Diamond Jewelry

A diamond's fire, beauty and strength are unrivaled by any other gemstone. In fact, diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man. The word diamond comes from the Greek word "adamas" meaning indestructible. A diamond is made of pure carbon that has been turned into clear crystals by tremendous heat and pressure deep within the earth's crust. It takes millions of years for a diamond to be formed and carried upward towards the earth's surface.

Since ancient times, diamonds have been one of the most coveted of gemstones. Ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were shards of stars that had fallen to the earth. Others believed diamonds were the tears of gods. Diamonds were used for protection, healing and decorative purposes. In 1477 AD, Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy to symbolize their betrothal and the tradition of a diamond engagement ring was born.

Throughout the ages, a diamond's strength and beauty have made it the ideal symbol of lasting love.

Care and Handling of Diamond Jewelry

A diamond is the hardest of all gemstones (10 on the Mohs scale) and is almost 100 times more resistant to scratching than the next hardest substance. However, the brilliance of any diamond can be dulled by small deposits of dirt or oil on the surface of the stone. To keep your diamond rings, necklaces, bracelets and diamond earrings their most beautiful, clean your diamond jewelry regularly with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Store your diamond jewelry safely in your Ross-Simons presentation box when not in use.
