The Diamond Studio Daily 26/11/2013

At The Diamond Studio we are so honoured to work so close with Scottish football and when we got the chance to create a line with Celtic we couldn't wait to getting sketching and so The Bhoys Collection was born. Our fabulous models Adam Mathews and Jo Ledley have helped see that its popularity grows ! We can create bespoke pieces as well with loose emeralds waiting to be set in to something spectacular. So with tonight's game approaching we wish The Bhoys the best of luck and look back over some key moments in Europe.

1967 - Celtic complete their most glorious season by winning every competition entered: Scottish League, Scottish Cup, League Cup, Glasgow Cup and the European Cup. The climax of the season is the 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the European Cup final played at the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon on May 25, 1967. Celtic thus become the first British (and non-Latin) club to win Europe's most coveted trophy.

1970 - Celtic reach the final of the European Cup again, but lose 2-1 to Feyenoord after extra time in Milan. In the semi-final Celtic defeated Leeds United in both legs. The second leg at Hampden Park was watched by 133,961, the largest crowd ever to watch a match in European club competition.

1974 - Celtic win the league championship for the ninth season in a row - at the time, a joint world record for success in domestic titles. The team reaches the semi-final of the European Cup for the fourth time.

2003- Celtic reach the UEFA Cup final – their first European final in 33 years. Over 80,000 fans flock to Seville, but see the Hoops lose 3-2 in extra-time to FC Porto of Portugal. 


2012 - Celtic beat out fierce competition and gave the fight of the season sealing impressive wins over the some of Europe's greatest the most memorable was the unforgettable win over Barcelona which showed the world what they are made of.

Today's Diamond of the Day is The Florentine Diamond. The Florentine Diamond is a lost diamond of Indian origin. It is light yellow in colour with very slight green overtones. It is cut in the form of an irregular (although very intricate) nine-sided 126-facet double rose cut, with a weight of 137.27 carats (27.454 g).

In at number 42 in our celebrity engagement ring countdown is Olivia Wilde After dating for more than a year, funnyman Jason Sudeikis has proposed to actress Olivia Wilde with a round brilliant diamond in a emerald halo setting on a delicate band the emeralds chosen to match her eyes (awww).

Freedom Rings

The traditional idea has always been that a man should buy a woman diamonds, but things drastically changed over the last century!

Nowadays, women are no longer dependant on men for anything, so there's no need to wait for a man to buy you diamonds any more - if you want them, why not treat yourself?

An ideal present to yourself would be to have us make a Freedom Ring for you - a ring to be worn on your right hand to show that you are completely happy with who you are, whether you're single or married, it doesn't matter!

Freedom Rings can be made to any design, some symbols for freedom (to give you some inspiration!) include: birds, butterflies, the sea, the sun, the mooon and stars, the sky and the wind.

Come in and see us to discuss your ideas!

More about our Product of the Week! (20/8)

Our Product of the week this week is our Sapphire and Diamond Cocktail Ring in 18k White Gold.

Its design is highly unique and is guaranteed to attract attention at any occasion - as well as adding glamour to any outfit!

Sapphires are the crystallised form of Aluminium Oxide and although usually blue in colour, other colours are often found naturally - including yellow, green, orange brown and even pink!

Natural sapphires can be found in Africa, Asia and North America, but in 1902, a French chemist - Auguste Verneuil - created the World's first synthetic sapphires. Synthetic sapphires are used nowadays in things like the windows in armoured cars and in military body armour, due to their toughness and scratch-resistant properties.

Even though the applications of synthetic sapphires are obviously extremely useful, we think real sapphires are far too precious to be used for things like that!
They definitely look better in our Cocktail Ring, don't you agree?

Congratulations!

We are very pleased to hear of a successful engagement this month!

The ring was made by us bespoke, in The Diamond Studio. The gentleman fell in love with one of our diamonds from our collection, and it was set in a beautiful diamond studded band.


The surprise engagement was very successful, and the bride to be was very pleased with her ring! Check it out in the lovely picture they sent us!





We wish the happy couple all the best in the future and hope they have a long and happy relationship.
