Haha - emeralds aren't my favorite either, but I can't imagine destroying one just in hope of finding something else. Jan,

Didn't mean to ignore you. Fabulous post, I love this stuff, it's a fascinating subject. Limecello, although I love diamonds more than emeralds, I still couldn't imagine whacking one with my sword and smashing it to bits! Okay, now confession time. Our blog tonight is Diana Ventimiglia's Q&A, which she assured me she would have the answers to me by the 18th. Since I was away all week, I forgot to remind her and now it's the weekend and because of the time difference, we are probably not going to get a reply till Tues NZ time. So I apologise for this, as I know you guys will have been so looking forward to hearing what Diana has to say, not to mention going in the draw to win her critique of your manuscript. But bear with us and look for the blog early in the week. Good luck to you all for Tessa's great prize! Sorry Tessa, I have been absent this week, touring the East Cape of the North.

Hope you still count me in the normal girls category:-) Just haven't been engaged before.. Actually I've been involved with it in more of a scientific way when I was trying to design a diamond jewellery some time ago. and one of the basic things is that when designing the shape of a diamond it's all about the play of light. It's refraction and its reflection. When studying these optical properties it will lead to the calculation of the shape and proportions of a perfectly cut diamond that you had in mind.

Maxine thanks for your big Sacrifice (LOL). Well I learnt that there is a Chameleon Diamond and it is one of the rarest of gem. Also it changes color after exposed to different kinds of light and temperature. Ok, Hi I back. thanks Yvonne, one part down four to go. Maxine thanks for your big Sacrifice (LOL).

I had no idea about the differences in quality and clarity. It is all very interesting. I love my diamond rings. One of them was my great grandmothers and it is by far my favorite.
