Diamonds have remarkable optical characteristics. Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Combined with wide transparency, this results in the clear, colorless appearance of most natural diamonds. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green, purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors), which results in its characteristic luster.

What to Wear – Diamond Jewellery for New Yearamp#039s Eve

by Diamonds Direct on February 9, 2012

New year's Eve 2010 is just two weeks away and everywhere, party plans are on full swing, and that means women all over the world are furiously picking out their NYE dresses and accessories.

While most have the art of apparel picking down pat, we still get a lot of requests for advice from women who need help picking out the right jewellery. Especially diamond jewellery.

For NYE, as for any party, remember that whatever your taste, it is important to have a uniform, coordinated look. Start by picking a theme: Does your party already having a theme? That makes it easy. Otherwise, borrow from the new-year spirit or lights, fireworks, and new beginnings.

No other time of the year calls for high-wattage diamond jewellery like new year's eve, and you can never go wrong with large, eye-catching statement jewellery. Find large diamond rings with diamonds clusters arranged in elaborate designs, and pick and pendants to match. But with large rings, remember to leave the wrist bare.

If solitaires are your look, them choose a glamorous diamond pendant with a solitaire in the center, embellished by accent diamonds around it to amplify its size and brilliance. Wear large pendants over a short or mid-length chain.

When it comes to diamond earrings, chandeliers are popular right now – wear over wide-necked dresses or bare shoulders. For a more muted look, choose dangling drops with fancy shaped diamonds that will shimmer and shake as you move your head, catching the light brilliantly.

If you are looking for maximum glitter, invisible setting is an unusual and fantastic choice.In this setting, square or rectangular diamonds are fit seamlessly, so that no metal is visible between the stones and all that meets the eye is the fiery brilliance of diamonds.

What ever the style of your jewellery, remember that big, bold diamond jewellery pairs best with dark, solid coloured fabrics in simple cuts. Shimmering fabric like silks form an excellent backdrop for a glittering diamond pendant.

This new year's eve, when the ball drops in Times Square, we hope you will be the brightest star of the night!
