HATTON GARDEN: LONDON`S HISTORIC JEWELLERY QUARTER

Image
Hatton Garden is a street and area that can be found in the Holborn district of the London Borough of Camden. Though the area is known as London’s jewellery quarter and centre of the UK diamond trade, it is also famous for a wide range of media and creative businesses. History of Jewellery Throughout human history, jewellery has been the symbol of romance, passion, magic, inspiration and earnest feelings. The word “jewellery” comes from the word “jewel”, which was anglicized from the Old French word “jouel”, and beyond that, to the Latin word “jocale”, which means “plaything.” Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of archaeological artefact. 100.000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells are considered to be the oldest known jewellery. Jewellery forms vary from culture to culture and are often extremely long-lived. In European cultures, the most common forms of jewellery date back to ancient times. Adornments for the nose or ankle, which are important in other c...

How to Buy Diamonds Using The 4 C's

Image
We like to think that the jewelry we purchase are a good buy. Quality is an important factor for us jewelry shoppers, but how could we make sure we are getting quality when buying diamonds? First introduced in the mid-20th century, “the 4 C’s” is universally acknowledged as the main way to determine the quality of a diamond. Our quick breakdown on how to buy diamonds using the 4 c’s is here to help you get the best bang for your buck.  Carat  When choosing your diamond, it is important to consider the carat. While most people think carat refers to size or how large the diamond is, it actually measures the diamond’s weight. You can make an easy mental note for this first "C”, the bigger the carat = the better. Diamonds that weigh 24 carats and above are considered top-class diamonds. Another note to keep in mind is that two diamonds can have the same carat weight but differ in value because of the remaining "C's". Color  A grading scale is used to d...

The Future of the Diamond Industry: Man versus Nature

Image
Whether out of thrift or ethics, more and more consumers are opting for synthetic, man-made diamonds over the real thing.                                                                                               While the establishment maintains that man-made stones are nothing more than low-grade fakes that won't ever be serious contenders, industry observers aren't so sure. It's initial to look like man's genius has finally coordinated nature's brilliance. While they don't have the aura or prestige of the real thing, man-made synthetic diamonds - produced in laboratories by superheating carbon seeds in microwave chambers until they form into a plasma ball - still have a lot going for them. For one, lab-produced diamonds are a lot cheaper than...

Antwerp: Are We Witnessing World’s Biggest Diamond Market Crash?

Image
Antwerp’s position as the world’s diamond capital is being challenged by emerging markets in Israel, Dubai, India and Botswana – and three high-profile European heists have netted $188m (£110m) this year. It’s a good day at the Antwerp diamond bourse. The board where bereft traders post notices for missing stones is completely bare, each precious carat in this Belgian port city accounted for. Thefts are rare, but occasionally a speck of the glittering rock can dart off a trader’s bench, or disappear into the folds of packaging and find its way into the bins. And who knows what accident could have befallen the rough stone worth $5.8m (£3.5m) which was nestled in my palm a little earlier? All the wealth the iceberg-shaped rock could buy flashed through my mind. But then I remembered the cameras following my every move; the armed guards stalking the corridors of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) headquarters; the dense security attendance on the path outside in a district whic...
