India’s Best Diamonds
May 20, 2008
Diamond’s are a girl’s best friend, so said Marilyn Monroe in a movie by the same name. Never was a truer word spoken and none more so than about India’s best diamonds!
While, the first diamond was found 4,000 years ago on the shining sands of a riverbed in Golconda, India; today, from African mines to the hands of skilled cutters and polishers in India, most of the diamonds sold in the world bear the ‘Made in India’ stamp. Whether, you buy a diamond ring in USA or in France, most likely your diamond was imparted its brilliance in Surat, an industrial city of western India.
Launched in the year 2000, India’s Nakshatra diamonds are renowned the world over, leaders in the world of fashion jewellery, perhaps, with a little help from their brand ambassador, the equally dazzling star of the Indian and International film screen, none other than our very own - Aishwarya Rai;
Meaning glory in Spanish, Adora diamonds were launched with much fanfare by Mumbai-based Concept Jewellry (India) Ltd. In 2003. Their Swarnjali collection was conceptualized and approved by Lata Mangeshkar, bear the laser printed signature of India’s living legend. And, like her immortal songs, the diamond collection inspired by her, bears the hallmark of immortality.
Tanishq diamonds featuring amongst the best diamonds from India, launched themselves in 1995 and are fast growing to become one of the best known and loved diamonds to come from the Indian sub-continent.
Other names that find a place of honour amongst some of India’s best diamonds are Kiah, Nirvana, D’damas diamonds. These are diamonds that celebrate modern, independent womanhood, as they target the free-spirited woman of today, a woman that revels in her femininity, even as they make an impact in the corporate world. Bearing the mark of quality, confident in their supremacy, these diamonds come with a warranty for a lifetime and then some.
Sparkling in their brilliance, diamonds from India are determined by the four C’s i.e. cut, colour, clarity and carat, promise eternal love. However, it is the cut of the diamond, an art perfected by Indian craftsmen that has won acclaim from the world’s diamond manufacturers. Indian diamonds are here to stay and having made their mark, they are truly a girl’s best friend and the promise of eternal love! Even the traditional mangalsutra worn by all Indian women as a mark of their married status and traditionally made of black and gold beads, now flaunts the best of Indian diamonds in its black and gold midst!
