THEN, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

The Allure Of Diamonds

Cultures around the world have been magnetically attracted to the glittering allure of the diamond for centuries. Virtually indestructible and ranking a top ten on the Mohs hardness scale, nothing can cut a diamond but another diamond. Long revered as a talisman to fend off fear, negative influences, and the evil eye, the diamond is also believed to strengthen the bearer’s vital energies. The diamond derives its name from the Latin diamas, the unconquerable, which both explains and reflects the stone’s paramount position throughout time as the preeminent icon of eternal love. Still, the favorite choice for the stone to mark a betrothal, diamonds continue to be a girl’s best friend when it comes to the standard jewel box favorites of bracelets, bangles, stud earrings, and necklaces. As culture increasingly shifts towards the casual, diamonds are gracing highly individual and extremely versatile jewelry pieces with their presence that still retains all this gemstone’s timeless quality.
