The symbol

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. Its glyph traces a sea-goat, an unusual hybrid creature with the upper body of a mountain goat and the tail of a fish, descended from the Sumerian deity Enki and the Greek god Pan. Born between December 22 and January 19, Capricorn opens at the winter solstice, the longest night, when the sun begins its slow return. Across traditions Capricorn has been associated with discipline, ambition, the patient climb, and the willingness to build something that lasts.

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.
