General Gemstone Details

The diamond is not only the hardest gemstone, it is in fact the hardest mineral on Earth. That combined with it's brilliant fire, and exceptional lust has made the diamond one of the most prized gemstones in the world.
Pure, colorless diamonds are the most popular, but fancy colored diamonds are quickly becoming quite popular themselves! From yellow and brown to green, blue, pink, red, gray and black, can all be found depending on the impurities present.

Fancy colored diamonds are not a mass-market product that are advertised everywhere and sold in large numbers. They have much more personality than that. Fancy colored diamonds are almost as much fun as colored gemstones! Like colored gemstones, each one is different.

Mystical Properties:

In ancient times, diamonds were worn as tumbled stones. They were treasured for their beauty as a gemstone. It was not until most recently after creating a facet was discovered that their dazzling personality truly appeared.

The Diamond is a stone that bonds relationships and enhances love-with the most recent symbol of the engagement ring. There is little to no history that it is a stone of love.

What the diamond does bring is longevity, particularly to relationships, balance, clarity and abundance. It can amplify one's thoughts, whether they be strengths, or weaknesses. It gives one who wears or carries it courage and hope.

A diamond encourages self-confidence and desire for independence while at the same time counteracting jealousy
