Diamonds are nature's most perfect creation. Their structure, hardness, brilliance and beauty are unsurpassed. Formed millions of years ago, diamonds are rare as only a few survived the hazardous journey from the depths of the earth to the earth's surface. Before a diamond becomes a jewel, it will probably touch at least four continents and the lives of hundreds of people. The expertise of many skilled and experienced craftsmen is necessary for the complicated process of extracting and finishing a diamond.
