This is our last blog before we leave for the Miami antique show. We thought it would be appropriate to blog about something very important to us, not antique engagement rings or diamonds, but the march of the NY Giants to the super bowl!
You ask, why should a diamond/antique jewelry site want to blog about the ny giants? Well, we are so impressed with the Giants, especially Tom Couglin and his coaching staff. When the giants were in the midst of a 4 game losing streak, everyone wanted to fire Coughlin. Instead of changing his philosophy about football and life, he stuck to his beliefs and held the giants together. Wouldn’t you know it, the giants started to believe as well, and now they’re one step away from winning a super bowl.
At discountdiamondringsonline.com we have the same philosophy. We buy fantastic quality diamonds and gorgeous diamond jewelry. We keep on buying and selling jewelry and diamonds and the quality always remains, after the price has long been forgotten. We will continue the blog after the Miami show.

It’s that time of year again.. sun, swimming, hot weather. No, I don’t mean vacation, I mean it’s time for the Miami beach antique show! You may ask why should an EGL, AGI, and clarity enhanced diamond web site needs to pay attention to the Miami antique show. Well, the antique show is visited by diamond and clarity enhanced diamond dealers throughout the world. So what are our friends from the far east (specifically China and India) going to do? Are they going to pay high prices for diamonds, or are they stuck in a slight recession?
If prices stay high in non-enhanced diamonds, this is going to keep the prices of enhanced diamonds high. Hopefully there is going to be a nice supply of diamonds and clarity enhanced diamonds at the Miami show, so we will continue our blog after we come back and fill you in with the news and sun from Miami!

We all want to be part of history. Since we can’t go back, why not buy a piece of history!? This past week Liz Taylor’s diamond and estate jewelry went on sale at Christies auction. What a show it was! Just like at Jackie Onassis’ jewelry auction, people want to own a part of history, and so they will pay the price. Elizabeth Taylor’s 33.00 carat diamond went for 8.8 million dollars! Smaller items, such as charm bracelets, sold for 10 times the estimated amount. Customers also purchased clothing and accesories, anything to touch hollywood glamour.
We find that during a terrible recession money seems to come out of the closet in order to purchase hollywood royalty, or political royalty in Jackie O’s case. When we can purchase hollywood royalty money comes out and then goes into hiding. But, we must add that part of the proceeds will go to something close to Liz’s heart…aids research.

Back in the good old days (of the 1970′s and 80′s), who can remember when women all over the world were wearing yellow gold jewelry. Even in the vintage years 1960′s and 1970′s, yellow gold was still popular. Well, as the years progressed, and the late 80′s and 90′s came upon us, yellow gold was ushered out, and in came white gold and platinum (which actually always was in style). Back in the 60′s and 70′s, jewelry and clarity enhanced engagement rings had to be white. However, I have seen a change in the last few years where our old friend “yellow” has decided to make a reappearance. Mind you, platinum and white gold are still popular, but many of our customers seem to be requesting clarity enhanced engagement rings that are yellow. How long will this last? no one knows for sure but the last resurgence of yellow lasted for 20 years! Stay tuned for our next blog. Happy Holidays!

In our last blog, we promised to pursue whats hot in the clarity enhanced diamond market. Usually the enhanced diamond market follows the regular diamond market, so lets take a closer look.
Round brilliant diamonds are always popular. The majority of people who are buying diamonds tend to crave the round diamond. From our vantage point, 1.70 to 4.00 carat round diamonds are very hot.
Fancy cut diamonds, including pear shape (2.00-5.00 carats), oval cuts (2.50-5.00 carats) and princess cuts (1.00-4.00) are very popular. Depending on the size of the diamond, we can tell you how in demand it
is. It is, however, very hard to find an enhanced emerald cut diamond that is eye clean.
As we stated, the clarity enhanced diamond market is sizzling and we dont see an end to it. Why should we when you can save half the money!?
Be sure to check out our blog for more diamond news!
A funny thing has happened to the clarity enhanced diamond market. While the Nonenhanced diamond market has softened (due to India and Chinas slowdown in buying), the clarity enhanced diamond market has risen.
Let’s take a closer look:
In the past couple of years clarity enhanced diamond prices have skyrocketed. This rise is because of the far east demand for diamonds, and global instability. This has been felt by consumers all over the world, especially the U.S. consumer. As we explained, prices have been pushed up in clarity enhanced diamonds. Now we would expect with the world diamond prices softening, this would have the same affect on clarity enhanced but that is not the case. Clarity enhanced diamonds are holding strong and even though the prices have increased, they are still half the price of non enhanced diamonds. In addition, the supply has decreased. As we posted in our last blog, we think clarity enhanced diamonds are the perfect alternative economically, and can give consumers a wonderful diamond they can enjoy for years to come.
Our next blog will entail whats hot in the clarity enhanced and discount diamond world. Stay tuned.
