The Ashoka Diamond, the Greatness of History Transformed in the Present

The William Goldberg Diamond Corporation recently unveiled a new collection of diamonds to the world named after the ancient and beloved Indian leader, Ashoka the Great.  Ashoka converted to Buddhism during his reign and devoted himself to easing the suffering and misery of his people, turning away from war to embrace peace and serenity.  His name meant “without sorrow” and it is the serene, joyful beauty that lives as an icy fire within each Ashoka diamond that gives it this name.  Originally, crafted from southern Indian diamonds the name was almost pre-destined as these diamonds were serene, languid, and ethereal—what else could they be but Ashoka?

All Ashoka diamonds have been crafted to contain 62 rounded facets.  These multiple, carefully rounded facets give these diamonds a unique and other-worldly shimmer as light graces their surface.  Enthusiasts of the Ashoka cut enjoy their uniqueness, their ability to appear larger than their actual carat—a feat that could only be created by the artists at William Goldberg.

Recent celebrity sightings have made the Ashoka Diamond an in-demand property as the very nature of the ring (engagement, award show) displays the confidence in both the longevity of the relationship and in the William Goldberg Diamond Corporation.  The Ashoka Diamond collection is a collection of heirloom jewelry, living works of artistry and craftsmanship. 

The Ashoka Diamond collection contains: rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and cufflinks.  Both men and women can enjoy these one of a kind items.  An Ashoka Diamond from William Goldberg tells as much about the wearer as the maker.  People who purchase a jewel like this are unique individuals with a taste for the finer things in life, and who can distinguish between expense and quality.

The line of Ashoka Diamonds is the latest in a series of diamonds created at William Goldberg, and hopefully not the last.
