A year ago today, a boy fell in love with a girl… and shared it with the world…

*Cue the rewind music!*

We see a lot of proposal stories here at Union Diamond, and while every one is special, it’s rare to find a proposal that really makes us stop and watch. Isaac Lamb pulled off one of those very proposals when he asked girlfriend Amy Frankel to be his wife. I’m sure some of you by now have an idea of which proposal I’m talking about, I mean, it has over 14 million hits on youtube already and only about 300 of those are from our office, we promise. But what you may not know, is the story behind the video. Continue reading →

We talk about a lot of things on this blog, and most of them involve diamonds. But what about that stuff that we set the diamonds into? What about gold? Sure the diamonds are gorgeous, but it’s the setting that really transforms them into something truly unique. Well, that, and it’s really hard to wear a loose diamond, it tends to keep falling off your finger. True story.

So today we’re going to talk about gold, and why it looks the way it does. What makes it gold, or silver, or rose, or purple, or blue. Wait, what? Continue reading →

Ok, so who here is a fan of America’s Next Top Model? I’m sure that’s every one of you, but just in case it’s not, here’s the gist. It’s a show about models, competing to be America’s Next Top Model. Got it? Great. But seriously, it’s a show where aspiring fashion models get put through the photographic wringer in a variety of stunts and fashion shoots that are reality tv gold. And one season, the girls walked in a fashion show, but this wasn’t your ordinary show where a girl walks down the runway alone, no, this time she had a buddy. Continue reading →

In honor of the month of May, I thought we’d take a moment to bask in the myths and lore surrounding one of the most noble gems. Also, ancient Chinese wisdom states that it’s lucky to wear emeralds on a Thursday so there you go. And let’s take bets now on whether or not emeralds can save one from disease and poison since it seems that every single birthstone so far has held this mythical prowess. Continue reading →

You know those random bits and pieces of jewelry that you keep stashed around your house? Most of its costume jewelry given to you by a batty aunt and you keep it because she loved it, but you would never really wear it. So there it sits, hidden away in a drawer for 35 years until the day when you realize that it’s actually worth something, hundreds of thousands of somethings. Continue reading →

I might have said this before, but I love when jewelry news articles start out with adjectives like Huge, Incredible, and Massive. Because then I know that this is going to be one spectacular piece of jewelry/ rough. Although, truth be told, I’m pretty sure that I’ve never seen an article about a normal, everyday, half carat diamond. It just doesn’t happen. Probably because a half carat diamond, while pretty, isn’t exactly a stop the presses event. Not like this piece that grabbed my attention this morning by using the word massive. Continue reading →

It’s 50 degrees in Atlanta right now, which is downright glacial when you think about the fact that it’s May, and well, this is GA. You’d expect this sort of thing from places like Chicago and New York, but we had temps in the 90’s in March, and weather is just not supposed to go backwards, us Georgians could very well start suffering from frostbite. But anyways, for the sake of this post, we’re going to pretend that it’s a balmy 90 degrees, and that we’re sitting at Churchill Downs, waiting for the race to start. (I know they ran the race this weekend… but go with me on this one.) And oh, what’s that, oh it’s my Mint Julep. Ahhhh, that’s nice. Continue reading →
