Diamond钻石

The word diamond comes from the Greek "adamas," meaning unbreakable. Ancient Indians believed diamonds formed where lightning struck rock, and the stones were used as talismans to ward off evil. The modern tradition of the diamond engagement ring began in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy.

Across cultures the diamond has symbolized eternal love and unyielding strength. Some traditions hold that a diamond worn against the skin enhances clarity of thought and amplifies the wearer’s natural virtues.

Symbolism: Eternal love, purity, and invincible strength.

Diamond is the hardest natural substance (10 Mohs), so it resists scratches — but it can still chip on sharp impact along its crystal grain. Clean with steam, ultrasonic, or warm soapy water. Store separately from other jewelry, as a diamond will scratch every softer stone it touches.

• Mohs hardness: 10
• Suitable for everyday wear depending on setting and lifestyle.
• Store separately to avoid contact with harder stones.
