There are many stories and legends associated with the “king of stones”; he has been called indestructible since ancient times. Now diamonds are an object of admiration and attract the attention of the richest people. Diamond has outstanding healing and magical properties. Those who are planning to purchase diamond jewelry should know how to determine its quality and distinguish it from a fake. And if the storage rules are followed, the magnificent crystal will delight its owner with its beauty for a long time.
History and meaning of the diamond
The ancient Greeks called diamond - ἀδάμας, which translated means indestructible or invincible. The first nugget was found in India 6000 years ago. However, people were not impressed by the appearance of the diamond as it looked unattractive. The cloudy-transparent stone gained popularity later, when they learned to process it.
This is interesting! The stone was first cut and polished by Louis de Berquin (Burgundian jeweler) in the 15th century. To do this, he used diamond powder mixed with oil.
Gradually, the technology of stone cutting improved, new processing methods appeared, and already known ones were improved. In the 17th century, diamond jewelry became especially popular. This is due in no small part to the jewelers from Amsterdam and Antwerp, who made all the edges of the crystal flicker with light. After this, the fame of the diamond spread throughout the world, captivating the hearts and thoughts of many great people. To this day, the beauty of cut diamonds amazes.
