'"Here comes the science part"... Diamonds are formed of pure carbon which has been compressed by immense pressure and heat over thousands of years, between 100 and 200 miles below the surface of the earth. Volcanic explosions push the diamonds up through the earth to the surface, where they tend to find their way into rivers and streams. Believing that they were splinters from the failing stars and the tears of the Gods, the Greeks and Romans revered diamonds, which is a much more romantic explanation! Those of the Hindu religion believe that lightening striking rocks caused the formation of diamonds. They also believed that the stones possessed special powers, and thus used them as the eyes for all of their statues.
Representing the ultimate gift of love and romance, diamonds derive their name from the Greek word “adamo” which means to ‘tame’ or ‘subdue’. This is a reference to the antiquated notion that once a woman was wed to a man, she fell into his ownership. Ha!
