Diamond Science

Hardest natural substance in the world

Diamond, composed of carbon, is the hardest natural substance in the world. Each carbon atom is surrounded by four neighboring carbon atoms in a tetrahedral coordination that is the result of a covalent bond and a face-centered arrangement in the cubic unit cell. Diamond may be up to 3 billion years old, which is much older than their surface host rock. Diamond crystallization originates some 200 kilometers, or 320 miles, beneath the surface and the disaggregated crystals are merely transported to the surface via kimberlite and lamproite pipes.

Diamond has been referred to as the essence of purity and invincibility, and a symbol of royalty.

Know Your Diamonds

Always ask for the exact carat weight, and the price per carat, so that you can easily and accurately compare diamonds. Ask to see a copy of the GIA Grading Report for any diamond you are considering. Do not purchase from a jeweler who is unwilling or unable to show you the certificate for a diamond prior to purchase.
