What is it about a wedding that gives shopping an added thrill? Be it saris, gifts, a trousseau or jewelry, shopping for your wedding adds to a lot more excitement and effort. In India, a lot of women get their first pair of diamond earrings for their wedding. Over time, this tradition has expanded across the country, and a diamond set is now often a wedding gift by parents or in-laws. A diamond set could include earrings, necklace, matching diamond bangles or a diamond bracelet, and even a diamond ring. When shopping for your diamond wedding collection, it is important to keep in mind the following things.
Budget:
If you don’t have any limits in budget, congratulations. We envy you. For those who do, it’s best to have an idea of your upper limit, so that while shopping you don’t get too carried away. Knowing the budget will also help you determine how many pieces you can buy, and what quality of diamond you can look for.
How many pieces?
Taking a decision on how many pieces of diamond jewellery you would like to buy can help narrow your search. If you do own a few pieces, perhaps you’d like to add a few that you don’t already have. Or if you are just starting your collection, then look at a necklace and earrings first, before expanding to other pieces.

Common Diamond Myths
Myth: Diamonds are the rarest gems on earth.
Fact: That diamonds are presumed to be the rarest gems on earth is often due to the high prices, a belief that has been helped along by the industry. In fact, diamonds are more common than emeralds and rubies. For every carat of polished gem-quality diamond, you need to mine about 250 tons of earth. Or to put it another way, one must sift through 1000 kilograms of earth to get 5 grams of diamond. Loose diamonds are actually quite plentiful, and it is believed that there are enough for each person in the US to have a handful. However about 80% of diamonds mined, are of poor quality and used in industry for drilling, polishing and grinding other hard substances.
