gives boost
to diamonds

FOR CENTURIES, diamonds
have symbolized the mystique of
romance and the invincibility of
true love.

The ancient Greeks thought
diamonds were the tears of the
gods and likened the inner fire of
diamonds to love’s passion.

The first diamond engagement
ring was presented to Mary of
Burgundy in 1477 by her fiance
Archduke Maximilian of Austria.

In recent years, according to the
Diamond Information Center,
70% of ail brides-to-be have been
recipients of a diamond engage-
ment ring.

The recent introduction of
Royal Cut diamonds provides an
exciting option for the ’90s: gems
that look up to 50% bigger and
sparkle more brightly than any
other diamonds of the same carat
weight.

‘Some customers want to be
the first to flash what appears to
be a seven-carat diamond ring,
and to tell admirers that it is, in

’ fact, a five-carat diamoi. 4 ring.

“Others won't tell, they'll keep
it their own quiet secret and let
family and friends think that it is
a bigger diamond,”’ says Glenn
Markman, vice-president of a
diamond jewelry manufacturing
company.

Innovative design and ‘cutting
technology is employed to produce
diamonds that are shaped with
more width on top, giving them
the appearance of being up to
50% larger.

And, unlike traditionally cut
diamonds — which have only 58
