Diamond jewelry takes an architectural direction in cleanâ€" looking pieces featuring the Square shape, also known as the Princess. The look is bold and aggressive. The famous "Red Cross Diamond," an example of the square cut, has the distinction of also being a pale canary yellow, a colour of diamond much sought after by Indian princes. At one point, it was assumed brought by a member of a European Royal Family; however, the identity of it‘s present owner is unknown. THE SQUARE Oakville Cycle Sports 0 fine jewellery L) 312 Lakeshore Rd. E., Oakville 844â€"7220 The Oval shaped diamond is distinctive for it‘s feminine shape. A slightly elongated form gives off a sparkling, "twinkling" appearance, catching and reflecting light from all directions. The resurgence of more feminine fashâ€" ions makes the Oval a natural choice for today‘s sophisticated woman. One of the world‘s most famous Oval shape diamond is the "Kohâ€"iâ€"noor," which resides in the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. A Very Comfortable Bike For The Recreational Rider!

E., Oakville 844â€"7220 One of the most elegant diamond shapes is the Marquise. The shape is oblong and characterized by pinpoint flashes of fiery brilliance that come to a point on both ends. This shape is often used as a centre stone, mixing ovals and rounds as accent stones in contemporary mountings. It was named after the exquisite Madame de Pompadour, renowned marquise, duchess and mistress of Louis XV. THE MARQUISE He has restructured the diamond prices in his own store in accordance with the guide. In relation to other stores, Srigley feels the guide will serve as a valuable tool and should be considered as a source of additional market information along with the four Cs. As far as Srigley is aware, this is the first time a guide of this type has been made available to the public by a retail jeweller, and as far as he‘s concerned, it‘s been too long in coming. "People should have as much information as possible when making a diamond purchase, especially given today‘s economic environment. It is my sincere hope that the guide will diminish somewhat the anxiety that so often accompanies such a purchase, by clearly indicating the relationship between quality and price. A diamond may be chosen with the heart, but is ultimately paid for with the pocketâ€"book."

Ralph Srigley â€" owner of Srigley‘s Fine Jewellery in downtown Oakville, includes a Diamond Price Indication Guide in his new brochure, designed to help you navigate your way through the often murky waters of today‘s retail diamond market. On the cover is the Latin phrase Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware), which according to Srigley, is apt because diamonds are a commodity most people know very little about. He says misrepresentation within the retail industry can be intentional or unintentional, but can result in a customer paying too much for what they‘re buying. After 13 years in the industry, Srigley wanted to help "clarify" the truth with his brochure. (He has also published numerous public education articles, most of which have appeared in the Oakville Beaver.) He started by compiling explanations and a history of the four Cs of diamond gradingâ€" Clarity, Color, Carat Weight and Cut. But Srigley also recâ€" ognized the value of pictorial images, so he included numerous illustrations demonâ€" strating the visual differences between various Cut and Clarity grades. Though the text and illustrations were almost complete, he still felt his guide lacked something. It then occurred to him that a comprehensive diamond guide would really fill the bill. The question, however, was how to create such a guide. For example, an index for diamonds ranging in weight from .30ct to 2.00ct in all cut, color, and clarity grades alone would require a list of more than 18,000 different prices. A daunting task, indeed. After much thought and a laying to rest of several calculators, Snoley eventually came up with his Diamond Price Indication guide. If you‘re thinking of buying a diamond, then you need a copy of Ralph Srigley‘s Oakville, 844â€"7220. m The Pear shape diamond is eminently pleasing due to it‘s irregular shape. It is not symmetrical, but round on one side and pointâ€" ed at the other end. Certainly, two of the most famous Pear shaped diamonds are "The Indore Pears", which achieved international prominence in 1962 when an Indian exâ€"Maharajah bestowed them on an American heiress from the Pacific Northwest, who wore them as pendant earrings.

Rectangular in outline, it‘s four corners and leftâ€" right symmetry makes it a symbol of discipline and order. In 1949, King Farouk of Egypt bought the "Jonker Diamond," an exquisite example of an Emerald shape. But following his disposition and exile in 1952 it‘s whereabouts remain a mystery. THE EMERALD
