The symbol

Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. Its glyph traces the mane and curving tail of the lion, descended from the Nemean lion slain by Heracles and from older Mesopotamian and Egyptian lion deities. Born between July 23 and August 22, Leo carries the peak heat of summer, the season of full bloom and visible strength. Across traditions Leo has been associated with creativity, generosity, the warmth that draws others in, and the radiant confidence of someone who has nothing to prove.

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.
