Hello! I’m planning a big purchase and I’m torn. Should I go for a classic large diamond or a smaller, much rarer colored gemstone? Everyone has a diamond, so I’m wondering if a rare gem is a better choice for someone who wants to stand out.
Hi! I am a firm believer that rare colored gems are the way to go if you want something truly special. Diamonds are beautiful, but they are also very common; you see them on every street corner. I decided to go with a Russian alexandrite from Tsarina Jewels https://tsarinajewels.com/ instead of a diamond, and I’ve never looked back. In the community of gemstones and high end jewelry, a rare colored stone is often considered much more prestigious than a diamond because of its scarcity. A top-tier emerald or a demantoid has a personality and a "fire" that a white diamond just can’t match. Plus, they are amazing conversation starters. I find that people are much more intrigued by a stone that changes color or has a unique history than they are by a standard rock. It shows you have a much more curated and adventurous style.
