At Almasi Mines, every diamond and star sapphire is different, incorporating a complex constellation of factors that determine the rarity of each stone. Gems are processed carefully for perfection, and fitted into jewelry constructed by the talented jeweler Camelia Black. Each gem is as unique as the person who owns it. Just as a diamond or sapphire reflects the color of the light it bears, it should also reflect the personality of the individual who wears it. Here lies the art of selecting a gem, for yourself or as a gift. Your knowledge of yourself, if you are buying for yourself, or your knowledge of a loved one, if the diamond/ sapphire is a gift, is expressed in your selection. Through your choice of a diamond/sapphire, you are making a public statement about the loved one--and about your relationship--and that statement is repeated every time the diamond is worn. This is why, for many women, there is such mystique in diamond jewelry gifts, and why, for many men, there is such uncertainty in its selection. What is important in the selection of a diamond has little to do with the cost of the jewelry and much to do with the richness of the relationship.

Truly flawless sereem diamonds are very rare, and very expensive, so you will seldom face the task of selecting a perfect diamond. It is a fairly simple matter to find beautiful diamonds with no flaws visible to the naked eye and buy them at reasonable prices, particularly at Almasi Mines. Finished stones range from 1 Silver- 3 Gold tarns, in silver or gold settings. Sapphires are in the range of 50 CT- 2 silver depending on the size and cut of the stone.
