Diamonds are the most worn jewellery pieces that are cherished by both men and women all around the world. The variety and uniqueness they have to offer in their designs and cuts are something that makes them more alluring and addictive to the eye. Each diamond holds years and years of stories in it giving it more meaning and depth.

Every diamond has a story from its birth to the time its found, cleansed, polished, sent to stores, and then finally landed on the fingers/ neck of its rightful owners. Many times these stories hold the importance of certain days in our lives like engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, etc, which make them more special for us. It has also always been the greatest and the most beautiful investment to make especially since the value of diamonds keeps fluctuating but is also good during the time of boom.

Diamonds have a big hold in the fashion industry. Different designers and stylists have found their most famous looks and outfits specifically because of the use of diamonds and how they were worn. The abundance of designs in the market has always offered big brand designers the to make fashion statements and make remarkable history in the world of fashion. One such look is Marilyn Monroe and her diamonds that to this date have been the most talked about the look. Many high-end designers have gone with the simpler approach of keeping the outfit minimal but making the diamonds capture all the light.

If you are someone who loves collecting rare and antique jewellery pieces, with different colors of diamonds, you can always try to find the perfect match that suits your wants and modify your collection beautifully. There are ample designs and rare pieces of diamonds that are sent out for auctions which keep the delicacy and importance of such intricate pieces in place.

Having said that, many people collect diamonds not because they like them, but because it is a simple fetish or a status symbol. It is obvious if you go about in your city wearing diamonds that ordinary people won’t wear- that you will get the desired attention and people will notice you as you outstand the crowd. It would bring light to your status and people will think highly of you. Many times people collect such diamonds for showcase purposes only and there are chances they might not even care as much about them.

Diamonds- are they for fashion or for status? The answer is both actually. The fact that diamonds are expensive is never hidden and thus if you are someone who can afford to wear real diamonds- that does reflect on your monetary status as a good impression. Apart from that many designs and stylists, as mentioned above often connect these two dots together to create signature looks for the red carpet. They choose antique, vintage jewellery that has been stored and restored for the name of glory and history they hold. Oftentimes, the stylists grant permissions and then finally create jaw-dropping looks for celebrities on the red carpet. Designers draw inspiration from ancient jewellery pieces and create new collections from them that then, sell for the name of history and glory.

So it is true. With diamonds come the feeling of royalty and they bring fashion to your status in society.
