Description

Diamond was discovered in 500 B.C. in India. The name "diamond" comes from the Greek word "adamas" which means unconquerable, suggesting the eternity of love. Since ancient Greece, diamonds have been the traditional symbol of love. The ancients believed they were hardened dew drops, splinters from the stars or crystallized lightening.
