The Legacy of Diamond in Jewelry Design
Antique diamond rings, diamond tiaras and dazzling vintage diamond earrings are on the wish lists of every lover of fine jewelry. And diamonds and diamond jewelry are primarily associated with storybook engagements and red-carpet grand entrances — indeed, this ultra-cherished gemstone has a dramatic history on its hands.
From “A Diamond Is Forever” to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” pop culture has ingrained in our minds that diamonds are the most desired, the most lasting and the most valuable gemstone. But what makes the diamond so special? Each stone — whether it’s rubies, sapphires or another stone — is unique and important in its own right. April babies might claim diamonds for themselves, but just about everyone wants this kind of sparkle in their lives!
There are several factors that set diamonds apart from other stones, and these points are important to our gem education.
Diamonds are minerals. They are made up of almost entirely of carbon (carbon comprises 99.95 percent; the remainder consists of various trace elements). Diamonds are the hardest gemstones, ranking number 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Even its name, diamond, is rooted in the Greek adamas, or unconquerable. The only object that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth at very high temperatures (1,652–2,372 degrees Fahrenheit at depths between 90 and 120 miles beneath the earth’s surface) and are carried up by volcanic activity. Diamonds are quite rare, according to the Gemological Institute of America, and only 30 percent of all the diamonds mined in the world are gem quality.
In the 1950s, the Gemological Institute of America developed the 4Cs grading system to classify diamonds: clarity, color, cut and carat weight. Not all diamonds are created equal (there are diamonds, and then there are diamonds). The value of the diamond depends on the clarity (flawless diamonds are very rare but a diamond's value decreases if there are many blemishes or inclusions), color (the less color the higher the grade), cut (how the diamond’s facets catch the light, certain cuts of diamonds show off the stone better than others) and carat weight (the bigger, the better).
When you start shopping for a diamond engagement ring, always prioritize the cut, which plays the largest role in the diamond's beauty (taking the time to clean your diamond ring at least every six months or so plays a role in maintaining said beauty). And on 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
Shop antique and vintage diamond rings, diamond necklaces and other extraordinary diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A marquise-cut diamond looks great in a variety of settings, but you should choose one that protects the center stone. Some of the top marquise diamond ring settings are bezel, prong and halo. Find a variety of marquise-cut diamond rings on 1stDibs today.
- Are Marquise diamonds good?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Whether marquise diamonds are good is largely a matter of personal preference. However, many people appreciate the shape of the cut or feel that it looks flattering on their hands. Also known as the navette cut (meaning “little boat” or “sailboat” in French), marquise-cut stones are easy to identify due to their elliptical shape that is tapered on both ends. Stones with a marquise cut are considered modified brilliant because they have 58 facets. On 1stDibs, find a variety of diamond jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023What a marquise diamond symbolizes is largely a matter of individual interpretation. Some people associate the elongated shape with joy and happiness, while others believe it is a symbol of love. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of marquise-cut diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Marquise cut diamonds can be less expensive per carat compared to other popular diamond shapes. The 4Cs, the grading system that was established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in the 1950s, are the guidelines that determine how marquise diamonds are graded. The price of marquise cut diamonds will be affected by market conditions as well as the aforementioned 4Cs, which are carat weight, color, clarity, and cut quality.

- What is a flower set diamond?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A flower set diamond is a setting where a diamond is surrounded by a smaller cluster of diamonds, giving the appearance of a flower. Flower set diamonds are a popular choice to add more sparkle and increase the size of a piece. Browse an array of flower set diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A channel diamond setting refers to a diamond gemstone ring with a specific setting called a channel. It is a deep groove carved into the metal band. A jewelry maker sets diamond accent stones into the setting so they are level with the shank. You'll find a collection of diamond gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
- What is an illusion-set diamond?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An illusion diamond setting helps to enhance the size of the stone. The precious metal the ring is made from is intricately designed around the diamond. From a distance, this makes the diamond itself appear much larger. Shop a collection of illusion-set diamonds from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021One of the best settings for oval diamonds is the prong. The most frequent and classic setting type, it exposes the majority of the diamond and lets more light penetrate, increasing its brightness and shine.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Whether Cartier will set a loose diamond depends on the circumstances. If you purchased a piece of Cartier diamond jewelry and the stone has come loose, contact customer service for assistance with repairs. Cartier will usually not place a loose diamond that you purchased elsewhere in one of their settings. Find a wide range of Cartier diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The best setting for a solitaire diamond is the prong setting. In such a setting, the stone is held in place with a minimal amount of metal allowing more light to pass through the diamond resulting in added brilliance. Find a collection of solitaire diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best setting for a cushion-cut diamond depends on personal preference. The cushion cut is often referred to as a pillow cut due to its square or rectangular shape with rounded edges. This stone cut comprises 58 facets, like brilliant stones. The cushion cut has been popular since the 18th century. Browse a collection of cushion-cut diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Most experts agree that a prong setting is best for diamond stud earrings. Prongs help keep diamonds securely in place. Three-prong settings allow for more of the diamond to remain visible, while four-prong settings may be slightly more secure. For diamond stud earrings with weights of 2 carats or more, a six- or eight-prong setting can increase stability and security. Explore a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best setting for an emerald-cut diamond is a matter of personal preference. For emerald-cut diamonds, solitaire and pavé settings are popular. The emerald cut comprises 58 facets and truncated corners on a rectangular step-cut stone. The flat pavilion of an emerald-cut diamond can magnify the stone’s imperfections, so the gem’s clarity is key. Initially a popular cut for emeralds only, it is now used on other precious stones, but the name has come to define the style. Find antique and vintage emerald-cut diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023There is no single best setting for a diamond tennis necklace. You can find tennis chains with both prong and bezel settings, and both types can keep diamonds secure when they are well crafted. The biggest difference is that full bezel settings encircle the gemstones, while prongs hug the stones with three or four metal elements, leaving most of their edges visible. Feel free to choose the type of setting that appeals most to you. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of diamond tennis necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between pavé and channel set diamonds is the setting. On pavé jewelry, tiny beads or prongs hold the individual gemstones in place. Channel settings are deep grooves that hold diamonds, eliminating the need for prongs or beads. Shop a large collection of diamond gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
