Diamonds have four major characteristics
known as, “The four C’s, carat, color, clarity & cut. Diamond is
derived from the Greek word meaning: proper, unbreakable and
unalterable. It is thought to be discovered in India over 6,000 years
ago.
A small number of natural diamonds fall
outside of the typical white-yellow-brown color range. They can be pink,
blue, purple, red, orange or any color. When they are a pleasing shade
they can be extremely valuable and are given the name “fancy” diamonds. With a hardness of ten on the Mohs Scale, diamond is the hardest natural substance. Diamonds are so hard that the only tool that can be used to cut a diamond must be made from another diamond.
