Lots of things make rough diamonds special.... they are a unique piece of jewelry that stick out when worn because they are a fashion rarety in many respects. Rough diamonds aren't like polished diamonds, which you can see on the rings of every engaged woman in America. They almost serve a different purpose on people who wear them... to be unique.

Well first of all, rough diamonds are COLORFUL which you'll never find in a polished diamond. I think that's what makes them so fashionable. They also come in different shapes like polished diamonds. But the shapes of rough diamonds, unlike polished diamonds, are octahedral and dodecahedral.

I think what makes rough diamonds special is that few people know about them and so if you wear a rough diamond, you will be sure to draw attention. People will probably come up to you and ask you what kind of gemstone you're wearing, where you bought it, how much it cost, and where they can buy one as well. Don't be afraid to show off your rough diamond. Trust me, people will respond enthusiastically.
