"Diamonds are a woman's best friend.", is the common saying about the world's most valuable gemstone. Diamonds are an extremely rare and valuable commodity in the world market so its worth can be easily determined four factors: the cut, color, clarity, and carat. From there, jewelers can embed them into jewelry and create diamond jewelry like diamond engagement rings for people to purchase.

A diamond can be cut into a number of shapes including a heart, an oval, round, or a princess cut. Diamonds are graded on its color which can vary and also includes colorless. Yellow diamonds are very rare. One of the darker shades of yellow found in such diamonds is called fancy yellow. Another factor that determines the value of a diamond is its clarity. This is defined by whether or not a diamond has any flaws or blemishes on it. Most diamonds have "inclusions", tiny scratches that were part of the diamond when it was created. A flawless diamond will have no such blemishes is not only exceptionally rare, but just as exceptionally valuable. Carat is the weight of the diamond and though it can factor into the end price of the stone, all the other factors have a major say in what the price will be. The cut, color, clarity, and carat are known as the Four C's of diamonds.

Diamonds have been worth a lot of money for hundreds and even thousands of years. Kings, queens, monarchs, and the well-to-do have been wearing jewelry adorned with diamonds for a very long time. The 20th century has seen the industry grow to the point that you do not have to be the most important person in your country or even super rich to afford diamond earrings, pendants, and the like. A man with a wife and two kids living in a single family home can just as easily afford a diamond ring for this wife as a anniversary present. With many diamond importing companies on the market the competition helps drive the prices down. And just as important to the relatively affordable prices of diamonds are the number of vendors vying for customers looking to buy something special for their significant others. Sales, discounts, and the like offer even more avenues for the average consumer to buy jewelry for their loved ones.

Another popular saying is "Diamonds are forever." When you give your special someone diamond jewelry, this is the same sentiment that you are sharing with the person you love.
