut grade of ‘Good’.
IDEAL CUT: Represents roughly the top 3% of diamond quality based on cut.
Perfectly proportioned with the highest grade of polish and symmetry.
This grade of diamond reflects virtually all light that enters it.
They are the most brilliant, rare and expensive diamonds.
EXCELLENT CUT: Represents roughly the top 8% of diamond quality based on cut.
Proportioned to fit strict requirements for table and depth percentage.
This grade of diamond reflects almost all light but less than the ideal cut.
They are still quite rare and very expensive.
VERY GOOD CUT: Represents roughly the top 15% of diamond quality based on cut.
Proportioned to reflect much of the light that enters.
This is a high quality and moderately priced diamond.
GOOD CUT: Represents roughly the top 25% of diamond quality based on cut.
Proportioned to reflect most light that enters.
These are considerable value, quality diamonds.
FAIR CUT: Represents roughly the top 35% of diamond quality based on cut.
Disproportioned but allows some light to be reflected.
POOR CUT: This includes all diamonds that do not meet the proportion standards of a fair cut. Disproportioned so that most light entering is lost out of its sides and bottom.
Important characteristics of a diamond cut are described below. Some diamond cutters will compromise on the cut of the diamond in an attempt to optimise the diamond’s weight (carat).
This can result is a larger diamond with a duller appearance.
If all Cs are equal (cut, carat, colour and clarity), there can be as much as a 50% variation in the cost of a diamond if the cut is of poor quality.
TABLE SIZE %: The table length relative to the diameter of the diamond.
A table that is too large or too small will reduce the overall dispersion of a diamonds brilliance.
CROWN ANGLE: Angle between bezel facets and girdle.
Crown % is a measurement that relates to the depth of the crown to the diamonds overall depth.
GIRDLE THICKNESS: Ranges from extremely thin to extremely thick (assessed visually).
Extremely thin or extremely thick girdles are less desirable than more moderate girdles.
DEPTH %: Measurement of the distance from the table to the culet (bottom-most point). A depth that is too shallow or too deep will allow light to escape through the bottom of the stone, reducing the stones overall fire and brilliance. CULET SIZE: Ranges from pointed to extremely large (assessed visually). Unless the culet is abnormally large, it generally has no impact on the value of a diamond.
SYMMETRY: Refers to the overall uniformity of the cut of a diamond and is graded poor to excellent.
Symmetry is based on the diamonds proportions, the relation of one facet to another. A diamond with good symmetry can be more attractive than a less symmetrical stone.
Stones with poor symmetry can actually appear off-centred.
POLISH: The overall quality and uniformity of the polish of a diamond. It is graded poor to excellent based on the final finish applied to the facets and facet junctures by the cutter. Well-polished diamonds permit maximum passage of light and prevent potentially streaky surfaces.

Earrings: Balancing Style With Beauty
Geometric shapes are probably the current choice of working person that is getting an outlet in the form of earrings. In any jewelry set the presence of necklace along with earrings is common. But as the choice of modern person is taking a u-turn, earrings are available as single piece also. The blue, black, red and white rings that pass through the artificially created small holes at the end of the earlobes highlight the face and produce a charming look. Person of all culture, tradition and values wear earrings to symbolize power and richness. Your make over is not complete without an earring hanging from the ears and catalyzing your beauty. Apart from the use of precious metals the fashion jewelry include earrings that are made up of cheap materials that may not speak of richness but expresses style. In the past earrings were something meant for both men and person. But now person takes more pride in wearing jewelry while on the part of the men this has become a passion for few. However, today men might not go for the rest of the jewelries but they hunt for trendy earrings. So, in a way this jewelry is for both the sexes. Handmade beaded earrings, diamond earring and gold earring are available in plethora of styles and colors. Working person generally prefers light earrings that are fashionable and cheap but can be worn with all sorts of casuals. This is possible as most of the jewelers are concentrating on the creation of fashion jewelry that uses cheap ingredients to create exclusive earrings. The earrings that were the imitation of gold and silver can also be used up with suitable outfit.
Ornaments have always fascinated person both in the past and in the present. The fashion conscious people of today want to look graceful and for that they try out several accessories. Only the fashion designer however can predict the right one. The designer jewelry also includes some of the exquisitely designed earrings of which you won’t get a second creation. Those who prefer to wear the gold and the silver items hate the law to a large extent as there is not provision to make copy right laws on the jewelries and they can get to see the imitation of their original earrings, necklace or whatever it is. Earrings dangles with vibrating colors, cylindrical yellow beaded earrings, polygon shaped wood etc. and all together gives a different presentation. And working person, who move out for work and due to security reason cannot go for precious earrings, prefers such fashionable ones. The idea of fashion has completely changed today. Previously only the precious metals and stones hanging from the two sides of the face used to symbolize richness but now they have nothing to do with richness but only with fashion. When fashion is the buzzword why not wear something cheap yet elegant. Designer jewelry is created keeping this concept in mind. If you get some of the designer items that are fashionable yet affordable, then you can buy a handful of sets that can be put on everyday by matching them with your apparels.
Vivace has a collection of some of the exquisite earrings that can make the person attractive and eye catching. Brow spheric wood earring is affordable yet beautiful. This type of earring can go best with skirts giving you a completely young look. Yellow bamboo earrings are comfortable for the ears as they are light and can go best with any chocolate colored cloth. They are cylindrical in shape. Two cylinders are generally hung with the wire but you can open one of them to make it simpler. The blue spheric ceramic earring is the brainchild of the Italian designers who have given it the shape. The earring is cyan in color and will go best with any purple colored dress. Young and charming look is every person’s desire and this multicolored hanging earring is going to fulfill that desire too. This earring is a combination of red and yellow and is very lively. Classical disc earrings speak some different story. This has been made by the combination of ceramics disc and beads. This can suit best in any formal events and office parties. Each of the earrings has their respective importance and they tell stories of their own. However, it has to be accepted that handmade earrings have a completely distinguished appeal than that of the machine made ones. The Italian designers are creating marvelous works on various metals to make designer earrings. Earrings can also be seasonal as in spring people love to wear colorful and junk earring; but during summer the opposite happens. If you are short of gift ideas then search for the designer jewelry where you can get suitable earrings. They are generally cheap and useful. Those of you who are brand and material conscious can take a tour of any of the diamond shop or gold shop and get a meticulously sorted out piece from there. Purchasing these designer items is so easy today and can be done by just clicking on the mouse. Earrings, even in the absence of the necklace can beautify you and this is such a casual wear that you can put on wherever you go. They can be in the hanging form or on the form of tops. Whatever it is the desire of looking young, modern and beautiful is gratified with stunning earrings.

Mobius ring
Mobius ring - a ring with only one facet
The Mobius ring is the actualization of number of major spiritual ideas that are well established in sacred geometry. To make a Mobius strip, take a paper page and cut it into a strip (24cm height, 4cm width for the sake of convenience). Now give one of the two ends half a twist and then reattach the two ends. This way you will create a Mobius strip. The Mobius ring has only one side. To see it clearly, take a pen and draw a line on the paper ring so that the end of the line reaches the beginning of that same line. You will end up drawing the line on the whole surface of the ring.There is no difference between the inside and the outside of the Mobius ring. This is an example of the creator which created everything from him self. Man perceives reality in a dualistic manner for good and evil. The dualistic perception of reality does not recognize the one force behind existence.
Cutting the Mobius strip into two!
Take scissors and cut the Mobius strip in the middle - instead of two rings you will end up with one larger Mobius ring! This shows the idea of duality - when you perceive the One through the duality perception you get the illusion.Cutting the Mobius strip into three!
Now, cut the strip about 1/3 from the width. You will end up with two rings, a big one and a small one, one inside the other. To understand the meaning of this, let's look at the Hebrew names of God.Mobius strip and the Hebrew names of God
The Jewish tradition prohibits the pronunciation of the name of God. However the names of the Creator (as they appear in the Hebrew old testament) are not names at all but only symbols which lead to truths. The first Hebrew name for God is "EL" which means "into" - a definition of direction without a particular goal (since the creator is everything and everywhere).The numerological value of the first letter in the word "EL" is 1 and the second letter has the numerological value of 3 which means the one who is three or the holy trinity. When you cut the Mobius strip into 1/3 you get the bigger ring - the macro and the Creator and the smaller ring - the creatures, the living beings.
Taking the Hebrew word ELOHIM apart you get three words: "EL" (God in a male aspect), "ELA" (God in a female aspect) and "ELIM" meaning gods. Once again we have the holy trinity - male, female and plural.
Even the Hebrew name "Yehova" contains the words "haya" (was in Hebrew), "hove" (is now) and "yeeheeye" (will be) giving us the cycle of time…
When we realize who we truly are, the cosmic joke will reveal it self!

The Charm Bracelet- What Powers Do They Possess?
It seems that no one knows for sure.
where charm bracelets originated, But
throughout history there was always an interest in the occult, and a
demand for charms and amulets, so this could be how charm bracelets
started. Most charms were made out of different types of natural gems or
stones, that were carved with designs on them. Usually of their gods, or
animals whose power the wearer wanted to possess. They were generally
worn for protection or to bring luck.
gifts and trinkets. These were worn in lockets or in bracelets. The
trend started that when celebrating a special event a new charm was
given. They would then, and still do, represent special interests or
hobbies, or loved ones. Of course the more variety, the more interesting
the bracelet.
often purchased as a keepsakes, passed down through generations as a family
heirloom. New owners will then add charms that are special to them, in a
way, making it their own.
One type of charm bracelet that is new is the
Italian Charm Bracelet. Most charm bracelets are worn with charms
dangling from it. The Italian charm bracelet has charms that are soldered
directly to the chain, and the links are made so that they can be removed.
That way, charms can be added or changed. They are very trendy at this time.
uniqueness of these bracelets is that we can change them to show our
interests, loves, and add our treasures to them. They become a part of us.
It is this specialness that turns an ordinary piece of
jewelry into a treasure our hearts, and becomes a family heirloom.

Beauty in jewels for any style and season
For all times jewelry has remained the most desired gift for a woman. However, choosing an appropriate piece of jewelry isn’t easy despite a big amount of offered adornments. Some adornments suit for every day and are good for any dress and occasion – they are rather small and moderate, but elegant and always fashionable. Other ones are meant for celebrations – parties, anniversaries, weddings. This kind of jewelry is allowed to be more remarkable. However, the most expensive adornment doesn’t always mean the most suitable one.
The latter-date fashion is rich in the astonishing variety of designers’ know-hows. One can get lost while choosing jewelry from thousands of perfect examples of jewelers’ art. However, no matter what, you will never make a mistake if you choose classics. It has passed the most difficult test – time check-up. It includes chains plaited in all possible ways – the adornments offered by famous Coco Chanel and enthusiastically accepted by public that remain popular up to this very day.
Rings take a special part in jewelers’ art. They are worn by almost every woman. But are they really beautify? Indeed they are, if suit to a person’s style. Women of a small height with tiny hands would rather wear narrow rings with one or several small jewels. Rings with oval or pear-shaped gemstones visually make a hand more delicate and refined. Girls and young women are recommended to wear rings with one small jewel, for middle-aged women rings with bigger jewels or scatterings of tiny ones are preferred. For shorter fingers one shouldn’t choose large wide rings. It is not recommended to wear more than two rings.
Jewelry, as long as clothes, is meant for emphasizing all one’s benefits and stressing all attractive features. An appropriately selected jewel can attract attention to an eye color, necklaces or chains with pendants – to delicate neck skin. It is not recommended to wear a big amount of jewelry or adornments that disagree in style or color.
Jewelry is different for every season and occasion. In summer the choice of adornments is almost unlimited. However, in winter, clothes and jewelry should be more moderate and reasonable. The adornments for the winter season are not very remarkable – small clips or earrings to emphasize complexion would suit perfectly.
Diamonds and other jewels, pearls, golden and silver adornments look most impressive in the evening light. Large brooches, pendants, necklaces, big earrings, bracelets of various colors of shine perfectly combine with evening dresses. Sometimes a tiny piece of jewelry can change a person completely, if the adornment is stylish and correctly selected. Appropriate earrings create harmony between one’s figure and the shoulder line. Earrings with pendants or large and round ones are not recommended for women with broad face or glasses. Such kind of earrings would rather be worn by young and middle-aged women with oval face. Small flat earrings perfectly suit for round-faced women. Young girls would rather avoid large earrings.
A high-necked dress combines with either beads or earrings. For a lower-cut d?collet? both kinds of adornments can be used.
Bracelets are usually worn on the right hand. Moreover, bracelets with jewels should fit tightly to the hand and the hoop-shaped or chain-shaped ones should be loose. For both hands only twin bracelets can be worn. Thin wrists can be beautified by a set of delicate bracelets. However, such kind of adornment isn’t the best choice for a woman with plump hands – it would hide all her attractive features.
On the whole, one can wear large and tiny adornments, a single one or a set of jewelry, colored and of various shapes, materials and combinations. There is only one condition – jewelry should be of impeccable taste.
However, this is only theory. While choosing jewelry, a man can hardly determine a personal style of a woman to select the best adornment. Here are several simple pieces of advice that can help you in this challenge:
1) Look and listen!
To understand what jewelry is preferred by a women sometimes a quick research of already existing adornments is quite enough. In that way, you can determine her individual style and understand which adornments are still lacking. For example, if your special person wears pearl necklace she will be happy to be presented with a pair of refined pearl earrings. You can unexpectedly show her pictures of jewelry and ask her about her likes and dislikes. Her answer will help you in your research.
To select a ring you can measure the diameter of her ring. That will be necessary for a shop assistant to offer the needed size.
If your special person has thin fingers then buy her a wider setting or smaller gemstone, as larger gemstones on thin settings will have tendency to twist and turn. If you are set on a larger gemstone then have the jeweler modify the ring with the addition of 2 small spheres of gold soldered at 8 and 4 o’clock on the inside of ring shank. This will allow the ring to slip over the knuckle but provide a tighter fit around the finger keeping the gemstone on top for everyone to see.
2) Appreciate her personality!
If she is a romantic kind of person, present her with a heart-shaped pendant, necklace or a ring with a heart-shaped gemstone. If she prefers classics or business style then an elegant diamond ring, a pair of refined diamond earrings or a flat-unit chain is the best choice.
Earrings are an excellent choice, but it is important to know if she has pierced ears or prefers clip-on mountings. Does she like long earrings or does she prefer studs.
But you can do even more than that! Sun, dolphins, butterflies and other beautiful shapes would be really appreciated by her. You would rather avoid ultrafashionable designers’ adornments or a just-for-a-party style since you are sure she would definitely like that.
3) Ask her friends!
Her sister, mother or friends can tell you about her likes and help you choose the best sphere for research. You can definitely ask her by watching what attracts her attention at the jeweler’s.
4) Do homework!
Knowing what colors she likes to wear can help you in deciding what color of gemstone would match her wardrobe, especially if its earrings or a necklace. Know her skin tone or dominant make up color as different colors of gold look better on different skin tones or make-up colors.
Your beloved one can be unsatisfied if you present her with a jewel that doesn’t agree with her horoscope.
Jewels and gemstones are believed to have special features and supernatural powers according to the Zodiac signs. They say, precious gemstones give magical protection to the people that have them as talismans. They help in achieving goals, granting wishes, protect from illnesses and misfortune.
Jewels are often involved in various legends, superstitions and beliefs. Only presented or bought jewels are considered to be true talismans.
Know about all dates that are important for her. Presents are not just for birthdays or Christmas – they are always welcome.
5) Present stylishly!
If you choose a pendant remember about an appropriate chain, so that she could wear it at once. You would rather pack it into a beautiful box and present it together with flowers. Romantic atmosphere would also be perfect for such occasion!
To be sure about the present for the next time you can buy a set of jewelry and present it in parts. For example, you can give her a ring for Christmas and the earrings from that very set – for the wedding anniversary.
6) And the most important one:
If you are still unsure about a gift – present her with a diamond ring.
Most of the women want a large diamond; remember that a larger diamond creates the illusion of power, wealth and influence. But to some women that may not be comfortable to wear. So it is always better for your special person to be humble with a smaller diamond which will not clash with her persona, something she may feel at ease wearing that is more humble to her soul. This will avoid a gaudy yet risky to wear ring also in fear of having it stolen. The size of the ring has to be decided as per the size of the finger also – the bigger the finger the bigger the diamond, the smaller the finger the smaller the diamond. Otherwise, the ring may once again look overawing unfit to her beautiful finger.
Such gift is relevant at all times – actually in this case the fact is much more important than a diamond size.
