The Diamond has been one of the most coveted gems in history. Uncut diamonds adorned the suits of armor of the great knights; cut diamonds have adorned the crowns of kings and queens throughout the ages. Today Diamond is internationally recognized as a symbol of love and betrothal and is the recipient of increasing interest as a means of investment.
What is a Diamond?
Diamond is the crystallized form of carbon. Carbon crystallises in a cubinc system which is the strongest and most symmetrical known on Earth, and is born hundreds of miles below the Earth's surface. Diamonds were formed more than 70 million years ago when diamond-bearing ore was brought to the surface through volcanic eruption. After the magma cooled, it solidified into blue ground, or kimberlite, where the precious rough is found today.
