DIAMONDS
Secrets necklaces are Berries' flagship product, which until now has contained a variety of natural colored stones. Now it has appeared in new, extraordinary versions made of 18-karat gold and diamonds. The limited collection will include classic colorless diamonds, as well as exceptional champagne diamonds and distinctive black diamonds.
Diamonds – little wonders of nature
They were created billions of years ago, even 300 km below the surface of the Earth, in enormous temperatures and under enormous pressure. They have come a long way, pushed to the surface by tectonic movements and volcanic eruptions, to finally end up in Secrets boxes.
Diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth. Its name comes from the Greek word "adamas", meaning "indestructible" - even before diamond-cutting techniques were known, warriors carried them in their raw form as protective talismans.
Classic diamonds - a universal symbol of beauty
Loved for their sparkle, gleaming reflections and the life they have in them. Color, clarity, cut and weight are the so-called 4Cs of diamond classification. The most valuable diamonds (apart from colored ones!) are completely colorless, completely clean from flaws and inclusions, with a perfect cut.
Brilliants are diamonds in a round brilliant cut – this is what has been enclosed in the new, unique Berries medallion.
Champagne diamonds
Diamonds come in all possible colors. Those in warm, golden-brown shades are commonly referred to as champagne diamonds. These spectacular, characteristic stones come in light, honey, and darker chocolate tones. Their popularity has been steadily growing for several years.
From a gemological point of view, we mainly describe such diamonds as "yellow-brown", but using the analogy for colors, which is the term "champagne", is commonly used, convenient and adequate. The Berries box will contain beautiful champagne diamonds in a round brilliant cut.
Black diamonds
An alternative to classic colorless diamonds are the mesmerizing black diamonds. They stand out from other colored diamonds because they are opaque. Despite their black color and the fact that they do not transmit light, they can beautifully reflect it from the surface of the facets, creating an almost metallic shine. Naturally, black diamonds are extremely rare, which is why dark diamonds or those with a significant number of tiny inclusions are commonly exposed to radiation and high temperatures to obtain a deep black color. Historically underestimated, black diamonds have been gaining fans all over the world for several years.
