Continue readingFancy coloured diamonds are very rare and very beautiful! They come in all sorts of colours such as yellow, champagne, cognac, green, pink, blue, red, violet, grey, black, orange, etc. Their colour is graded with a different scale unlike the D-Z for white colourless diamonds.
When describing the colour, there you have to take in consideration the strength of the colour, followed by the secondary colour and lastly the primary colour, e.g. Fancy Vivid Brownish Yellow.
Strength of colour is graded by the GIA such as Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Vivid or Fancy Dark, which describes the combined effect of tone and saturation. To read more about this you can go to http://www.gia.edu/lab-reports-services/diamonds/diamond-reports/index.html.

Continue readingDiamond jewellery is a must in every ladies’ wardrobe.
Standard diamond jewellery would be:
1. A solitaire diamond ring
2. A pair of diamond studs
3. A diamond pendant
4. A statement diamond ring (with 3 or more diamonds)
Optional
1. Tennis bracelet
2. Tennis necklace
3. A Fancy coloured diamond piece of jewellery.
Diamond jewellery are like icing on a cake. They add spice to a lady’s features and accentuate her assets. For instance if she wants to let people be attracted to her elegant wrist, she can put on a tennis bracelet. A diamond pendant adds dazzle to her neckline, a 3carat diamond solitaire ring can be a loud fashion statement or a pair of diamond studs can add sophistication to the way people perceive her.
At Far East Gems & Jewellery, we make sure that every piece of jewellery we make is of high quality workmanship. We always check that every diamond is set well, each claw holds on to the diamond properly and every claw is shaped in the proper way. The diamonds that we use would be as per your specifications nothing less but sometimes more. To ensure that your diamond jewellery looks as stunning as the first time you saw them, we offer a complimentary cleaning service. We also provide jewellery plating services at a nominal fee.
In a nutshell, you will have a peace of mind when you buy diamond jewellery from us.
Continue readingGemstones come in a myriad of colours, there would be a stone for every occasion. Some might just think about Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Blue Topaz, Quartz or Aquamarines. But there are actually so many more gemstones that you could use!
Here at Far East Gems & Jewellery, we spend time to understand our clients’ needs and wants. Different gemstones perform dfferently at different times of the day. For example, “Neon” coloured gemstones like Mandarin Garnet and Paraiba Tourmaline looks best in the night. Their colour becomes more intense and they seem to “glow” in the dark! Or you might want to have a gemstone to challenge your diamond wearing friends! Try Zircons, scientically called Zircon Sillicate (not to be mistaken with Cubic Zirconia), they come in a many colours ranging from colourless to sky blue to yellow to orange and many more! They glitter almost like diamonds but have better value when you compare the per carat price to diamonds! On the hind side, Zircons are brittle when compare to diamonds though, so you would have to be careful when wearing them as a ring.
Another thing that excites me about gemstones… Just imagine a 100 carat star ruby as a pendant or a 500 carat Aquamarine as a belt buckle.
Do you like special effects? How about having a gemstone that changes colour at different times of the day? Or having a blue sheen effect (moonstone)? Want to have asian flavour? (Jade). Be a “star” wear a star (Have you seen a star sapphire, ruby or even a star quartz or a star garnet or a star spinel?).
That is why, jewellery design is not just about design, but rather creating a fusion between design & gemology. Part of our mission statement is to educate our clients about gemology while meeting their needs.
