Diamond Jewelry

Diamond jewelry has been created since ancient times. In fact, diamonds are one of the best-known gemstones worldwide. In addition to this, they are also the most sought-after.

The crystals used in the creation of diamond jewelry are comprised of carbon atoms. These atoms are arranged within a isometric matrix. This means that they are arranged within a cubic matrix. In their development, the crystal extends outward at the same, equal rate. Without any interference, this would create a pure octahedral shape.

Of course, the crystals used in diamond jewelry do not generally develop without interference. Heat, pressure, and interaction with other diamonds or other elements will affect their development. This accounts for the wide array of clarity, color, and shape that diamonds exhibit.
