Romantic Fabric Jewelry

My latest creations were born in a warm spring afternoon, when I noticed some fabric scraps near my mother’s sewing machine. Their colors were very fashionable, so I decided to create some accessories which would totally boost my spring/summer look.
I mixed them with vintage buttons and beads…here is the result!
You will find these necklaces and rings in my shop very soon: www.wakamesalada.etsy.com

Coming back to types, Natural Diamonds can be categorized into 4 types, depending on the impurity levels.
- 1a – It is the most common form of Diamonds and contains about 0.3% of Nitrogen. It absorbs blue light and so are generally light yellow or brown in color.
- 1b – They are very rare in nature, about 0.1% of total. In them the nitrogen atoms occur isolated throughout the carbon lattice. In general have a more intense color than Type Ia diamonds, absorbing green as well as blue light. They can appear yellow, orange, green or brown in color.
- 2a – They contain very negligible amount of impurities and are considered purest form of Diamonds. These are generaly colorless.
- 2b – They occour very rare and may contain even lower concentrations of nitrogen than 2a. But they contain boron impurities at the atomic level, because of which they are generaly bluish in color. They constitute about 0.1 percent of total
Other than natural Diamonds, diamonds can be synthesized too. Two of the methods used are High Pressure High Temperature Synthesis using graphite and another growth technique called Chemical Vapour Deposition(CVD).
So thats all we had on types of Diamonds, we will be back with next post in this series soon.
