diamond

Tag details

Thought to be over 3 billion years old, diamonds have been a symbol of invincibility and undying love throughout history. Today over 70% of diamond production is for industrial or technological purposes and only 25-30% for gemstone use, otherwise known as loose diamonds.

Diamonds were discovered in 800 BC and were thought to possess mythical properties. The word diamond came from the Greek word “’adamas” meaning unconquerable. It was thought that the hardness and durability of the diamond made it a perfect symbol for the endless love pledged with the proposal of marriage. For this reason, diamond rings are extremely popular.

Diamonds USA hosts an informative blog on the characteristics, buying guide and shopper’s comparative elements. In addition to the standard elements of carats, clarity, cut, color and cost; the Diamonds blog looks at elements like feathering or tiny fractures within the stone as well as Facets, Clouds and Dispersion.
