Fret not – rainbow jewellery is here to solve all your styling woes. Its vibrant gemstones and stunning craftsmanship bring a splash of colour that can effortlessly elevate any ensemble, no matter the occasion. 

At Varoujan Jewellers, we’ve cracked the art of creating rainbow jewellery that not only stands out but also adds a personal touch to every look. Whether you’re aiming for something bold or subtle, our rainbow jewellery offers the flexibility to confidently express your style.

The Rise of Rainbow Jewellery in the Luxury Market

Rainbow jewellery has evolved from a niche offering to a coveted accessory in the luxury market. This transition has been driven by a shift in consumer preferences toward more expressive and colourful pieces. High-end jewellery buyers are increasingly drawn to the playfulness and uniqueness of these multicoloured gems, which provide a refreshing alternative to traditional monochromatic designs.

But what is rainbow jewellery exactly? Simply put, it’s a piece that incorporates an array of gemstones, each representing a different colour of the rainbow. From deep reds of rubies to the soothing blues of sapphires, rainbow jewellery embraces the full spectrum, making it an expressive and personal choice for collectors. Varoujan Jewellers is known for masterfully creating pieces that blend these colours harmoniously, ensuring that each design is a true work of art.

Why Choose Rainbow Jewellery?

There’s something undeniably captivating about rainbow jewellery. It’s bold, vibrant, and allows for self-expression in a way that few other pieces can. At Designs by Varoujan, we believe every gemstone tells a story. When you wear a piece of rainbow jewellery, you’re not just wearing a beautiful accessory; you’re carrying a spectrum of stories, each with its own meaning and significance.

Let’s understand why rainbow jewellery should be a staple in every luxury collection:

Versatility in Style: Rainbow jewellery is incredibly versatile. Whether you’re dressing up for a gala or keeping it casual for a day out, these colourful pieces can complement any outfit. The mix of gemstones provides endless possibilities for pairing with different looks, offering a pop of colour when you need it most.

Symbolism and Meaning: Each gemstone in rainbow jewellery holds its own significance. For instance, sapphires represent wisdom, rubies signify passion, and emeralds denote renewal. When combined, these stones create a piece that is not only visually stunning but also rich in meaning. It’s this depth that makes rainbow jewellery a meaningful choice for special occasions, such as anniversaries or milestone achievements.

A Statement of Individuality: Wearing rainbow jewellery is a bold statement. It’s a reflection of your individuality, confidence, and willingness to stand out. At Designs by Varoujan, our bespoke rainbow pieces are tailored to match your personal style, allowing you to create a piece that’s truly one of a kind.

What Makes Rainbow Jewellery Perfect for Special Occasions?

Rainbow jewellery has become increasingly popular for significant events, especially weddings and anniversaries. Here’s why:

Bridal Accessories with a Twist: Brides looking to incorporate colour into their big day are increasingly opting for rainbow jewellery. Whether it’s a necklace or earrings, these pieces add a splash of vibrancy to the traditional bridal ensemble, symbolising joy, hope, and the beginning of a new life chapter.

Anniversary Gifts: A rainbow of gemstones symbolises a range of emotions, making it the perfect anniversary gift. It celebrates the various stages of a relationship, from the fiery passion of a ruby to the enduring love of a diamond.

Birthday Milestones: What better way to mark a significant birthday than with a piece that encapsulates the full spectrum of life? Rainbow jewellery makes for a unique gift that will be cherished for years to come.

How to Care for Rainbow Jewellery

Maintaining the brilliance of your rainbow jewellery requires proper care. Here are a few tips to ensure your piece stays as stunning as the day you received it:

Regular Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to gently clean the stones and remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated over time. For a deeper clean, a mild soap and warm water solution can help restore the shine of your gemstones.

Safe Storage: Keep your rainbow jewellery in a soft-lined jewellery box to prevent scratches. It’s best to store pieces individually, so the stones don’t come into contact with each other.

Professional Check-ups: Over time, gemstones can become loose. Periodic check-ups by a professional jeweller can help ensure that all stones remain securely set, and any necessary repairs are made promptly.

The Timeless Appeal of Rainbow Jewellery in Modern Fashion

Rainbow jewellery never goes out of style. While trends come and go, the vibrant colours of rainbow jewellery have always had a special place in fashion. Whether it’s a bright statement necklace or a delicate, colourful bracelet, these pieces add life to any outfit.

Did you know that only 1 in every 10,000 diamonds has a natural colour? That’s how rare they are. Fancy-coloured diamonds aren’t just beautiful; they’re special, and owning one is something most people can only dream about. While many stick to the classic white diamond, those in the know are turning to these colourful gems, not just for their beauty but because they can also be a smart investment. At Varoujan Jewellers, we’re experts in these amazing diamonds and can help you find one that’s truly unique. Ready to see what makes fancy-coloured diamonds the ultimate in luxury?

What Are Fancy Coloured Diamonds?

Fancy-coloured diamonds are naturally occurring diamonds with a noticeable colour, ranging from yellow, pink, blue, and green to even rarer shades like red and purple. While all diamonds are formed under intense pressure and heat deep within the Earth, what makes fancy-coloured diamonds special is the presence of trace elements and structural irregularities during their formation. These factors result in the brilliant colours we see today.

Unlike white diamonds, whose value is primarily based on clarity and carat weight, the colour in fancy diamonds is the most significant factor in determining their price. The stronger and bright the colour, the more valuable the stone. At Varoujan Jewellers, we offer a selection of the finest fancy-coloured diamonds sourced from trusted suppliers who adhere to the highest ethical standards.

Why Are Fancy Coloured Diamonds So Rare?

The rarity of fancy-coloured diamonds is due to their unique geological formation. For example, a blue diamond gains its colour from the existence of boron, while a yellow diamond owes its hue to nitrogen. These elements must be present in just the right amounts during the diamond’s crystallisation process, making coloured diamonds exceptionally rare. In fact, only one in every 10,000 diamonds is considered a fancy-coloured diamond. This rarity enhances their appeal as a luxury item and a smart investment.

How Are Fancy Coloured Diamonds Graded?

Just like white diamonds, fancy-coloured diamonds are graded based on the 4Cs: cut, clarity, carat, and colour. However, colour grading is a more complex process for coloured diamonds. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) employs a specialised scale that assesses hue, tone, and saturation to evaluate the intensity of a diamond’s colour. This grading scale spans from “Faint” to “Fancy Vivid,” where “Fancy Vivid” represents the highest level of intensity and value.

At Varoujan Jewellers, our master designers can guide you in selecting a fancy-coloured diamond that not only meets your aesthetic desires but also holds significant value for future investment. Our bespoke service allows you to create a one-of-a-kind piece, ensuring that your jewellery is as unique as the diamond itself.

Popular Fancy Coloured Diamond Shades

Here are some sought-after fancy-coloured diamond hues:

How Are Fancy Coloured Diamonds Used in Jewellery?

Fancy-coloured diamond is prized for its beauty and versatility in jewellery design. Whether set as the centrepiece of an engagement ring, a pair of stunning earrings, or a show-stopping necklace, coloured diamonds can add a burst of vibrancy and character to any piece. At Varoujan Jewellers, we offer bespoke services that allow you to incorporate these rare gems into a custom design, making your jewellery truly one-of-a-kind.

For instance, a bride seeking a unique engagement ring might opt for a pink diamond surrounded by white diamonds to create a striking contrast. Alternatively, a collector may prefer a set of coloured diamond earrings, combining yellow and blue diamonds for a look that is both elegant and rare. Our expert jewellers can work closely with you to craft the perfect piece, ensuring that the coloured diamonds are showcased to their full potential.

Are Fancy Coloured Diamonds a Good Investment?

The increasing rarity of fancy-coloured diamonds, particularly in shades like pink and blue, makes them a solid investment for those looking to diversify their portfolios with tangible assets. Over the past decade, the value of fancy-coloured diamonds has risen steadily, and as mines that produce these gems, such as the Argyle Mine, continue to close, demand is expected to outpace supply.

Investors often turn to fancy coloured diamonds not only for its beauty but also for their potential to appreciate in value over time. When purchasing a fancy-coloured diamond, it’s essential to work with a trusted jeweller who can provide certified stones with proper provenance. At Varoujan Jewellers, we guarantee the authenticity and quality of every diamond we sell, giving you peace of mind when making your investment.

Jewellery has long been an expression of personal style and a marker of special moments in our lives. One of the most important decisions when choosing a piece is whether to go for handmade or cast jewellery. Each method has its own unique characteristics, advantages, and considerations. At Varoujan Jewellers, we understand the significance of this choice and are committed to helping you make an informed decision. In this article, we’ll delve into the differences between handmade and cast jewellery to help you choose the perfect piece.

What is Handmade Jewellery?

Handmade jewellery is crafted manually by skilled artisans. Every piece is meticulously designed and assembled, often involving techniques that have been passed down through generations. Here are some key aspects of handmade jewellery:

Techniques and Craftsmanship

Handmade jewellery is a labour of love, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Here are some jewellery design techniques by the skilled artisans at Varoujan Jewellers:

Forging: This involves heating and hammering metal to create strong, unique pieces. Forging results in durable jewellery with an organic, one-of-a-kind feel.

Soldering: This technique joins pieces of metal using molten solder, allowing for intricate designs and settings.

Filigree: Creating delicate patterns with thin metal threads, adding an ethereal beauty to the jewellery

Customisation

Handmade jewellery allows for high levels of customisation. Varoujan Jewellers collaborate closely with clients to create custom jewellery that reflects personal style and sentiment. Each piece is unique, carrying the artisan’s touch and the client’s vision. Customisation options include:

Personalised Designs: Clients can work with artisans to create designs that incorporate personal symbols, initials, or motifs.

Custom Fit: Handmade pieces can be tailored to fit the wearer perfectly, ensuring comfort and style.

Exclusive Collections: Unique, one-of-a-kind pieces are created offering endless jewellery design possibilities, making them ideal for special occasions.

Quality and Detail

Since each piece is made individually, artisans can focus on the finer details, resulting in superior quality and finish. This meticulous process involves:

Detailed Craftsmanship: Artisans can devote time to perfecting every aspect of the piece, from the setting of stones to the finishing touches.


Enhanced Durability: The hands-on approach allows for stronger, more durable jewellery, as artisans can reinforce weak points and ensure structural integrity.

Unique Character: Each handmade piece carries subtle variations and imperfections that add to its charm and individuality.

Materials

Handmade jewellery often uses higher-quality materials. Artisans select each component, ensuring that only the best materials are used. This jewellery customisation process includes:

Precious Metals: Artisans choose high-purity gold, platinum, and silver for their superior properties and lasting beauty.

Gemstones: Only high-quality, ethically sourced gemstones are used, enhancing the piece’s overall value and appearance.

Sustainable Practices: Varoujan Jewellers prioritise sustainable jewellery practices such as sustainable sourcing of materials, ensuring ethical practices and environmental responsibility.

What is Cast Jewellery?

On the other hand, cast jewellery is made by pouring molten metal into a mould. This process allows for the mass production of jewellery pieces. Key aspects of cast jewellery include:

Efficiency and Consistency

Casting allows for the production of multiple identical pieces, making it ideal for creating jewellery in bulk.  This process involves:

Model Creation: Designers create a detailed model of the piece, which is then used to make a mould. This model can be produced using CAD software or traditional handcrafting techniques.

Mould Making: The model is encased in a mould material (like rubber or plaster) to create a negative impression. This mould can be reused to produce multiple identical pieces.

Casting: Molten metal is poured into the mould, filling every detail and hardening into the final shape. This step ensures that each piece is a precise replica of the original model.

Cost-Effectiveness

Cast jewellery is generally more affordable than handmade jewellery due to the efficiency of the casting process. Benefits include:

Lower Labor Costs: The ability to produce multiple pieces from a single mould reduces the amount of manual labour required.

Material Efficiency: Casting minimises waste, as excess metal can be melted down and reused.

Economies of Scale: Bulk production lowers the overall cost per piece, making cast jewellery more accessible to a wider audience.

Design Possibilities

Advances in casting technology have expanded the design possibilities, allowing for intricate and complex designs that were once difficult to achieve. Innovations include:

Precision Casting: Modern techniques allow for incredibly detailed designs, capturing fine textures and intricate patterns.

Complex Geometries: Casting enables the creation of complex shapes and structures that would be challenging to achieve by hand.

Versatility: The ability to cast in various metals and alloys offers a wide range of aesthetic options, from classic gold and silver to contemporary titanium and palladium.

Your Guide to Excellence: Factors to Consider for the Perfect Choice

Now that you understand the core differences between handmade and cast jewellery, here are some additional factors to consider when making your selection:

The Occasion: Is this a statement piece for a special event or a delicate everyday treasure? A handcrafted solitaire engagement ring from Varoujan Jewellers can hold a unique sentimental value, while intricate cast earrings might be perfect for adding a touch of everyday elegance.

Your Personal Style: Do you prefer bold, organic shapes or a more classic, refined aesthetic? Handmade jewellery often possesses a distinct character reflecting the artist’s vision, while cast pieces can offer a wider range of design possibilities.

Sustainability: Varoujan Jewellers is committed to ethical practices. We can advise on the environmental impact of sourcing and working with various materials used in both handmade and cast jewellery.

Are you tying the knot with your soul mate? Do you love how he cares about you and makes you feel special? Are you looking for the perfect wedding band for him that will reciprocate your feelings? Consider shopping for a diamond wedding band. Men’s diamond wedding bands have gained massive popularity over the years because of their jaw-dropping charisma and timeless appeal. In fact, the trend for men’s unique wedding bands is not a fad; it is here to stay. 

Indeed, diamond jewellery is unisex and looks amazing on everyone. So, if your groom has awesome taste in watches, he’d truly love a diamond wedding band. That being said, you can delight him even more if you find the perfect band for him that matches his style and personality. Read this guide to learn more about men’s diamond wedding bands. We have everything covered. Let’s make your search for the perfect band seamless. 

Men’s Diamond Accented Wedding Bands- Factors To Consider When Shopping For The Perfect Band For Him

Here are the top factors to consider:

Set Your Budget 

First, determine your budget. This is important because there is an endless variety to select from. If you don’t set your budget from the start, you might get carried away and spend more. 

Keep His Style and Preference In Mind 

This is possibly the key to finding the perfect band for your soul mate. You must consider what he is into, like does he prefer simpler things or chunky jewellery that makes a style statement? This will help you narrow down options and find the perfect wedding band that he can rock confidently and comfortably and wear daily.  

To begin with, there are numerous styles available in men’s diamond wedding bands, such as:

• Single diamond tension set 

• Princess or baguette-cut diamonds flush set 

• Lateral channel setting 

• Flush set within channel 

• Geometric line work and more. 

So, think about his preferences and style to opt for the band he’ll cherish forever. 

Understand Diamond Quality

The diamond quality is assessed based on the Four Cs: Carat, Cut, Colour, and Clarity.

This measures the weight of the diamond. Diamonds in men’s wedding bands are typically smaller than those in engagement rings, often under one carat. Smaller diamonds can be used in multiple settings or as accent stones.

The cut determines the diamond’s brilliance and sparkle. The most common cuts for men’s wedding bands are round, princess, and baguette. A well-cut diamond beautifully reflects light, making it more attractive.

A scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown) is used to grade diamonds. Colourless diamonds (D-F) are rare and more expensive. Near-colourless diamonds (G-J) are popular for men’s bands, balancing quality and affordability.

This refers to the presence of imperfections on the internal or external surface of the diamond. For wedding bands, diamonds with slight inclusions (SI1-SI2) are often chosen as they offer good value, and their imperfections are usually not visible to the naked eye.

The equilibrium of all these four elements depends on individual preference and budget. You do not necessarily need a chunky diamond to make a statement. Sometimes, a modest, high-quality diamond can turn heads because of its beauty, cut, clarity, and sparkle.  

Select The Right Metal 

Another factor to consider is the band’s metal. It enhances its overall look and durability. Some of the best options include:

Gold

It is available in white, yellow, and rose varieties. 18k gold, which is 75% pure, is preferred for its balance of purity and durability. White gold is typically rhodium-plated to enhance its shine and improve its durability, providing a bright, reflective finish that resists scratches and tarnishing.

Platinum 

Platinum is celebrated for its superior durability and hypoallergenic nature, making it a top-tier choice for wedding bands. This metal is heavier and costlier than gold, providing a sense of luxury and prestige. Its natural, enduring white sheen does not tarnish, ensuring a timeless, elegant appearance that requires no additional plating or maintenance.

Titanium

Titanium is a modern choice for men’s wedding bands, prized for its unique combination of lightweight comfort and exceptional durability. Its hypoallergenic properties makes titanium an excellent option for men with sensitive skin, as it is less likely to trigger allergic reactions than other metals. Titanium’s sleek, contemporary look appeals to those seeking a minimalist yet stylish design. 

Tungsten

Tungsten stands out for its extreme durability plus scratch resistance. This makes it a perfect choice for those with active lifestyles or professions that expose their hands to rigorous activities. The metal’s hardness maintains its polished finish and resists wear over time. Nonetheless, tungsten is brittle and can crack or shatter under sharp impacts. 

Diamond Wedding Bands For Him- FAQs 

Should men wear diamond bands? 

Definitely! It’s becoming increasingly popular among Australian men to wear wedding bands, especially diamond bands. Diamonds predominantly represent endurance, strength, love, and permanence. They also provide excellent strength and hardness- all striking characteristics of men’s jewellery. 

Are men’s wedding bands durable?

Yes, the durability of men’s diamond wedding bands largely depends on the choice of metal and the setting. Metals like platinum and tungsten are known for their high durability. Settings such as bezel and channel provide extra protection for the diamonds. Regular maintenance and avoiding harsh activities can further extend the lifespan of the ring.

How do I keep a diamond wedding band well-maintained?

Please note that proper care plus maintenance are crucial for keeping the diamond wedding band in excellent condition. Clean the ring regularly with warm and soapy water. Use a soft brush, and avoid using harsh chemicals. Schedule periodic check-ups with your jeweller to ensure the diamonds are secure and the metal remains in good condition.

What trends are popular in men’s diamond wedding bands?

Current trends in men’s diamond wedding bands include:

Can I get my wedding band customised? 

Yes, you can customise your man’s wedding band to reflect personal preferences and style. Many jewellers offer customisation services, allowing you to create a uniquely tailored band. Customisation options typically include choosing the type and arrangement of diamonds, selecting different metals or finishes, and adding engravings such as initials, dates, or personal messages inside the band.

When opting for customisation, discussing your ideas with a reputed jeweller who specialises in custom designs is important. They can provide quality guidance on materials and design feasibility and ensure the final piece meets your expectations. 

Customising a wedding band adds sentimental value and allows you to create a symbol of commitment that is both meaningful and distinctively yours. Whether you prefer a traditional design with a personal touch or a unique creation, customisation offers the opportunity to celebrate your love with a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery.This is where we can help.

Confused about diamond grading certificates and what all the paperwork means?

Shopping for a diamond requires a lot of research in order to understand what you will get for your money. Many factors affect the price of a diamond and one of those factors is the type of diamond certificate that accompanies the diamond.

Many clients ask us is there any difference between laboratory certificates. Sometimes it is confusing for a client to compare two diamonds of identical grades that have been graded by two different laboratories. They may not physically look the same even though they have the same technical grading on paper. One diamond will invariably cost more than the other. So why is this so? The reason is due to grading subjectivity and different grading systems.

Firstly, it is important to clarify what a certificate is, and to what purpose should it be used for.

A laboratory certification is made for the purpose of identifying a loose diamond and assigning a grading based on the classification of specific physical and optical properties.

A diamond certificate or report from a diamond laboratory is a scientific review of the diamond’s properties. Most certificates will cover the following:

Diamond Physical properties:

Different diamond laboratories use different methods to determine these gradings,.

Whilst the terminology is the same between laboratories, the standards of grading are different. Whilst most laboratories would agree on the weight and physical measurements of the diamonds, the more subjective grades of colour and clarity can vary.

It is common knowledge that EGL, IGI and HRD diamond laboratories are more generous in their grading than the GIA diamond laboratory – meaning that these labs have wider tolerances when grading the diamond.

It is our experience that there is a tendency to be one, two or even three grades different in colour grading between EGL and GIA’s colour grading system. There is also usually a difference in the clarity grading standards between laboratories. Other grading aspects like polish, symmetry and fluorescence can vary too, but (in most cases) it is the colour that impacts the most visible difference.

For example, a diamond that received a colour grading of E colour from an EGL, IGI or HRD might be graded as a G colour by GIA. As a result, GIA certified diamonds are widely considered more credible as the grading is quite strict and consistent. This gives the consumer added confidence that they are not buying an otherwise inflated grade of diamond.

However there is a benefit to choosing an EGL, IGI or HRD graded diamond and that is the lower price, when compared to that of an identically graded diamond from the GIA laboratory. This is seen as an advantage to those consumers who consider the ratings on a certificate to be a priority over the look of the diamond!

Diamond grading is a subjective skill, not a science. And optical beauty is very subjective and personal. This is why it is important to physically inspect the diamond, regardless of the certification.

And remember, when you buy a diamond, you should buy the diamond for its own beauty, not for its certificate!
