10 things about Rubies
Ruby, the queen of precious gems, is the birthstone for those, who were born in July. Symbolic of the passion and energy associated with the color red, the vibrant ruby is said to bring love and success. Find below 10 interesting facts about one of our most favourite stones in the history of jewelry!
18K diamond ring with a ruby and white diamonds
1. The word ruby comes from the Latin word “rubens” which means red.
2. Rubies are found in shades of red, from rich darkish red to pigeon blood red and pinkish red. The red hue comes from traces of the mineral chromium.
3. Ruby is the birthstone for July. It is also a traditional gift for those celebrating 15th or 40th anniversaries.
4. Rubies are extremely strong, registering 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. They are as resilient as sapphires and only slightly softer than diamonds.
5. Rubies have been found all over the world, including in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Africa, Australia and the USA. The majority of rubies for sale at Israel-Diamonds originate in Myanmar, Thailand and other locations in Asia.
6. The most precious rubies are those with a full, rich red color with just a hint of blue tones. Originally, the finest rubies were mined in Myanmar and it is from there that the term Burmese ruby began to describe the finest rubies.
7. Almost all rubies have flaws. Rubies without imperfections are exceptionally rare and command prices even higher than diamonds of a similar weight and quality.
8. The world’s largest ruby is owned by a Chinese jewelry company. It weighs 8184 g (40920 Carat) and measures 5.11 x 5.43 x 5.70 inches.
9. Rubies, because of their brilliant red hues, are often related to themes concerning the essence and vibrancy of life. If there is one gemstone that represents the passion of love, it is the ruby.
10. Almost all natural rubies are treated to improve their color and strengthen them.

Less is More
It is true that throughout the years we have come across to many artists and designers, who would embrace and glorify simplicity and minimalism. William Shakespeare had said that “sometimes, less is more”, while Leonardo Da Vinci believed that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. In the meantime Coco Chanel had been saying for years that “simplicity is the key note of all true elegance”. And the truth is that sometimes, truly less is more. In diamonds, this theory can also be applied.
A diamond choker for instance, although it may look so thin, simple and fragile, in the same time when worn with a white top or shirt, it can look so powerful. Don’t you agree?

Summer is a state of mind
Yes, summer is here! And we finally got the opportunity to “travel” our diamonds around the greek islands. And because it’s summer and sunny, we are free to be playful, get creative with colours and come out with multiple, unexpected combinations.
Like this one, where rubies gave us the inspiration to create a “wrist party”. As for the statement ring, we’ re simply loving it. What about you?

Fancy Yellow
Have you ever wondered what yellow stands for? Well, they say that this colour stands for sunshine, hope, and happiness. We totally agree, especially when we see this amazing, canary fancy yellow ring and the way it reflects the light. It kind of resembles the sun. Don’t you think?

A princess’s necklace
There have been many times in the past, when we have talked about our bespoke services and the custom made pieces we create for our customers. For instance, this custom made choker is a one of a kind piece in the shape of a crown, created for an Arabian princess. Isn’t it wonderful?
P.S. It can also be worn as a brooch!

A theory about leaves
The say that in nature, art is the flower and life is the green leaf.
In our case though, the flower is absent while the leaf is so beautiful that it becomes art.
We created these four leaf shaped diamond rings in four different colours. Someone would call them statement pieces.
We just call them our typical rings!

Dali’s Diamonds
Fun fact: During his career, Dalí made a series of strange watches. One of them was up for auction in Sotheby’s May 17 Impressionist and Modern sale in New York. This little brooch/watch, aptly called The Eye of Time, is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
It is one of the many cool mid-century timepieces that can be found from time to time. One of the coolest things about watches is that they can be found in many different forms with many different functions. This edition of The Eye of Time was auctioned at May 17 at Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale at Sotheby’s New York. It was sold for 372,500 USD.

A day with Celia Kritharioti
Our close friend and fashion designer Celia Kritharioti, who every season creates beautiful, feminine, embellished pieces, recently presented a big fashion show at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation in collaboration with the Orama Elpidas Organization.
On the occasion of that event, we decided to shoot some of her creations with our diamond earrings collection. We thought that by combining Celia’s clothes and our diamonds, something even more beautiful would come out as a result. What do you think?
We shot three of our favourite teardrop earrings (ideal accessory for future brides!), our “running river” earrings, as well as our starlight pair.

What happens when a diamond ring valued at $456,000 is bought for $13?
Thirty years ago, a woman in Isleworth, west London, bought an “exceptionally sized” ring she assumed was costume jewellery for £10 ($13) at a car boot sale. Now, after decades of wearing the ring daily, she’s about to get £350,000 ($455,000) for it at a Sotheby’s auction in July, if it sells for its expected price. That’s because the ring is actually a 26-carat, cushion-shaped white diamond from the 19th Century, according to the BBC. Head of Sotheby’s London jewellery department Jessica Wyndham called the ring a “one-off windfall, an amazing find.” According to the Evening Standard, the owners are “incredibly excited.” “Anyone would be in this position, it’s a life-changing amount of money,” she said. “No matter what your background is or what your past experiences have been, it’s going to revolutionise someone’s life.”
The diamond that was bought for $13 and was valued at $456,000.

Pippa Middleton wore “something old” at her wedding
Pippa Middleton adhered to the wedding tradition of wearing “something old,” sporting the earrings she wore to sister Kate Middleton‘s wedding on her own big day.
Middleton married James Matthews in a private ceremony at St. Mark’s Church in Englefield, England, on Saturday.
The recognizable Robinson Pelham pear-cut diamond drop earrings — which she wore during her famous bridesmaid turn in 2011 — complemented her custom silk cotton lace gown by Giles Deacon and custom Manolo Blahnik Seneca shoes. Middleton’s “something old” earrings were part of a set of jewelry commissioned by her family for Kate‘s big day. Kate’s earrings had featured an acorn and an oak leaf, both part of the Middleton family’s coat of arms.

Queen Elizabeth’s Diamonds
A few days ago, on the 21st of April, Queen Elizabeth had her 91st birthday! This is a great occasion to remember two of the most incredible diamond pieces she owns and she has ever worn: Her diamond tiaras!
Funny fact: According to tradition, the Crown Jewels never leave England, so when the Queen travels to another country she will wear one of several tiaras from her personal collection.
Queen Mary’s Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara
The tiara is circular in form with diamonds pave set in silver and gold. Originally the tiara had 14 large oriental pearls at each top; in 1914 Queen Mary adapted the tiara to use 13 large diamonds instead of the pearls for a slight change. The tiara can also be worn as a necklace. Queen Elizabeth is often seen in this tiara in the images on the paper currency and coins of Great Britain.
The George IV State Diadem
The George IV State Diadem was made in 1820 for the coronation of King George IV. The diadem includes 1333 diamonds, including a four-carat yellow diamond and 169 pearls, the circular frame alternates between crosses and a floral design which incorporate roses, thistles and shamrocks which are the symbols of England, Scotland and Ireland. The diadem is one of the most easily recognizable items of the collection since it is worn by Queen Elizabeth in the image on the postage stamps, coins and currency of England; it is also worn in the annual procession from Buckingham Palace to the State Opening of Parliament.

Irving Penn’s Dripping Diamonds
Irving Penn’s still lifes are lean and meticulously organized. His photographs are arranged with an incredible attention to detail. Penn experimented with many techniques, but his black and white prints are particularly notable for their clean, crispy look.

However Pablo Picasso was also a jewelry designer. He has created a variety of golden brooches with his characteristic cubist style.

Our Interview to αθηΝΕΑ.com
Some days ago we had the chance to give an interview to A8inea.com. We spoke about our family business, our inspiration behind the brand, the jewelry pieces and of course the diamonds’ timelessness. Here are some quotes we truly stand by them:
”Truly anything around me could be a source a inspiration. It is a combination of elements and stimuli, which enable me to envision my new pieces. Sometimes it’s the idea of a new piece that comes first”.
“Honesty, ethics, consistency and respect are some of the values we have acquired from our father, in terms of jewelry”.
“If someone is willing to invest in a diamond jewelry piece for the first time, I would advice him to find someone reliable, who is a true connoisseur of the world of diamonds and will be able to make the customer feel safe with his purchase”.
See the whole interview below in Greek:
Η Μυρτώ Δανελιάν ακολούθησε τα βήματα της οικογένειάς της στο χώρο του κοσμήματος και εμπλουτίζει με το ταλέντο, τη δημιουργικότητα και το κέφι της την οικογενειακή επιχείρηση, το Danelian Diamond Club που μετρά πάνω από 40 χρόνια ιστορίας, σχεδιάζοντας μάλιστα κάποια από τα κοσμήματα του Οίκου.
Η συνέντευξη αυτή είχε λοιπόν ξεχωριστό ενδιαφέρον, καθώς μας δόθηκε η δυνατότητα να μιλήσουμε με κάποιον που κατέχει τόσο τη δημιουργική πλευρά του χώρου, όσο και την επιχειρηματική — η Μυρτώ Δανελιάν μας μιλά για την ασυνείδητη πλευρά της έμπνευσης, για τη διαχρονικότητα των διαμαντιών, αλλά και για το πιο ρομαντικό κομμάτι που έχει δημιουργήσει… μια πολύ ιδιαίτερη βέρα!
Q Μεγάλωσες στο χώρο του κοσμήματος και συνεχίζεις την οικογενειακή παράδοση σχεδιάζοντας κάποια από τα κοσμήματα του Οίκου. Ποιες είναι οι βασικές πηγές έμπνευσης πίσω από τις δημιουργίες σου;
A Τα πάντα γύρω μου μπορούν να αποτελούν πηγή έμπνευσης! Eίναι δύσκολο όταν δημιουργείς ένα κόσμημα ή ένα έργο τέχνης να προσδιορίσεις ποιές ακριβώς είναι οι πηγές έμπνευσής σου… Θεωρώ ότι είναι ένας συνδυασμός ερεθισμάτων από καινούργιες εικόνες και ενδιαφέρουσες λεπτομέρειες που πολλές φορές ασυνείδητα αποτυπώνονται στο μυαλό σου. Καμιά φορά πρώτα έχεις την ιδέα και μετά καταλαβαίνεις από πού επηρεάστηκες…
Q Ποια είναι τα σημαντικότερα μαθήματα από την αγορά του κοσμήματος που κληροδοτεί η προηγούμενη γενιά της οικογένειάς σου στη νέα;
A Ειλικρίνεια, ηθική, συνέπεια και σεβασμός είναι κάποια από τα μαθήματα που πήραμε από τον πατέρα μας οι αδερφές μου κι εγώ. Δουλεύοντας στενά μαζί του, ήταν φυσικό να αποκτήσουμε την ευθύτητα και ειλικρίνεια του λόγου του, όπως και τη ζεστή σχέση που καλλιεργεί με τους πελάτες.
Q Τα διαμάντια -σήμα κατατεθέν του Οίκου Δανελιάν- έχουν διαχρονικότητα, σίγουρα όμως η κρίση των τελευταίων ετών έφερε πολλές αλλαγές στο χώρο του κοσμήματος. Τι θετικό έφερε κατά τη γνώμη σου στην εγχώρια αγορά κοσμημάτων;
A Είναι μεγάλη τιμή και επιτυχία που η ελληνική αγορά και όχι μόνο έχει συνδυάσει το όνομά μας με τα διαμάντια. Το θετικό της κρίσης ήταν ότι τα διαμάντια απέδειξαν για άλλη μια φορά τη διαχρονική τους αξία. Πολλοί ήταν αυτοί που σε στιγμές αβεβαιότητας προτίμησαν να τοποθετήσουν τα χρήματα τους αγοράζοντας κάτι που έχει επενδυτική, αισθητική και συναισθηματική αξία.
Μια άλλη θετική παράμετρος είναι η εξωστρεφής στάση πολλών Ελλήνων ταλαντούχων δημιουργών στο εξωτερικό.
Q Πώς θα συμβούλευες κάποιον που ετοιμάζεται να αγοράσει ένα αδαμάντινο κόσμημα για πρώτη φορά;
A Να επιλέξει αξιόπιστους γνώστες του είδους που θα τον βοηθήσουν να καταλάβει τον κόσμο των διαμαντιών και θα τον κάνουν να νιώσει ασφάλεια για την αγορά του.
Q Με αφορμή τη γιορτή του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου, ποιο είναι το πιο “ρομαντικό” κομμάτι που έχεις δημιουργήσει; Μας λες λίγα λόγια γι’ αυτό;
A Ήταν μια βέρα γάμου που μου ζητήθηκε να σχεδιάσω από έναν πελάτη μας από το εξωτερικό. Η νύφη λάτρευε το σπάνιο φαινόμενο Βόρειο Σέλας… και ο μελλοντικός σύζυγος ήθελε η βέρα του γάμου τους να είναι εμπνευσμένη από αυτό!
Many thanks to Marianna Skylakaki! xx

She shines so brightly
If there was someone who could perfectly impersonate diamonds, then this would be the Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark. She is an elegant and stylish woman who sparkles in almost every appearance.
When it comes to a red carpet moment, it’s no surprise that Princess Tatiana is a big fan of our diamond earrings!
She rocks her outfits with these white round brilliant, marquise and pear shaped diamond earrings from our exclusive Yeprem collection.

The many faces of diamonds!
“Diamond ring, wear it on your hand, it’s gonna tell the world I’m your only man”
..once said Bon Jovi in his famous song Diamond Ring.
Just remember, a diamond ring can also stand for contemporary style and elegance.
It stands for innovation and diversity…

discover the hidden carat
When you walk into a Manhattan Art gallery and discover a well hidden diamond in an inspiring painting.
A diamond so small, it was imperceptible to most people.
Except for us, we’d recognize a diamond if it was a little black dot in space!

zsa zsa gabor
‘I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.’
That’s one of the many famous quotes of legendary Zsa Zsa Gabor, the 50s’ hollywood star that left us this month.
Known for her sparkling attitude, Zsa Zsa became the absolute it girl of her time.
Counting endless marriages and lethal quotes, she will forever remain a wild cat in our heart.
Born an Aquarius the 6th of February in 1917, she passed away at the age of 99.
‘I am a marvelous housekeeper, every time I leave a man I keep his house.’
Aouch!

the oldest red
The story of the Moussaieff Red Diamond is the story
of a flawless fancy red diamond with a triangular cut.
It is the world’s largest known red diamond and the rarest of them all.
Its estimated cost in the year 2002 was 8 million dollars…
The stone found in the 1990s in the Abaetezinho River was acquired by the William Goldberg Corporation of New York who transformed the piece into a spectacular red diamond weighing 5.11 carats. The diamond was originally named the “Red Shield” but after its sale to the Moussaieff Jewelers it became the “Moussaieff Red” diamond.
Certified red diamonds are not more than twenty worldwide.
Seeing one in public is an extremely rare event.. keep your eyes open!
The Moussaieff Red was featured in the exhibit “The Splendor of Diamonds” to the Smithsonian Museum in 2003, along with other unusual colored diamonds such as the Millennium Star or the Heart of Eternity.

obama in athens
Barack Obama’s visit in Athens for his last duty as President of the United States of America couldn’t honor us more. Oh wait…Michelle Obama’s style does!
As Barack is set to turn a new page on his career, we take a moment and remember the most stylish First Lady that ever was. Bold, colorful, statement outfits always paired with impecable taste in jewelry!
She matches perfectly statement neck pieces with cocktail gowns…
…She has the ability to turn the outfit into a casual cool occasion even if the White House.. never is.
She styles belts as if they were fine jewelry!
On the cover of this month’s Vogue US issue, Michelle leaves the White House after 8 yrs of many many outfits to be remembered only to be named after Anna Wintour “A Revolution”.

Why D and not A
Diamond color is all about what you can’t see.
One of the 4C’s of a diamond is the less color, the higher the value. What a fashion scandal!
GIA wanted to start fresh and developed the D to Z Color Grading Scale. The letter D might not be normally associated with top quality, but for diamonds, this is quite the opposite!
