Diamonds carry stories older than the earth’s first breath, forged deep underground, formed under pressure, and brought to light as symbols of resilience and truth.
For centuries, they’ve been the chosen stone for promises. Yet beyond their sparkle lies something quieter: the reminder that strength can be both radiant and gentle.
In the Icons world, diamonds aren’t about perfection, they’re about endurance. The steady glow that remains, whatever life brings.
What Does a Diamond Symbolise Today?
Traditionally seen as the stone of eternal love, the diamond also represents clarity, courage, and truth. Its name comes from the Greek adamas, meaning unbreakable, and that same spirit endures in how we wear them today.
At Bianca Jones Jewellery, diamonds stand for honesty of heart: the ability to keep shining after difficulty, to choose constancy, and to hold light when things grow uncertain.

Can a Diamond Ring Be Worn Every Day?
Yes, diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth, which makes them ideal for everyday wear. They’re designed to be lived in: to move with you through workdays, milestones, and quiet nights.
What matters most isn’t how perfect they remain, but the marks they gather along the way, proof of a life fully lived.

Can a Diamond Ring Be Made in Yellow or White Gold?
Absolutely. Each Icon can be handcrafted in 9ct or 18ct gold, in your choice of warm yellow tones or cool white brightness. The metal you choose changes its mood: yellow gold adds softness and nostalgia; white gold reflects clean, contemporary light.
The diamond remains constant, a reminder that true brilliance adapts to its setting, but never fades.

Can a Diamond Ring Be Resized?
Most of our designs can be resized by a skilled jeweller. We’ll always guide you to the best approach for your chosen ring, whether a simple adjustment or a full remake to preserve the integrity of your setting. Because heirlooms should evolve with you, not stay frozen in time.
Can a Diamond Ring Get Scratched or Chip?
Diamonds are known for their strength, they score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, making them highly resistant to scratching. That said, even the hardest stone can chip if struck at the wrong angle. The same goes for your gold band.
Treat your ring with care: remove it when lifting heavy objects, avoid harsh chemicals, and clean it gently to maintain its natural brilliance.

Can You Wear a Diamond Ring in Water?
Occasional exposure to clean water is fine, but prolonged soaking or contact with chlorinated pools can dull the metal and loosen settings over time.
Think of water like life itself, something to move through, not to live submerged in.

Can a Diamond Ring Be Resold or Repurposed?
Yes. Diamonds hold both material and emotional value. Many of our clients choose to reset inherited stones into new Icons, keeping their history but rewriting the story.
Resale value depends on cut, clarity, and provenance, but meaning can’t be priced.
Which Finger Should You Wear a Diamond Ring On?
Traditionally, engagement rings are worn on the left ring finger, close to the vein of love.
But increasingly, diamonds are worn on the right hand, as a declaration of independence, self-worth, or to mark a new chapter. There’s no wrong way to wear light.

A diamond is a paradox: both unyielding and full of fire, ancient yet endlessly new.
It’s a symbol not of possession but of persistence, proof that beauty and strength can coexist. Wear yours not because it lasts forever, but because you do.
