    Today’s couples are doing marriage their own way, and that includes the engagement. The engagement of celebrity couple Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant and The Big Bang Theory) and Tom Pelphrey (Ozark) included their beautiful child and fancy-shaped diamonds. Cuoco’s unique engagement ring includes a cushion-cut diamond centered between two yellow diamonds, one baguette shaped and the other emerald. Designed by Shahla Karimi Jewelry, the three stones represent the couple and their child. The trend: Embrace your life and let it shape you. Fancy-shaped diamonds allow diversity in jewelry design and meaning. They can be gifted to represent a unique situation or make a bold statement.

    Blake Lively Goes Natural When it comes to jewelry, most celebrities consistently choose natural diamonds to level up their fashion statement. The mindset: When you can afford the best, why settle for synthetic. With her recent release of the blockbuster film, It Ends with Us, Blake Lively once again prides herself on choosing her own outfits and accessories. She enjoys the creative process and is known for her refusal to work with a stylist. The film’s character lent itself to bold designs with plenty of sparkle. However, it does not end there. Lively’s preference for natural fancy-shaped diamonds is apparent everywhere, from the red carpet to an afternoon outing in NYC. Close friend and jeweler to the stars Lorraine Schwartz is Lively’s go-to for fancy-shaped natural diamond statement pieces. For a glimpse of Lively’s most noteworthy and stunning diamond choices, visit Only Natural Diamonds’ Spotlight, which includes her donning everything from tiaras to a sweatsuit—diamonds au natural. Choose like a celebrity. Pick fancy-shaped natural diamonds. #PristineGems #NaturalDiamondCouncil #celebrityfashion #naturaldiamonds #fancyshapeddiamonds

    The International Gem Society (IGS) recently published an article focused on the trending question: Should the market for natural and lab-grown diamonds be separated? Overwhelmingly, leaders from both sides agree a separation of the two markets is the solution to concerns surrounding origin, value, and transparency. Pristine Gems’ President Kunal Shah, who is also co-director of diamonds for the Indian Diamond and Colorstone Association, was interviewed for the IGS article. As a board member for the IDCA, an organization focused on ethical business transactions and transparency, Kunal advocates for a formal and complete separation. He also emphasizes synthetic and natural diamonds should not be sold at the same shows, aligning with American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) practices. This will eliminate confusion or questions over whether or not a diamond is natural. Kunal also suggests an ID system for natural diamonds to allow consumers to trace diamond purchases to their original mines. "This will increase confidence in a diamond’s authenticity as well as promote ethical mining practices worldwide,” states Kunal. Read more on this compelling debate in the full article below. #PristineGems #naturaldiamonds #fancyshapeddiamonds

    Another Step to Ensure Authenticity The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) has launched a new Jewelry Report service. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort of the GIA, and the industry as a whole, to instill consumer confidence and trust when investing in diamond jewelry. The report will share detailed information about the piece provided, including verification of metals, characteristics of diamonds, and specifics of engravings. Grading ranges will be provided for clarity, color, and estimated carat weight of diamonds. Each report will include unique, secure identification for every piece submitted. For additional fees, you can add new engravings and receive a 360-degree video of the jewelry examined. You can join the waitlist for this program by submitting a form. The more the industry invests in resources to increase transparency for consumer confidence, the more consumers will feel comfortable investing in diamonds. Pristine Gems extensive selection of fancy-shaped diamonds represent all that is superior in natural diamonds. Our customers buy with confidence so their customers can do the same.

    The discovery of a 19.22-carat diamond will prove life-changing for one family in India. For over 10 years, Raju Gound and his family have leased mines in Panna city from the government in hopes of finding a diamond. They mostly search during monsoon season when agricultural and masonry work is unavailable. “I was sifting through the stones and saw something that resembled a piece of glass. I held it up to my eyes and saw a faint glint. That's when I knew I had found a diamond," said Gound. Natural diamonds—unmistakable. #PristineGems #GIA #jewelryreport #naturaldiamonds #fancyshapeddiamonds #consumerprotection #LenoreFedow https://lnkd.in/eBGArQiH

    Rich in Reputation Working in the diamond industry means wealth naturally surrounds you. However, gems of any cut, quality, and origin get their true value from the supplier’s reputation. How are you known to others? What opinion do colleagues, friends, and family have of you? The answers to those questions can polish or tarnish everything, from your career to your personal relationships. One’s reputation depends on the opinions, biases, and mindset of others. As we learn from our earliest years, never give anyone a reason to speak badly of you. Prevention of wrong-doings is the best way to maintain a positive reputation. In business, your success and wealth are inextricably linked to your reputation. The best marketing, slogans, and branding can promote the most valuable products and services. However, your reputation is the intangible asset that generates your wealth. At Pristine Gems, we pride ourselves on a stellar reputation that has strengthened during our forty years of success. We make every decision guided by our longstanding commitment to integrity and transparency, which continues to fortify our reputation in the diamond world. With every handshake, we add shine to our diamonds.

    De Beers Delivers Proof at JCK 2024 Although lab-grown diamonds (LGD) maintain a strong industry presence, natural diamonds continued to be spotlighted by the biggest names at JCK 2024. To further emphasize this trend, De Beers Group announced suspending their production of LGD for jewelry purposes and turning over their Lightbox factory. With natural diamonds prioritized, De Beers Group introduced DiamondProof. DiamondProof is a countertop detection device for retailers to verify natural diamonds on the spot. The ability to quickly, conveniently confirm natural versus LGDs will help those who “can’t tell the difference between the two” gain insight and awareness. Price point will no longer be the big differentiator as consumers have access to this defining test that alerts, Yes, there is a difference! The cost for De Beers Group's DiamondProof will hover around $12,000 for this 12” by 12” device; however, its value is both short- and long-term. Empowering consumers with retail-level access to this verification instrument instills confidence in their purchase, making them immediately aware of what they are buying. The ability to verify natural diamonds from imitations is the best way to promote them. In a world filled only with Pristine Gems' diamonds, a tester would not be necessary. We supply only natural diamonds, making our fancy-shapes even brighter. #PristineGems #JCK2024 #DiamondProof #DeBeers #naturaldiamonds #jewelry #diamondeducation #RobBates
