| Just as each person is unique; as is every diamond. Therefore, your perfect diamond is as rare and individual as you are. The name Diamond derives from the Ancient Greek ‘adamas’ meaning ‘invincible’. The purest element in existence; Diamonds are renown for their rarity and captivating beauty. Throughout history, Diamonds have been cherished as gemstones and iconic symbols. Referred to as fragments of stars and even the tears of Gods in different cultures; Diamonds were believed to hold medicinal and magical properties, protecting their owners from illness and evil. The creation of Diamond is as unique as the final result. Formulated deep in the earth’s core, Diamonds are solely composed of Carbon. The crystallisation of Carbon occurs due to the extreme heat and force beneath the ground. Diamonds are then brought to the surface by a volcanic eruption; over three billion years after their initial formation. Diamonds are the hardest natural material known to man. Their longevity surpasses all other precious stones. It is due to their strength and eternal brilliance that enables diamond jewellery to be worn day after day, generation after generation. When purchasing your Diamond it is imperative to consider the 4c’s – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat.
