Diamond Dolphin - Finely Cut & Colorful Jewelry
Finding the perfect diamond for that special someone can be difficult. There are many different kinds and shapes to choose from. Why not go with something more exotic and distinctive? Dolphin Diamond jewelry is just that. With ornate designs, this noteworthy look will make a splash.
There are many different ways to wear a diamond dolphin. It can be worn as a pendant, with the Diamond dolphin hanging at the end of a long necklace chain, near the chest. Alternately it can be worn as a necklace with a shorter chain, where the diamond dolphin falls in between the shoulder blades or rests more tightly on the neck. It can made into earrings, with the diamond dolphins either dangling down below the earlobe or as studs, placed directly onto the earlobe. Finally the diamond dolphin can be worn as a ring, with the dolphin at the center or with the dolphin as the circle of the ring and the diamonds fall in the middle and/or around it.
Once you have determined how you would like the diamond dolphin to be worn you need to decide what material that piece of jewelry will be made of. When working with diamonds the standard metals that surrounds it are White gold, yellow gold, two toned pieces and occasionally platinum. White gold looks silver in color, a mixture between nickel alloy and gold, and contains as much gold as yellow gold does. Yellow gold is commonly used for wedding bands. White gold and yellow gold can be used together to create a two toned effect, with silver and yellow. Finally platinum, which is a pure white metal, is silver in color and significantly more expensive than white gold or yellow gold due to its pure form.
Then you need to make the ultimate choice. How big do you want the diamond, in or around the diamond dolphin to be? Would you like a lot of little diamonds or one big diamond in the dolphin, maybe as its eye or within it's fins, for example? Diamonds, like gold and platinum, come in measurements of carats. Furthermore, diamonds carats are then translated into points with one carat equal to 100 points. Generally dolphin diamonds have at least .01 carats in them. The more diamonds you have and the larger they are, the more expensive the piece of jewelry will be.
Depending on the piece you choose, the material of the jewelry and the size and number of diamonds, diamond dolphin jewelry can range in price. A pendant of yellow gold and ten .03 carat diamonds making up the shape of a dolphin can cost about $100. Add bigger diamonds, say .17 carats to the same piece and the price goes up to $450. A ring can cost anywhere from $150 to $3,500.
With Diamond Dolphins being a more rare item you'll have to do some research to find out who sells them. Once you have figured out what you want you can speak with someone about prices and design specifications.
