Diamond in the rough ~



From the Greek word  "Adamas", comes "diamond".  The meaning?  Invincible.  The world's hardest known naturally occuring material.  Marginal allotments are filtered through the Diamond Trading Company making the diamond a rare commodity.  Fancy colors of pink, blue, green and red are more challenging to come by, and if you happen upon one, the price will ring a resounding blare!!!  No two stones are ever identical though carat weight, color and clarity may be the same. Typically given in the tradition of everlasting love, the diamond represents purity, innocence, and eternity.  No wonder they're a girl's best friend... unless, of course, you have a Yorkie ;)  

"If I have chosen diamonds, it is because they represent the highest value in the smallest volume. Eternal and unchanging...." Gabrielle CoCo Chanel
