Diamond forms from the element called carbon, the most abundant in the element in the earth. It is also used in making some of the best and most expensive jewelry you ever saw. It costs a lot, but most people don't mind the cost if only they can have the thing on their bodies for just a few glorious moments. I won't say I blame them because of the beauty of diamonds jewelry on people, especially beautiful ladies.
Diamonds are unique, to say the least. Which makes them perfectly befitting for jewels. You couldn't find any other substance more beautiful and alluring, hard and flawless, unique and? and? perfect. Diamonds just do it the way no other substance can. So you know they will be expensive, don't you? Buying diamond jewelry for a loved one is a sure sign of how much you love and value that special someone.
How would you feel, knowing that the stone you are wearing on your finger took the earth a couple of million years to build? It has simply got to cost a lot of money to purchase a jewel made of it; what else do you expect?
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.
The best things in life are free, some say. And in a sense they are, until one man gets to it and puts a price upon it. Diamonds are free for whoever finds them first, and then they cost a fortune, prize for the highest bidder.
No one blames anyone for wanting to own a diamond jewel; we all do. Save for those who have never even come close to the gem, everyone wants to own a few diamonds, or at least one. It is why the world is the way it is; ugliness looking for beauty within itself.
Sometimes you feel a kinship with mother earth when you wear diamond jewelry on your person. Knowing that on your body lies a piece of this world that is as old, perhaps as the world itself, it makes you feel like a king. And perhaps you are, if not you will not have that stone on you.
The funnel-shaped kimberlite ?pipes? that are found in volcanic rocks are actually primary deposits of diamond. They are formed when the rock erupted; carrying the stones from the bowels of the earth, solidify after the upsurge. A lot of diamonds are mined from there, before they become the gems on your necks and fingers.
