The word diamond itself has its root in the Greek adámas, which means ‘unbreakable’. Both the unquestionable beauty and the near indestructible nature of the diamond have been recognised since ancient times, and both these qualities have led this remarkable stone to be acknowledged as a universal symbol of love, dedication and commitment.
One would think that subjecting the diamond to a scientific analysis would steel some of the magic away from this marvel and render diamond rings drab and unexciting, but its remarkable properties and origins only reinforce the poetry of its symbolism. In many ways, the diamond is an unremarkable mineral: in essence it is a form of carbon not dissimilar to graphite or coal. But these particular chunks of carbon were forged into their current form millennia ago under tremendous pressures and temperatures that exceed our imaginations. The diamond’s incredible strength is partly due to what scientists call covalent bonding, simply put this means that each particle of a diamond – on an atomic level – pulls and attracts the other particles within its atomic matrix with incredible force. It is the mutual attraction of all a diamond’s atoms which give this stone its inconceivable strength and resilience. And if this is not dramatic enough, not all diamonds originated on Earth: many were transported by meteorites from other areas of the cosmos to our home world. Surly this dramatic story can only emphasise our belief that the diamond is the exemplar token of love and dedication?
The stone on our diamond engagement rings and wedding rings started as a chunk of one of the humblest materials we know, but subjected to dramatic conditions over millions of years and held together by incredible self-generated force it became the beautiful thing that it is today. Surly there is only one thing more remarkable than a diamond, and that is the love and commitment that it symbolises to those who wear them.
