Diamonds

Diamonds are one of the most coveted diamonds on the planet. Since the olden days, mankind has been enchanted by this gem's unique beauty and infinite shine. The diamond is the only jewel composed of a single element, carbon, and is known to be the hardest naturally occurring mineral on the earth. This gorgeous gemstone is created under extreme temperatures and pressures within the earth's crust. It is a unique gemstone due to its chemical makeup, structure, and formation process. Diamonds are believed to have first been mined in India approximately 4000 years ago along the banks of the Krishna, Penner, and Godavari rivers. Historians say India started trading diamonds as early as the 4th century BC. Brazil became a significant source of diamonds in the 18th century. The first significant diamond discovery in South Africa occurred in the late 1800s.

Diamonds are nowadays mined in various places of the world. Prominent sources include Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Russia, and Canada. The name diamond comes from the Greek word 'Adamas,' which means "invincible" or "indestructible." Diamonds are noted for their incredible hardness, scoring 10 on the Mohs scale. Another diamond can only scratch a diamond. Diamonds are available in a variety of colors in addition to white. Yellow and brown are the most popular diamonds, while blue, green, orange, and red are the rarest.

Fearlessness, abundance, perfection, and illumination are all attributes associated with diamonds. It is renowned as the 'Stone of Invincibility' due to its unyielding hardness. Diamonds are also believed to bring their wearer triumph and power. Diamonds are also considered to be the birthstone for those born in April. It is also the gemstone connected with the 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries. This jewel symbolizes purity, love, and eternity and is a favorite center stone for engagement and wedding rings.

Diamonds are available in a variety of hues. Diamonds in the standard color group span from colorless to light yellow to brown. Colorless diamonds are the most expensive and rarest of all of them. There are also 'fancy' diamonds that are less expensive and available in red, pink, yellow, purple, blue, and green. 'Champagne' and 'cognac' diamonds describe brown and yellow diamonds. Even the slightest color shift can drastically influence a diamond's value.

The official standard color grading system for diamonds ranges from 'D' to 'Z.' Diamonds with a Z-K rating have noticeable color and are not very valuable. J-I is almost colorless, with a warm tone that can be detected. H and G are nearly colorless as well. Unless they are compared to a colorless stone, it is difficult to tell what hue these diamonds are. Although F and E appear colorless to the naked eye, an expert gemologist can identify minute amounts of color. D-graded diamonds are colorless, scarce, and highly precious.

EMERALDS: THE KING OF ALL GREEN GEMSTONES

For over 4,000 years, this miraculous gemstone has been the most wanted in soothing and comforting the soul with its unparalleled green hue. This truly remarkable gemstone has always been believed to represent love, eternal youth, and rebirth. Over the centuries, this gemstone has inspired countless names to describe its lush green beauty. Various places across the world, such as The Emerald Isle in Ireland, the Philippines, Muntinlupa City, Washington, Seattle, and Oregon, all bear the name "emerald city." 

The name 'Emerald' was derived from the ancient Greek green, "smaragdus." Emerald was first known to be mined in ancient Egypt, dating from 330 BC to the 1700s. At that time, the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt (Cleopatra) was known to have a strong passion for emeralds and always used them in her royal adornments. 

Today emeralds are sourced from several countries across the globe, with Columbian producing some of the finest and most precious emeralds on the market today. Zambia, Brazil, Russia, Afghanistan, and Zimbabwe all have gem-quality emeralds in fine jewelry. 

Emerald is the most famous gem from the Beryl family amongst Aquamarine, Golden Beryl, and Morganite. Emeralds with lighter green tones are cheaper than the highly saturated deep green color.
