Diamonds

What makes Diamonds so desirable? What is it about a small sparkling rock that makes women’s hearts melt. Perhaps it comes down to human nature. We always want what we can’t have. And Diamonds are one of the hardest things to get. Literally. To create a diamond, the conditions have to be perfect. All you need is some carbon, enormous pressure, extreme heat – and time. Lots of time, between 35 million and 1 billion years. These objects of desire are created about 200 km’s below earth level and very slowly rise closer to the surface, but not that close. One still needs to dig a hole around 2 km’s deep to find one, and even then you’ve got a greater chance of finding a needle in a haystack. But when one eventually finds something so unique and so rare as a diamond, one is immediately captivated by it’s raw natural beauty. It makes you wonder how anyone could change a raw diamond?
