Who Else Wants Diamond Jewelry?

By Don Pedro

Not all diamonds are jewel material. There are sometimes some structural imperfections in some of the stones that greatly hamper their value. Most professionals refer to these qualities as dislocations. Knowing the stone has any of these, you might not be in a hurry to buy it, unless it is all you can afford.

Diamonds are unique, to say the least. Which makes them perfectly befitting for jewels. You couldn't find any other substance more beautiful and alluring, hard and flawless, unique and and perfect. Diamonds just do it the way no other substance can. So you know they will be expensive, don't you? Buying diamond jewelry for a loved one is a sure sign of how much you love and value that special someone.

There is no way you are using a diamond in a jewel in its rough form; you'd look more mad than majestic. You need to run the stone through a couple of cutting processes that will bring out the sparkle in it. By the time you are done, you want a precious stone that will do you proud and fatten your bank account.

It is not easy, looking at any diamond, to imagine them as being typically billions of years old. But that exactly is what they are. They have been buried in the earth forever, but now they are free, more beautiful than you could imagine. Picture one against the warmth of your flesh; now don't you just feel like royalty?

Diamonds are mined from areas where there hasn't been any activity for billions of years. Only there can you hope to find it after the length of time it has taken to form. That is partly why the jewel made from it is the only one that costs as much as it does all over the world.

When you see a person wear a diamond, the person is always so beautiful. Yet, it is not the person that is so; it is the diamond that they wear. That is the thing about diamonds; you might not be so beautiful yourself, but the diamond beautifies you. How awesome!

Silver can be melted down, gold can be diluted, but diamond diamond is forever. No matter how much you have to pay to have it, you know it is worth every penny and it will never blemish. Twenty - no, a hundred years to come, the diamond will retain its brilliance.

The stones that made the mountains were not always solid. At one time, they were molten, known as magma, made so by the extreme pressures and heat in the earth's heart; the same pressures and heat that formed diamonds over eons of processing. So when the magma came up, so did the diamonds with it. Today, we mine them and wear them, and we bask in the glory of the diamond jewelry.

There are all kinds of diamonds. You've got white, black, red, pink and blue. Black diamonds are called carbonados. Most people don't believe they come from earth, although how they got here then beats me.
