The term Wesselton is used for color grading white diamonds.
My latest article discusses upscale watches. If you have read my earlier blogs you know that I once had a ill fated watch collection that bit the dust as soon as all the watches came due for batteries.
The watches mentioned in my upscale watch article are pave set with Wesselton diamonds. So what exactly is a Wesselton diamond? Wesselton was actually the name of a diamond mine that produced gorgeous white diamonds.
Today the tag 'Wesselton' is used for color grading diamonds. Wesselton refers to diamonds that are H white; Top Wesselton refers to colors F and G (sometimes F is refered to as Top Wesselton+).
Cutting diamonds is a precise art that is fascinating to view. If you are interested in this process and live near or plan on visiting Johannesburg, South Africa check out the Wessleton Diamond Cutting Company located on the 5th floor at 216 Fox St. Visitors to this factory can see the diamond-preparation process from cutting to shaping and polishing.
The TAG Heuer watch mentioned in my article is pretty pricey. As an alternative, check out the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 2000 for sale at Amazon for $1,700. This watch has a pink mother of pearl face and is constructed in stainless steel. Amazaon also has a few other Tag Heuer ladies watches available with prices ranging from $1,500 to $4,000.
