Diamonds are tiny little pieces of heaven. Even if you aren't in the skies, holding one in your hands could give you a feeling like you are. It calls out to you so that you never want to let it go.

There are jewels and then there are diamond jewels. Jewels are dear to most women, but no woman alive can boast of not wanting a diamond piece in her collection. It's more than just the rock hardness of the stone; it's the fact that it is so so beautiful. You can't just take your eye off of it.

You would have to travel up to 150 km (93 mi) into the bowels of the earth to experience the creation of a diamond. Hard as man has tried, they have not been able to duplicate that. And so diamond remains the hardest material on earth, and the most priceless of jewels.

Economically, there are diamond jewelries that cost more than it would take you to build a home for yourself. However, you still want it, so bad you would forfeit your house for it. And why not? The jewel is that beautiful, and more.

The diamond is so cold, so hard, and so durable. It does not break; it does not fail, even after hundreds of years. So it is a gem that is used to make jewels; jewels that are meant to last a lifetime.

Silver can be melted down, gold can be diluted, but diamond diamond is forever. No matter how much you have to pay to have it, you know it is worth every penny and it will never blemish. Twenty - no, a hundred years to come, the diamond will retain its brilliance.

The stones that made the mountains were not always solid. At one time, they were molten, known as magma, made so by the extreme pressures and heat in the earth's heart; the same pressures and heat that formed diamonds over eons of processing. So when the magma came up, so did the diamonds with it. Today, we mine them and wear them, and we bask in the glory of the diamond jewelry.

The ages of some diamonds can be as much as 2 or 3 billion years. It is possible to tell this by dating some mineral impurities that could have been trapped within the diamonds as they are brought to the surface of the earth. But who thinks these things when they wear the stones on their fingers? Who can? You are so caught up in its beauty! - 16083
