When it comes to pieces of jewelry that will win a girls heart it is said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. So the diamond ring symbolizes exactly how much someone thinks of you when they give you one. This is not necessarily true as the person that gives you Celtic jewellery of sterling silver and fashioned into the Celtic cross can love you every bit as much as the one that buys you a diamond ring. This is just a preconceived notion that some people place on the importance of the stone in a ring setting.

Most people who purchase items of Celtic Jewellery do so because the design that is placed on the piece represents something important to them. This is an ancient symbolism and art form that people have strong beliefs tied to. People who purchase diamonds are also looking at what the stone represents to them and to the person that they will be giving the item to.

All of these stones are not equal. You need to know that the stones are rated in their clarity, their color, their size, their weight, and their flawlessness. Yes as hard as it is to believe one of these precious stones can be flawed. The stone ...
... is categorized before they are cut into pieces that fit into settings. A piece that has no flaws can be cut into the shapes the jewelry maker wants them to be but a flawed stone can very well break into shapes that the jeweler did not desire, so flawed stones are purchased for less money.

The stones are also chosen by color when you are talking of the value as well. Some of these items are black, and some are the pure crystal blue that you think of when you see a wedding set. You can also purchase the items in other colors that are natural. You will pay more for the colors that are the rarest for people to find.

The largest one of these stones on display anywhere is the infamous Hope diamond. The stones come in all different sizes but it is very rare for someone to discover a very large stone that is in perfect condition like the Hope is. The clarity of that stone is in itself amazing.

Clarity is another factor that is considered when the worth of these items is being decided. People want the stones to be clear and not cloudy or milky in appearance. The appearance of cloudiness in the stone greatly reduces the value of the stone.

These stones are weighed in the jeweler’s term of carats and not in ounces, pounds or any other weight measure. The larger the stone the larger the carat size is considered to be. You can purchase the items so small that they no longer have a carat size associated with them and are then called a chip. Chips are relatively inexpensive and are found in many department stores when they are advertising the jewelry with these stones for really cheap prices.
