The Diamond Makes A Sparkling Gift

Most people around the world are in agreement in at least one area. They consider diamonds to be one of the true wonders of nature, and are a sparkling gift to mankind to enjoy, revel in and treasure. The diamond is not only stunningly beautiful, it is also the hardest material known to man, both in terms of natural substances and also in the category of man-made substances.

Part of what makes diamonds so attractive and engaging to the eye is the way that they catch the light with bright flashes of color and sparkle, and even an illusion of limitless depth. The diamond is set apart from other gems because of the qualities that it embodies and its association with wealth, stature and strength.

It is estimated that about 80 percent of all diamonds brought out of the mines are not of high enough quality to be shaped, polished and set into jewelry pieces. The diamond that makes its way through the inspection, cutting, polishing and reinspection process will have undergone many steps and phases before it becomes part of a piece of fine diamond jewelry.
