Diamonds

As long as romance is in the air, our jewelers have little need to worry about the diamond trade. If you are about to own one or already has one, perhaps it would be interesting for you to know a little about your gorgeous rocks.

Do you know that a man gives his fiancee a diamond ring (symbolising love and affection never-ending) to be worn on the third finger of her left hand because it was one believed that the Vena Amoris or vein of love ran directly form this finger to the heart?

SHAZAM! Such are the romantic tales that would cut straight to the sensibilities, such mythologies of gemstones, diamonds and other fascinating mineral rocks. Gemstones have been used for centuries for many different reasons, in many different reasons, in many different ways. But perhaps no tale is so touchign with its romantic point made through time immemorial as this one of the diamond sealing a betrothal upon a feminine ring finger.

Diamonds, those durable, dazzling gemstones are forever. Forever beautiful, forever rare, forever precious, forever a symbol of love and affection. The diamond, a fascinating miracle of nature, is the hardest material in the world, the most durable and the most desirable of all gemstones. Derived from Mother Nature's long and "magical" compression process, it is crystallized from the roughest of earthly materials,pure carbon. Born in ancient ages, diamonds and their mythologies live on dedicated to love, beauty and vanity.
