Even if you haven’t seen diamond before, you have certainly heard of it. That shiny thing that looks like the heavens on your fingers, or dangling from your neck. Think how it would feel to own one, have it belong to you forever. Well, that is how some people feel about it that causes them to cling to it so much and so desperately.

Jewels are beautiful, but they are never the real thing unless they are made of diamonds. Earth’s most unique substance will look good on any finger, and make it’s wearer an instant celebrity. That’s why we all want it.

Diamonds have a long history of surviving - a very long history. Even the story of their formation is one that awes you. Eons in the depths, coagulated by centuries of pressure and decomposition. Made perfect in imperfection. And now, you could make a jewel out of one, and know that it will never fail you.

I love the song ‘Diamonds are forever,’ it tells you just how a girl feels about diamonds. Somewhere in there she says the diamond doesn’t hurt you the way a man can because you know it isn’t ever going to change. Well, now you know why your girl will love you more if you got her a diamond jewelry. You are telling her your love is that true.

In the earth, diamonds stand out with elegance. In jewel form, they stand out on the necks and fingers of the elite of society. Only the really rich can afford to purchase one in that form - the rich and the elites.

Conditions that are ideal for diamond formation cannot be reenacted by humans. Much as they have tried, they have always failed. And so the diamond retains its uniqueness in brilliance and beauty. Little wonder it is so expensive as a jewel.

There are a number of places you could find diamonds. There are cratons, there are volcanic rocks, and they are waterbeds of streams that flow from volcanic sources. In some instances you find them also in sandstones and conglomerates. Whatever it takes, as long as you can lay your hands on earth’s most priced precious stone.

Diamond jewelry possesses a brilliance that arises from its index of refraction. This is determined by the angle at which light is bent as it crosses the boundary between the air and the stone upon entry and upon exit. The higher this value, the higher the brilliance of the mineral, and thus, the more it will cost you, if you desire to own it.

There are some sedimentary rocks that have solidified presumably from former alluvial deposits. In them, you could find deposits of the hardest mineral in the world - diamond. Otherwise, you want to be looking in volcanic rocks, or cratons in various regions of the world.

Pure diamond has a density that is close to 3.52 g/cm3, which is much denser than other crystals that are composed of elements of similar weight to carbon. This is so because carbon atoms in diamond are packed tightly together, more so than all the others. So you know that it does weigh something, when it comes that hard packed!
