The silver Di Aura diamond jewelry collection was developed by
one of the largest and most respected jewelry manufactures in the
country. This collection was created to showcase small single and
full-cut diamonds set in diamond-cut "miracle plates" that
enhance the brilliant white color of each diamond - as well as
creating the illusion of a larger stone. Each piece will have
either a single diamond or a spray of diamonds in a design that
is unique to that individual style.
The Di Aura collection includes pendants and earrings, and all
pendants come finished with an 18-inch silver chain. There are
many different silhouettes to choose from: romantic diamond
hearts, bows and natural shapes to include circles, ovals
and other free-form shapes. Fauna-lovers can choose from a
selection featuring different members of the animal kingdom
including butterflies, bears, giraffes, kittens, bunnies, a
darling little frog, a cute colorful ladybug and even a diamond
web for the spider aficionados. For those wishing to connect with
a more spiritual side, the collection offers elegant angels,
diamond lotus flowers, classic crosses, the popular "tree of
life" symbol and beautiful filigree and Celtic designs.
Along with the whimsical and inspirational, there is also a
comprehensive offering of solitaire pendants and matching stud
earrings to add to your basic jewelry collection; pieces you
reach for everyday, over and over again.
Whatever you might be celebrating, embracing or sharing with a

The Di Aura line is constantly growing and evolving as the
designers find inspiration in both the extraordinary and the
everday. We invite you to come back and explore the collection
often - and we hope you find a bit of yourself in our designs.
Diamond Clarity:
No two diamonds are alike. A diamond's most distinguishing
characteristics are its inclusions, marks that are often
invisible to the naked eye. However, under a jeweler's magnifying
loupe or micro they can look like crystals, tiny rivers, or
clouds. A diamond's clarity is determined by the presence or
absence of inclusions--fewer inclusions mean better clarity--and
how visible they are. The greater a diamond's clarity, the
greater its brilliance and value. A diamond categorized as
internally flawless will have no inclusions, but this is
extremely rare.
Diamond Color:
Though diamonds come in a wide range of colors, colorless
diamonds have traditionally been considered the most valuable.
Most diamonds are graded on a scale using the letters of the
alphabet, from D (colorless), the best grade, through Z (a light
yellow). It is difficult for the untrained eye to notice such
variations in color unless stones are being compared side by
side.
Diamond Carat Weight:
A diamond's weight is measured in carats, with one carat being
equivalent to 100 points. You will often see a diamond referred
to as a 3/4-carat stone or a 75-point diamond. Larger stones are
often more highly valued, but size should not be the only
consideration--high brilliance, which varies according to
clarity, cut, and color grade, is highly desirable in a diamond.
Diamond Certification:
A diamond certificate represents independent verification that
the stone purchased has all the qualities of cut, color, clarity,
shape, and weight expected. It is a further indication of the
condition and value of that diamond as represented on our site.
Such certificates are issued by several agencies employing highly
trained gemologists and provide an unbiased and accurate
evaluation of the diamond. These gemologists scrutinize each
stone to analyze its dimensions, clarity, cut, color, finish,
symmetry, and other details.
Diamonds purchased from the .com Collection may be certified by
the Gemological Institute of America or the International
Gemological Institute. The type of certificate provided will be
noted in the product specifications of your jewelry purchase; if
you do not see a certificate type noted, one will not be
provided.
Our Diamond Policy:
.com sources high-quality diamonds from some of the world's
largest suppliers. All our diamond suppliers certify that to
their best knowledge their diamonds are not conflict diamonds.
Diamond Care:
Diamonds, as the hardest substance on earth, are resistant to
damage. However, diamond jewelry is set in different metals, and
care will vary from piece to piece. Diamonds should be cleaned in
a solution of one part ammonia to six parts water, using a gentle
scrubbing brush to remove any dirt. It is a good idea to have
them cleaned once a year by a professional jeweler, at which time
the security of the setting can be checked as well. Diamond
jewelry should be stored in a soft cloth pouch to ensure that the
stone will not scratch other jewelry.
Sterling Silver History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver,
originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver
was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When
combined with other metals, most commonly cooper, it produced a
tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the
next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for
household items. It was often used as silverware and became the
material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940
throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this
popularity, silver companies began to grow. During this craze,
companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions
in jewelry, as it was a material that was easy to mold into
intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic
finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of
jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious
metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of
metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver
with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with
different as of copper but is most often seen with the .925
stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and
7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination
for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its
sparkle.
Caring for Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household
s such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid
scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is
prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen
sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly
will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon
noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically
for removing tarnish.

To ensure the longevity of your plated items store your jewelry in a dark, cool, dry place such as a pouch or air tight box and avoid rubbing plated items together. Also try to avoid exposure to cleaning products and perfume which can both negatively affect your items. Your local jeweler can advise you where to send your jewelry if you would ever like them replated..
