In a relationship, symbols are important and vital. Jewelry represents a number of symbols. If you really care for the other person, nothing beats diamond jewelry to deliver the message.
A commitment to another person is?well, a commitment. A person is looking for a commitment of time and totality. Diamonds are symbols for both of these things because of their nature.
Diamonds are also unique in their creation. They are the only gem created from one element. The element is carbon. Although carbon is common, it is rare in diamond form.
Carbon is most often found in a powder form. In this form, it is a dark black color. When forces work upon it, however, it can become something magical.
Diamonds are created when carbon is battered by certain forces. These include heat and pressure. Given enough time, the carbon evolves into a hard, clear substance ? a diamond.
Diamonds get their name from the Greeks. It seems the Greeks named everything some times! In this case, the name comes from the word ?adamas?, which means unconquerable.
We find diamonds in areas that were geographically active. The pressure and heating happens deep in the earth. The only way we can find them is when they are pushed up through the crust during volcanic activity.
Being an intelligent person, you have probably noticed a distinct age element to diamonds. Simply put, they are very old. No, not millions of years old. Billions!
Diamonds can be very hard to find, which makes them precious. Most diamonds we find, however, cannot be used for jewelry. This makes the 20 percent that can even more precious.
On the human scale, diamonds have not been used as jewelry for as long as you might think. Although royalty is noted to have diamond encrusted things, the first diamond ring on record was only given in 1477. Given their age, that isn't long ago.
The vary nature of diamonds is what gives them value. The age associated with them is incredible. Throw in the fact they are nearly impossible to break and you have the perfect gem for jewelry. An unbreakable commitment of time.
