Diamond Scene Important 150

Diamond Scene is a fifth-generation family-owned and operated jewelry company renowned for its vast selection of high-quality diamonds. 

Located in the famous Diamond District in New York City, Diamond Scene specializes in creating covetable custom pieces for clients. Jewelry lovers can visit the Diamond Scene storefront in its ground floor location on 47th Street in Manhattan, and private appointments are available, too. The company is known for its vast selection of luxury jewelry that caters to the most discerning tastes — whether you’re looking for an everyday piece or an accessory to commemorate a special milestone. 

Diamond Scene earrings range from sophisticated but subtle stud and drop designs to sumptuous dangle creations. The brand’s necklace selection encompasses alluring chokers and drop necklaces, elegant pendants, and casual but stylish link chains. Diamond Scene’s engagement rings are exquisitely crafted and set with Burmese rubies, blue sapphires and GIA-certified yellow diamonds. 

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades the color of yellow diamonds as Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Deep, Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid. The most desirable are the last two grades: Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid. High-quality natural yellow diamonds are rare, and unlike the fast-fashion brands that quickly serve up look-alike gowns based on celebrity finery, even major jewelry houses cannot create a collection overnight. Gems have to be sourced, designs created and jewels manufactured. It also takes time for clients to budget for such a purchase.

Diamond Scene’s wide selection of other rings also features yellow diamonds — its inventory runs the gamut from ornate cocktail rings and fashion rings to wedding rings and other types of band rings. The brand has been featured in the New York Times and has exhibited at the Palm Beach Show and the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show.

Also called Y necklaces as they are designed to hang a certain way, vintage drop necklaces are striking and adaptable. They can enhance everything from a casual sweater-and-jeans combo to an elegant heels-and-evening-dress pairing.

Adornment is an ancient human practice, with archeologists identifying early jewelry made from bones, claws and shells. As technology has advanced, so too have jewelry designs and the design of necklaces, from the simple to the intricate.

Drop necklaces come from lariat-style necklaces, which are chain necklaces that end in a tassel or pendant. A drop necklace’s design, meanwhile, is long with open ends, and it usually does not have a clasp. It consists of a single chain that wraps around the neck and a centerpiece — sometimes featuring a diamond or pearls — that hangs down to the middle of the chest. Drop necklaces frequently come in lengths from 16 to 20 inches, with the vertical lines making them appear longer than other necklaces of the same length.

Drop necklaces are extremely versatile, able to be worn knotted, draped or looped. They can be chunky statement pieces or thin, minimal designs. The range of drop necklaces that can be found on 1stDibs can accentuate the plunging necklines of modern looks or add flair to a basic ensemble.
