The symbol

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. Its glyph traces the curving horns of the ram, a shape inherited from the Egyptian deity Amun-Ra and from the Cretan ram cult of the bronze age. Born between March 21 and April 19, Aries enters the year at the spring equinox, the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator heading north. Across traditions Aries has been associated with initiative, leadership, and the willingness to begin, the spark that opens any cycle.

About this stone

Diamond is pure crystalline carbon, formed at depths of 150 to 250 kilometers in the earth's mantle under pressures and temperatures that exist nowhere on the surface. The diamonds reaching jewelry counters were carried to the surface by deep volcanic eruptions called kimberlite pipes that occurred between 1 and 3 billion years ago. The stone is 10 on the Mohs scale, the hardest natural material known, and the only gem mineral to scratch every other. Industrial diamond is also used as a cutting medium for the very rocks from which gem diamond is mined. The accent diamond in this piece was selected by a certified gemologist for color and clarity.

Care and wear

Diamond is the hardest natural material and resistant to chemicals, heat, and abrasion. Clean with mild soap and warm water, with ultrasonic, or with steam cleaners.
