'Diamonds are a girl`s best friend'. So the song goes. Whether they are a 'friends' or not, they are prized and portable. Diamonds used as ornaments originated in India at least 4th century BC. India was the main source of diamonds for Europe until the 18th century AD when they were found in Brazil and South Africa. South Africa quickly rose to become the world`s largest diamond producer.

Diamonds are valued because of their rarity and because of their ability to disperse white light into a spectrum of colors. In the 1900`s, a method of grading diamonds was developed that is still used today. The 4 C`s used in diamond rating are carat, clarity, color, and cut. The history of a diamond can influence its value as well, you can see it all kinds of vintage designer jewelry.

The idea of wearing something around the wrist or upper arm dates back to 5000 BC in ancient Egypt.Throughout various cultures, bracelets were worn for good fortune, to provide protection from evil spirits, to denote status, or more currently, to promote awareness of something. Many styles of bracelets come in and out of style.
