Diamonds

DiamondThe world's ultimate symbol of love is of course the diamond. With its rarity and natural beauty you can see why. Diamonds were formed billions of years ago under extreme pressure and heat hundreds of miles below sea level. After a volcanic eruption and magna cooled, it became solid in blue ground. This ground also referred to as Kimberlite is where rough diamonds are still found today. It takes more than 200 tons of ore to make one single carat diamond.

Diamonds are the hardest substance found on Earth. Even so they will scratch another diamond if put together. Always store your jewelry separately. There are 7 common diamond shapes. They include round, marquise, emerald, princess, pear, oval, and heart shaped. Diamonds is a gemstone every girl would love to have hence the term; "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." They are popular for engagement rings and for any type of jewelry you may desire. The 75th wedding anniversary is the diamond anniversary. This is an everlasting commitment for never-ending love. This gemstone was believed by Romans and Greeks to be more than just a beautiful sight. They thought diamonds to be splinters from falling stars and tears from the gods. Some people actually believe diamonds can heighten your sexuality and attract others. These precious stones are also thought to bring luck and success.

Diamonds should be removed during heavy work. They are vulnerable to chipping if hit the right way. To clean your gemstone, using a professional would certainly be an option. You can also use a milk liquid detergent. Add this mixture together with warm water. With a brush you can clean your diamond to your liking. Jewelry cleaners and household ammonia will also do the trick. One, not so traditional way, is to use vodka on the rocks. Just drop your piece of jewelry in a glass of vodka. Finish it off with a nice cloth to dry and it is shiny as new. Whatever the reason you buy a diamond, one thing is for sure, it is worth the price.
