WHAT WOMEN WANT
Great Love - Diamonds
I pondered for a bit as I was
writing this series of What Women Want.
What do women want?
So I asked people around me what
their thoughts are. Successful men said,
a woman wants a great man like myself who can give her everything she needs. Successful women said, we want self-reliance,
beauty, health, career, family, puppies, no-chip nails and eventually a
power-partner who can understand me, give me children, and everything.
Every person has their own
opinion. Their respond is a reflection of what they
personally can relate to. No matter what
we want, there is one thing that everybody can agree upon. What Women Want is important to Men!
Let’s look at one of the great
love of women – Diamonds! Men normally
do not think much of diamonds. Rather
cars, yachts, watches, cigars, whiskey, property, but not diamonds. Until you understand what a diamond is, it is
hard to grasp the wonder of this rare entity of nature.
Diamond is a mineral. Diamond is the only gem made of a single
element, carbon. It is about 99.95
percent carbon and 0.05 percent of other trace element of which can influence
its color or shape. Diamonds are formed under high temperature
and pressure conditions that can only be found in specific depth beneath the
earth’s surface. This particular
formation process results in the extraordinary characteristics of the hardness
of diamonds and its spectacular value.
Absolutely colorless diamonds are extremely rare and valuable. The Four Cs concept is a good guideline to
choosing the perfect gem but have you heard of, “Love at First Sight?” When choosing diamonds, apart from
considering the Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat weight,
one should be able to look at the overall beauty of the diamond, and fall in
love with it. There is no doubt that the
combination of the 4 Cs can help determine the value and rarity of the diamond.
Before a diamond cutter considers
the shape of the raw mineral, he must calculate carefully how much weight could
be lost without taking away a lot of the value of the diamond. What is the color potential of the diamond,
and how best to bring out the brilliance and life of the diamond rough. The diamond rough is at the mercy of the
cutter’s hands. An experienced diamond
cutter can increase the value of a diamond by cutting away unwanted clarity
characteristics such as blemishes and inclusions.
Diamonds graded Flawless do not
have visible inclusions or blemishes when studied under 10-power (10X)
magnification by skilled grader.
Flawless diamonds are very rare and command top prices. Large diamonds are much rarer than small
ones. The famous Taylor-Burton diamond
is a 69.42 carat pear shaped amounting to $1.1 million when sold to actor
Richard Burton.
Diamonds are tied to romantic
love stories. They are symbolic to
eternity, rarity, true love, unbreakable bonds.
“Diamonds are Forever” – with the three properties, hardness, toughness,
stability. Like true love, it can stand
the test of time. So, why is Diamond one
of women’s great loves? It is a sparkler,
beautiful, irresistible, valuable, and it is the one true indestructible object
of desire! Trust me, I am a woman.
