The symbol

Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. Its glyph derives from the figure of a maiden holding a sheaf of wheat, associated in Greek tradition with Demeter and in Roman tradition with Ceres, the goddesses of the harvest. Born between August 23 and September 22, Virgo carries late summer into early autumn, the season of careful gathering. Across traditions Virgo has been associated with discernment, devotion to craft, precision, and the work of bringing something to its finished, useful form.

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.
