Sparkling drops fly through space and time, falling on the world's catwalks as a sparkling wave. Their journey was not easy. And all in the name of love, purity and nobility. After all, it is precisely these wonderful properties of human nature that oriental traditions attribute to a precious diamond. He purifies human souls. And therefore it is firm and adamant. It's time for him!

Pure and transparent drops of diamond rain froze in shimmering crystals in evening dresses and hats from Halston and Randolf Duke. Evening shoes set with diamonds (Halston) cost thirty thousand dollars. Diamond necklaces, earrings, brooches, bracelets for arms and legs, pendants, headbands - there is no limit to the imagination of artists and fashion designers. Victor Alfaro, Synthia Rawley, Escada are captivated by the brilliance of diamond facets.

Betsey Johnson amused the audience a little, suggesting in the new millennium to change the ideal of female beauty on the catwalk, to shake up the old days. The traditionally flat nature has been replaced by sultry forms of girls."

Of course, jewelry firms will not risk their business so much and offer all buyers in a row such humorous hints. Craftsmen from Germany, renowned for their adherence to strict classical canons, are the favorites of the season today. Indeed, right now, at the peak of their popularity, their sophisticated grace in diamond fashion. It is such products, made in the traditional manner, that are passed down in families by inheritance from grandmother to granddaughter. They always go well with the invariable little black dress and are versatile at any time and under a wide variety of circumstances. The design is also a tribute to favorite and unchanging plant motifs. Sweetly curled gold and platinum stems, strewn with tiny drops of diamond dew, delicate leaves slightly crumpled by a light summer breeze, touching flower petals playing with all the colors of the rainbow.

Not everyone, of course, can afford the contents of jewelry stores. Therefore, you can safely open grandmother's boxes. Down with slogans about philistinism and the style of deliberate poverty!

Only here's the problem. Our lovely grandmothers knew how to handle beautiful things, decorate themselves, mindful of their own dignity, nurtured by a sense of proportion. The main thing is not to obscure yourself with sparkling pebbles, not to become a walking showcase or jewelry stand.

There are secrets, simple and accessible. It is not enough to have diamonds, you need to know how to wear them. A person who truly appreciates magic stones, knows a lot about them, it is easy to distinguish in an elegant crowd. It all depends on the age, height, complexion of the owner of the diamonds. According to the well-established rules of etiquette, young girls should not decorate themselves excessively. You just need to designate your freshness and tenderness with modest, sophisticated products.

Rings - the most popular jewelry, and we treat them quite freely. Although truly sophisticated ladies will never allow themselves to become a "Christmas tree". Rings with diamonds, thin, with a ring, are worn on the ring finger of the left or right hand. And they never put two rings on one finger, even if one of them is wedding. Rings with a large stone, weighing over 10 carats, are usually worn on the index finger. You can also wear rings of fancy models, with several large and small stones. Moreover, this manner by no means suits young ladies, with graceful hands and thin fingers. It is better for them to opt for rings with diamonds no heavier than 1-2 carats with a scree of small stones.

Another favorite piece of jewelry - earrings … The rules are simple: tall, long neck, so long pendants will do. They will be great when paired with a sleek hairstyle. A full lady with a short neck can afford massive jewelry, button earrings. Such products, complete with a lush hairstyle, look especially impressive.

A bracelet worn only on the right hand! If this is a hard hoop or "soft" bracelet, consisting of separate segments fastened together, in which there is no large diamond that defines the center of the composition of stones, then, in no case, do not fix the bracelet motionlessly on your hand, but carelessly lower it down, to the brush itself. Conversely, when the bracelet is decorated with a beautiful bouquet of stones defining its center, you need to pull it up higher.

Brooches … Jewelry with diamonds are graceful fantasy twigs. Young girls, of course, need to choose small brooches. Single flowers or spiders are attached on the left side of the chest, 10-15 cm below the shoulder or near the collar. Collars are usually pinned with massive brooches. A solid color dress, preferably black, is best suited to diamonds. But if there are still dull buttons, then you should know: they should be 5-7 centimeters lower than the brooch. You can pin a light scarf with a bright brooch, collecting it in beautiful folds. Well, in the most incredible and extravagant version, the brooch can be at the waist, if the style of the dress contributes to this.

In no case are diamond brooches pinned to the collars of coats, denim and leather jackets, noble products are in no way combined with knitted sweaters and tracksuits, fabrics with a colorful pattern.

Necklaces and pendants … A neckline is more suitable for a necklace. Although the pendant can be perfectly combined with a deep neckline on a dress, and a necklace with a tightly sealed top. Although the pendant looks best on a closed one-color dress, without buttons and bright patterns.

And finally, the queen of the ball, diadem … Her appearance in public can be dictated by the solemnity of the moment. Only brides and beauty pageant winners are allowed to be little queens.

The best impression on others can be made by successfully combining various diamond jewelry, which requires incredibly great efforts, special knowledge, and artistic inclinations. Let's make a reservation in advance: you should avoid the simultaneous wearing of dissimilar products that are not suitable for each other in terms of artistic design, or, conversely, large quantities of homogeneous jewelry. For example, 3-4 rings or 2 bracelets.

Diamond jewelry in a headset is considered a more sophisticated form of jewelry, the usual combination of items: a pendant, earrings, a ring and a bracelet. Or a brooch, earrings and a ring.

And a few more words about diamonds. How to distinguish a diamond from a fionite with the naked eye? It seems that these stones sparkle equally joyfully and welcomingly. But fionite ages much faster than a diamond. The edges are erased, the shine fades. There is a surefire way to distinguish a diamond from other clear stones. It should be immersed in a glass of water - the diamond will disappear, dissolve. This method has been used by smugglers when crossing the border for many centuries. Therefore, there is an expression "diamond of pure water".

Well, how to understand the numbers that jewelers "encrypt" the quality characteristics of a diamond? First comes the number with the letter "p". It means the number of diamonds in a piece. It is followed by another number indicating the number of facets in the processing of one diamond. Typically, diamond cut is of two types: simplified, 17 facets, and complex - 57 facets. Therefore, in the "encryption" of diamond characteristics, two letters "kr" are written. This is the shape of the cut, for example, in our case - round. There are many such forms - a baguette, an oval. And, finally, the last two numbers, meaning the color and quality of the crystal itself, are written with a fractional line. The first one means color. The larger the number, the darker the stone. It should be noted that diamond crystals have a yellow tint. For example, four is a yellowish tint, five is yellow, and seven is brown. Absolutely light, transparent diamond, which could be characterized by the number 1, simply does not exist. And the last digit after the fractional line is stone defects, since there are no natural stones without defects: there is also no characteristic number one here. A three means that only a professional can notice the defect. Five - the flaw is visible at 10x magnification. The eight beeps: the defect is visible even with the naked eye.
