The symbol

The English word diamond comes from the Greek adamas, meaning unconquerable. As April's birthstone, it has stood for clarity, strength, and enduring commitment for over 2,000 years, since the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder called it "the most valuable, not only of precious stones, but of all things in this world."

About this stone

Diamond is crystallized carbon, the same element as graphite, but with each atom bonded to four others in a rigid three-dimensional lattice. This makes it the hardest natural material on earth (Mohs 10). Most natural diamonds formed 1 to 3 billion years ago, 90 to 120 miles below the earth's surface. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Diamond is the hardest natural material and is suitable for daily wear without restriction. Clean with mild soap and warm water, or with an ammonia-based jewelry cleaner. Inspect the prongs annually to confirm the stone remains securely set.
