Bride's diamond choice
gives personality profile
It is important, therefore, to make
your diamond purchase based on
cut, clarity, carat weight and
colour.
Because every diamond has its
own characteristics, and no two
stones arc exactly alike, JA
recommends that you consult with
a local diamond expert, your
neighbourhood jeweller whom you
know and trust. He or she will be
able to guide you, based on your
likes and dislikes, to the best value
for your money.

centuries man has attempted
to access personality through tea
leaves, astrological charts, and even
bumps on the head. Now here's a
new twist. In order to reveal
whether a person is creative,
aggressive, sensitive, earthbound or
dreamy, look at his or her favourite
diamond shape: round, oval, pear,
marquise or emerald cut.
Over the years, veteran jewellery
appraiser Saul Spero has developed
a "personality profile" of
individuals selecting diamond
engagement rings by observing a
direct correlation between the
shape of the diamond desired and
the person's character.
The credibility of Mr. Spero's
observation was based on
psychological precepts, confirms
Dr. Frederick Koenig, professor of
sociology at Tulane University.
"There is a solid rationale behind
Spero's observations. When a
person selects a particular geo-
metric shape, that person gives
expression of an inner impulse... ii
is a revelation of the inner self."
How does it work?
If you like the round shape best,
husband, children and home life are
terribly important to you. You're
content, dependable, and relate
easily to others. You eagerly
anticipate all the comforts and joys
of marriage and motherhood. Even
if you work, a career is not your
uppermost concern.
The security of home and family
(suggested by the round portion) is
also very meaningful to someone
who selects the pear shape. But
you're eager to meet new people
and embark on new experiences
(indicated by the tapered end).
You're ambitious, want to keep up
with your peers and urge your mate
to do likewise.
Does the oval shape diamond
appeal to you? Chances are you
love to innovate and are fully in
your element when you're being
creative. You're organized, but not
inflexible, and have a unique sense
of your own style. You dare to be
different, but are not "far out." The
oval personality is a blend of the
round, square/emerald and
marquise.
Someone who prefers the
marquise shape is outgoing,
impulsive, sometimes temperamen-
tal, sexy and known to be "a
charmer" (depicted by two tapered
ends). You thrive on new
challenges and your partner must
do the same to keep up with you.
Your energies need the outlet of a
career and you're compelled to
achieve your potential. You savour
excitement and don't like to be
"cooped up" at home.
A bit conservative, disciplined
and organized, describes someone
who favours the orderly, angular
square or emerald shape. Often
your mind wins out over your
heart. You think things over clearly
before making decisions. You also
have good executive and leadership
capabilities. Diamond shape, or
"cut," is just one of the all-
important "Four C's" that should be
considered when buying a
diamond. Diamond values are also
based on carat weight (there are
142 carats to an ounce, and 100
points to a carat); colour (the
amount by which a diamond
deviates from the whitest possible,
or truly colourless); and clarity
(determined by taking into account
the number, size, placement, colour
and nature of any internal
"inclusions" or external surface
irregularities).
How much should you plan to
spend? Jewellers of America
recommends a two months' salary
guideline that will not adversely
affect your budget but reflects a
reasonable allowance for a better
quality diamond solitaire. After all,
unlike cars, stereos, furs and VCRs,
this is a one-time purchase that
lasts a lifetime and becomes a
family heirloom!
