Diamonds Selection

The Diamond:

The Diamond is THE precious stone, it is eternal, it is pure, it is timeless.

But do you know its origin?

Diamond comes from far away: the carbon which constitutes it had to crystallize during hundreds of
millions of years in more than 200 kilometers of depth, under enormous pressures. It is the volcanic
eruptions that push the diamonds towards the surface. The first diamonds were discovered 2000
years ago in India and the largest diamonds in the world come from this country. In the 18th century,
Brazil became the main supplier, before handing over to South Africa in 1870. Today, it is Australia
that holds the rope: one diamond out of 4 comes from there and they are almost all reserved for the
industry.

At Les Pierres de Julie, we offer you a selection of refined and elegant jewelry, from vintage watches
paved with diamonds to engagement rings or solitaire diamonds, not to mention diamond earrings:
The diamond is omnipresent. If you like the pure side of diamonds as well as its extravagant side, you
are likely to be seduced by more than one of our wonders.

A ring? A bracelet? a necklace ? diamond earrings.

Choosing can be more complicated than expected when there are so many options to choose from.
Moreover, these are purchases that require careful consideration. The question will arise:
Is it a purchase for a birthday gift? For a marriage proposal, for a birth or just for your own pleasure?
Is it a diamond jewel that you will wear every day or only for special occasions?
Les Pierres de Julie offers a wide selection of diamond jewelry for all types of events and gives you
personalized advice.

For an ideal engagement, why not choose a Solitaire Diamond ring or a Marguerite Diamond ring?
For a birth gift, as diamond is the birthstone of the month of April, you could consider a pendant
centered with a brilliant cut, pear cut or heart cut diamond.
Diamonds are equally at home in 18K yellow gold, white gold or rose gold.

For those of you who would like to indulge yourself, why not treat yourself to beautiful diamond hoop
earrings or vintage sleepers with antique cut diamonds.
Finally, a timeless and timeless model that will please all occasions, remains the diamond tennis
bracelet. But do you know why it is called the tennis bracelet?
It's because Chris Evert lost his diamond bracelet during an important match of the US Open. When
she realized it, she asked for the match to be stopped, which was being broadcast live on television,
and she started looking for it. When she finally found him, the legend was written. This is how the
legendary "Tennis bracelet" was born.

A budget to plan:

Indeed, all diamond jewelry has a certain cost and not the least. A consequent budget is necessary.
Currently, you should count at least 1 500€ for our entry-level diamond jewelry. However, we receive
new items on a regular basis, including vintage diamond jewelry with more affordable prices.
Please note that the larger the diamond, the higher the price. If you have a small budget, opt for
jewelry with small diamond paving’s or jewelry with old cut diamonds, jewelry from the Art Deco
period, retro or vintage jewelry. On the other hand, if you have a budget of more than 7000/8000 €
you can opt for a more important central diamond.

It is also good to know that the most expensive diamond cut is the brilliant cut (round diamond), but
many other shapes and sizes are available: heart cut diamond, emerald cut (rectangular), pear cut,
princess cut (square), cushion cut.
