It is quite common that people come to us, 'Blasco Joyeros', looking for 'diamond earrings'... Wrong! Well, for example, there is no such thing as 'diamond earrings' as such.

Another major source of confusion blames at zirconia. I'm sure they look familiar, don't they? Well, pay attention because Nor are they the same thing.

Therefore, the price of a diamond does not depend or vary according to its cut, but rather according to its physical qualities, purity and carat count.
Diamonds are the quintessential 'resilient jewels'. No wonder Marilyn held these gems in high esteem, a clear allegory and allusion to inner strength and a reflection of our innermost light that we know how to project outwards with vigour and brilliance.
