Everyone knows diamond jewelry and the diamonds themselves, for that matter, are very valuable. Diamonds take a very long time to form and are very rare; this is what makes them so valuable in terms of how much it costs to actually purchase diamonds or diamonds set in jewelry. Even though they can artificially be made nothing can really compare to a diamond that has taken countless years to be formed. Their rarity is also a key factor of worth; not everyone in the world can afford a diamond which makes those who do have it feel all the more unique and special. It is almost like a status symbol for people who openly flash diamonds on a regular basis.

Besides that, they look absolutely gorgeous in the right settings. When placed in a silver, gold, or platinum ring diamonds can accentuate the ring itself or even become the shining centerpiece of it. This explains the popularity of diamond jewelry with both men and women, especially the latter. It has been said that "diamonds are a girl's best friend" and one can easily see why. For a man to give her significant other diamond jewelry he is telling her by this act that she is worth a lot to him and she is one of a kind. She will always remember that. Finding the right piece of diamond jewelry that would look good on her is very hard to do and the time it took to do that is something she will most definitely appreciate and will not soon forget.

Another aspect of diamonds can best be summed with the phrase, "Diamonds are forever." This is another symbolism that women love about jewelry with diamonds. Give a diamond ring to your girlfriend and she will automatically think that you two should get married. This is why engagement rings are engagement rings and why diamonds are the centerpiece of such jewelry. Diamonds are the hardest substance known to mankind and the longest lasting as well; this can be easily interpreted in the same exact way when thinking about the love two people have for one another.

While all this seems much when just trying to look for a diamond necklace for your significant other or an engagement ring for your intended it should be noted that there is a value in diamonds that is beyond the price tag you see when you look at the price tag.

There is a lot of thinking that should go into choosing jewelry for someone you care about. Like one person once said, "The more you know, the better."
