Procrastinate On Everything Else, But Not Diamond Jewelry

By Don Pedro

All the juicy properties of diamond collectively make it an important industrial and scientific material. It is so unique that people would pay a lot of money to own it and show it off. Now you know why it is perhaps the richest material that is usable for jewelry.

The way into a woman's heart is to get her a diamond rock on a ring. Or you could get her a necklace of top quality diamonds that sparkle like the stars in the sky. No, brighter. The kiss you get will probably be the best you have had since you asked her to marry you!

The way diamonds are formed in nature is an interesting case study. They crystallize from hot carbon-rich fluids within the earth at heats in the excess of a thousand degrees Celsius. What you get from that is nothing short of outright perfection. And the jewels made from them are the pride of their owner, and the envy of the world.

It is easy to condemn all those that have fought and killed each other over the diamond because you have never held the piece in your hand. The day you do, pray you have the will to resist that lure, for it might be your undoing. Diamonds are more than just myth; they are life.

The best things in life are free, some say. And in a sense they are, until one man gets to it and puts a price upon it. Diamonds are free for whoever finds them first, and then they cost a fortune, prize for the highest bidder.

You don't want to be left alone in a room with a diamond; the temptation is too strong and unfair. You could be all pure and holy, but at the very least you would desire to touch the flawless stone. And from that moment, you might never want to rest until you own it - legally or no.

People try to compare the character of the diamond to that of the human. The stone is flawless, but man falters. The stone radiates, but the character of man is questionable. Little wonder a woman would sooner own a diamond than a million promises from a man.

There are a number of places you could find diamonds. There are cratons, there are volcanic rocks, and they are waterbeds of streams that flow from volcanic sources. In some instances you find them also in sandstones and conglomerates. Whatever it takes, as long as you can lay your hands on earth's most priced precious stone.

Have you ever heard of diamond being called 'ice?' Why, you have probably called it that yourself. Well, it's because the stone is so white when it is so pure. It is what makes you want it so bad anyway, isn't it? Well, I don't blame you; I happened to me too, the first time, and continues to happen anytime I behold a piece so magnificent. - 15252
