Jewels are beautiful, but they are never the real thing unless they are made of diamonds. Diamonds are tiny little pieces of heaven. Even if you aren’t in the skies, holding one in your hands could give you a feeling like you are. It calls out to you so that you never want to let it go. Well, that’s why so many people pay so much for it. Plus, it doesn’t break easily at all. What a gem!

Many insist that a diamond is the best forms of jewelry one can think of. It is hard, it shines, and it does not destroy easily. Why else do you think it sells so well as a precious stone? Hardly any array of jewelry is complete without them. Any wonder why your wife keeps insisting on you buying her that lovely diamond jewelry?

Since the time it was discovered, the beauty of diamonds has been such that only the best of men could own it. They were originally only owned by lords or kings, nobles or men of wealth. It is like the purity of the piece calls for the purest of men, and indeed they respond. They did so then, as well they do now.

The temperature required to form diamond ranges anywhere from 1000 to 1200°C. The amount of pressure you need is also formidable. No wonder the stones are so flawless when they come. No wonder people even kill themselves to own a single stone.

Diamonds are mined from areas where there hasn’t been any activity for billions of years. Only there can you hope to find it after the length of time it has taken to form. That is partly why the jewel made from it is the only one that costs as much as it does all over the world.

Cratons epitomize in a sense the way diamond really are. There you find the gems in their ‘natural’ habitat, but we don’t believe they belong there, no. they belong on the bodices of royalty. And so we extract them and move them there.

The volcanic rocks, amongst which we find diamonds in their raw form, are much younger than the diamonds themselves. But as they journey forcefully upward, being expelled by the earth, they bring with them these priceless gifts from the bowels – diamonds. So are born the greatest jewels in the world.

Scientists study the diamond and have determined that some pieces are as old as 3 billion years! When you hold such a gem in your hands; the elevation when you wear it on your person. Worth any amount you are asked to pay for it.
