Diamond forms under high temperature and pressure conditions that exist only about 100 miles beneath the earth’s surface.


Diamond’s carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Another mineral, graphite, also contains only carbon, but its formation process and crystal structure are very different.


Graphite is so soft that you can write with it, while diamond is so hard that you can only scratch it with another diamond.


A natural diamond is made from carbon and is the hardest natural known substance on earth.


Natural diamonds are created over a period of one to three billion years, at least 85 miles below the earth’s mantle under natural conditions of very high pressure and high temperature.



Once a diamond has been created in these underground conditions, it travels via molten rock to the earth’s surface, where it is mined, refined, and turned into beautiful jewelry or used for industrial purposes.

A natural diamond will be more durable over time than any other substance. Because they rate a 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness they are an ideal choice for everyday wear.


Because an engagement ring will be worn every day in most cases a natural diamond is the most obvious choice. They have survived billions of years and are the most durable stone a woman could wear on her finger.
