History of Diamonds
THE HISTORY OF DIAMONDS

A Legacy That Sparkles Through Time

Diamonds have fascinated civilizations for more than 2,000 years. The earliest known diamonds were discovered in India, where they were treasured for their extraordinary beauty, rarity, and incredible strength. Ancient cultures believed diamonds symbolized courage, protection, and prosperity, making them highly valued by rulers and warriors alike.

As trade expanded across the world, diamonds became prized possessions of European royalty and nobility. Their unmatched brilliance and exclusivity established them as symbols of wealth, prestige, and timeless elegance.

During the late nineteenth century, the discovery of major diamond deposits in South Africa transformed the jewellery industry forever. These discoveries introduced modern diamond cutting techniques and made fine diamonds more widely available while preserving their reputation as one of the world's most desirable gemstones.

Today, diamonds continue to represent love, commitment, and life's most meaningful milestones, making them the centrepiece of engagement rings and fine jewellery around the world.

UNDERSTANDING DIAMOND QUALITY

The Internationally Recognised 4Cs

Every diamond is evaluated using the internationally recognised 4Cs. Understanding these four characteristics will help you compare diamonds with confidence and choose the right stone for your jewellery.

C

Cut

The cut determines how effectively a diamond reflects light. A well-cut diamond produces exceptional brilliance, fire, and sparkle, making it appear brighter and more beautiful.

C

Colour

Most white diamonds are graded from colourless to light yellow or brown. Colourless diamonds are generally considered the most valuable because they allow more light to pass through the stone.

C

Clarity

Clarity measures the natural inclusions and blemishes formed during a diamond's creation. Most inclusions are microscopic and cannot be seen without magnification.

C

Carat

Carat refers to a diamond's weight rather than its physical size. Larger diamonds are rarer, making higher carat weights generally more valuable.
