DON'T BREAK BANK



A lot of people assume the cost of diamonds to be extremely pricey, but it’s not always the case. It depends on the 4C’s of the jewelry in question. Below are some pieces of diamond jewelry, all retail between the $250 -$350. All set in sterling silver, and have a total weight in the range of 1/10 CT – ½ CT. 



P.S: None of the diamonds below are treated diamonds, which even gives them more value. (Would write a piece on treated diamonds later).

At Zoya’s Jewels our dream is to bring your jewelry fantasies to life.

All Things Bright and Beautiful


No! Not the hymn, Diamonds or "Blings" as some like to call them.

The month of April is well known for 2 things; the birth of a special person, myself *winks* and Diamonds! Diamond is the birthstone of the month of April.

Diamonds aka unbreakable in Greek, is one of the most familiar gemstone appreciated by people all over the globe today. Aside from its “fire”, “brilliance” and “scintillation” (sparkle), diamonds are one of the hardest gemstones known to man yet.

Unknown to a lot of people, diamonds come in different variations, basically the 4C’s – Color (clear, yellow, pink, blue, etc), Cut (round, princess, pear, etc), Clarity (SI, VS, VVS etc) and Carat (in terms of weight), and different variations means different prices ranging from as low as $200 and as high as “priceless”.

At Zoya's Jewels, part of what we do is find you that unique piece of jewelry that currently suits your needs, and yes, that jewelry can include diamonds and any other jewelry you desire.
