Diamond in a blister

Four reasons why a diamond in a blister is a special gift

For every budget. You can choose a precious gift with powerful symbolism in accordance with the budget you have planned, with a starting price in our collection of 10,000 RSD. This is by far the most accessible entry into the world of certified natural diamonds in our entire range.

Trade-in for a larger stone. This is a popular option that makes a diamond in a blister unique compared to all other pieces of diamond jewellery. You can later exchange a diamond previously bought from us for a larger stone, paying only the difference in value. Grandparents, godparents and parents often use this option as a way to gradually increase the value of a gift for children as they grow.

Includes a certificate. Every diamond in a blister purchased at Zlatara Andrejević comes with its own certificate clearly displaying all its characteristics and origin. Thanks to the clearly stated characteristics and accompanying documentation, a diamond in a blister represents a precious gift whose quality can be reliably established.

Can also become part of jewellery. The diamond can later be set by us into a new or existing piece of jewellery, an engagement ring, pendant, earrings, bracelet, or kept for decades in its original, safe packaging as a precious keepsake and family heirloom.

Our collection: diamonds for different wishes and budgets

Our collection of diamonds in a blister comprises over 25 diamonds of various characteristics with carat weights from 0.02 to over 0.14 ct, with prices from 10,000 RSD for the most affordable models to over 56,000 RSD for diamonds of larger carat weight. All diamonds up to 0.20 ct in our offer have an exceptionally high clarity grade of VVS1 and an Excellent cut grade, which is why they appear more striking than the carat weight itself suggests.

For larger stones with specific 4Cs requirements, including natural diamonds selected for long-term value preservation, our team can find a diamond that meets your expectations; contact us before purchasing.

For a comprehensive overview of everything worth knowing about diamond quality, visit our educational diamond guide and the article The 4Cs of diamonds, a guide to diamond quality where we explain how cut, colour, clarity and carat weight are graded.

Every diamond has its own serial number

During certification and packaging, each diamond is assigned a unique serial number linking it to its accompanying documentation. A hologram sticker with the Zlatara Andrejević logo on the blister pack confirms its authenticity, while the special packaging protects the stone. Regardless of the carat weight of the diamond you buy, every piece has a serial number and certificate, and our expert gemmologists guarantee its quality.

We explain more about the meaning of and differences between certificates from recognised gemmological laboratories (GIA, IGI, HRD) in the article “Diamond Certificate, GIA, IGI or HRD”.

High-quality and attractive packaging

Every diamond in a blister is carefully packaged in a highly luxurious box featuring the Zlatara Andrejević emblem. The box consists of two parts, i.e. it has a sleeve, so there is no concern about it being damaged upon opening. Such exclusive packaging further enhances the effect that this gift has in itself. The buyer chooses one of the available colours, and the understated tones are suitable for all occasions, from birthdays to weddings.

Personalisation is part of the gift. At your request, the box can be further personalised: when opened, the lid has space for a plaque on which a special message intended for the recipient can be engraved completely free of charge. By choosing one of the many available dedication plaques, you can symbolically offer your best wishes alongside the diamond.

A diamond in a blister as lasting value and a family heirloom

The phrase "Diamonds are forever" is based on their exceptional durability and symbolism. A diamond is the hardest natural mineral, it does not fade and, with proper care, retains its physical properties. That is precisely why it can be a precious gift that is kept and passed down from generation to generation.

Modern processing and precision-cutting techniques make it possible to highlight a diamond's natural characteristics and its ability to reflect light. That is why even diamonds of smaller carat weight can possess a pronounced brilliance. A diamond in a blister is a gift that does not lose its physical properties and which, with proper care, can be preserved for future generations.

Investment diamonds: can diamonds be a way of preserving value?

The term investment diamonds is most commonly used for natural diamonds that, in addition to their beauty and symbolism, are purchased with the idea of long-term preservation of value. However, not every natural diamond is an investment diamond, nor can its future market value be guaranteed in advance.

The value of a diamond is influenced by a combination of its characteristics, carat weight, colour, clarity and cut quality, namely the renowned 4Cs criteria, as well as the rarity of the specific stone, certification, origin and market conditions. For this reason, for a diamond chosen with the goal of long-term preservation of value, it is particularly important that its characteristics are clearly documented.

Zlatara Andrejević diamonds in a blister are certified natural diamonds and offer the opportunity to own an individual diamond that you can keep in its original packaging, later exchange for a larger stone or set into jewellery. This does not, however, mean that every diamond in a blister is an investment diamond. If you are considering buying a larger natural diamond with specific characteristics and long-term value, our GIA gemmologists can help you select a stone according to its 4Cs characteristics.

Zlatara Andrejević diamonds in a blister are exclusively natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds, which have recently appeared on the market as a more affordable alternative, are used by us only in the Luminore jewellery collection, engagement rings, wedding bands, pendants and earrings.

For couples considering an alternative option, Luminore lab-grown diamonds have identical optical and physical properties to natural diamonds, at a significantly more affordable price. We wrote more about the differences, advantages and when each choice makes sense in the article Natural or lab-grown diamond, what to choose. For a gift that marks an important occasion and can be cherished for generations, a natural diamond in a blister remains a classic choice.

Subsequent setting: from blister to jewellery

The uniqueness of a diamond in a blister lies precisely in the fact that it can later become any piece of jewellery. Many of our customers initially give a diamond in a blister as a gift, and a few years later return to have it set into a specific piece of jewellery, most commonly:

• Diamond engagement ring, the diamond from the blister can become the centre stone in a setting of your choice. A particularly popular option for couples where the diamond was received as a family gift (from parents or grandparents) and is later used for a proposal.
• Diamond pendant, the simplest and most affordable setting option. The diamond is placed in a setting with a bail and hangs on a chain as an individual piece of jewellery.
• Diamond earrings, two diamonds with matching characteristics can be paired and set into classic diamond stud earrings.
• Wedding bands with diamonds, the stone can be set as a discreet accent or a central detail, depending on its size and the chosen model.

This flexibility means that the buyer or the recipient of the diamond gift does not need to decide on the type of jewellery straight away; the stone can be stored and used when the right moment comes.

GIA expertise behind every diamond

Behind every diamond in a blister from our jewellery store stands over eighty years of family jeweller's craft and GIA gemmological expertise of three Andrejević family members. Kosta Andrejević, holder of a GIA Diamonds Diploma, established the quality control standards by which our jewellery store selects certified natural diamonds. Aleksandar Andrejević, GIA Graduate Gemologist with sixteen years of experience, oversees the selection of stones according to the 4Cs criteria, with a focus on consistency of quality across the entire collection. Andreja Andrejević, certified gemmologist, dedicates attention to the packaging and certification process of each stone, as that is precisely part of the gift received by the end client.

All three experts guarantee that every diamond in a blister purchased at our jewellery store corresponds to its description and certificate, without compromise.
