What is so special about diamonds?

There are good reasons why diamonds are a girl’s best friends. They have a brilliance and
hardness that is simply not available from any other stone. The brilliant fire and sparkle of
a well-cut diamond is due to the unique refraction and dispersion characteristics of diamond.

The hardness of a diamond is important because it means the stone will never loose its
sparkle even when subjected to everyday wear.

Diamonds are also a jeweller’s best friends because they work with designs in a way that
other stones can’t. Even the smallest diamonds add fire to a design, while larger stones
give a dramatic impression all of their own. The unique hardness of diamonds allows them
to be set in ways that are impossible with softer stones.
