This March, a 14 year old\u00a0 named Kalel Langford, (yes it is pronounced Kal El like Superman&#8217;s\u00a0 Kryptonian name) discovered the 7.44 carat diamond just minutes into his search.\u00a0 And what a find it was since he had only been in the park for twenty minutes. Park officials said an increase in rainfall that week created ideal diamond searching conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Kalel named the diamond after Superman since the superheros birth name was Kal&#8217;El as well. The \u201cSuperman\u2019s Diamond\u201d is the 7<sup>th<\/sup> largest diamond found at this park since 1972, and is said to be about the size of a pinto bean with a dark brown, coffee color.

Since ancient times, diamonds symbolized invincibility for those born in April because of their hardness and durability.<\/p>\n<p>For the entire newsletter please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonjewelry.com\/newsletters\/apr2017.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Diamonds have been a symbol of love and devotion for decades.From engagement rings to diamond stud earrings, diamonds have always been a way to show that special someone in your life how much you mean to them.\u00a0 Diamonds are also a perfect stone for jewelry as it goes with everything. Diamonds are extremely durable as well, making it a fine piece of jewelry that can be passed down from generation to generation. Many times the setting will be the piece that needs to be replaced before the diamond. Not only do the styles change, gold and platinum are fairly soft metals and wear over time. The one thing you always want to make sure to do is make sure you have the prongs on your diamond check from time to time, especially on an engagement ring or any large, expensive solitaire diamond. While have a ring retipped isn&#8217;t cheap, it is much less expensive than replacing a large diamond. If you are ever in our store, stop by our repair department and have one of our jewelry specialists put your engagement ring on our tester and make sure your stone is secure. We offer this service free of charge even if you didn&#8217;t buy your diamond from us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow\u2026Forever Whether it\u2019s one, two, or three diamonds, it\u2019s all about scintillation, movement, romance, and a couple\u2019s journey.
