I just received my pendant and it’s absolutely beautiful! I had ordered a blue diamond to honor the memory of my dog Pixie, whom I lost in October 2016. She was the most special soul I had ever known and my one-in-a-million dog. The diamond is spectacular and Claire was so helpful from start to finish. The process went smoothly and I was updated at every step. This is such a personal and sentimental thing to do and I could not think of a better way to keep Pixie close to my heart. I had used her fur and combined ...

Not everything you know about diamonds is true! Pressurized coal Diamonds are not made from pressurized coal, as poetic as the concept may seem. Coal is composed of much more than just carbon. You may be able to make a diamond from coal, but it would be very impure and therefore have little worth. The more facets, the more brilliant While facets are what give a diamond its shine, it is not the number of facets that affect its brilliance. The amount of light your diamond will reflect will be a result of how well the facets in your diamond are cut. Dozens of ...

A look into the formation of diamonds. The mantle Diamonds are formed under intense pressure and heat in the Earth’s mantle. The perfect conditions for diamonds to form are fairly rare. The temperature must be roughly 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. After the diamonds have formed, they are shot up to the Earth’s crust by volcanic eruptions, where they will then be mined. Subduction zones Diamonds can also form in subduction zones. A subduction zone occurs when one tectonic plate shifts under another. The high heat and pressure caused by the subduction causes the diamonds to form. They too will rise to ...

Here is a short guide to how some diamonds get their color. Pink/red Pink and red diamonds receive their color from the extreme pressure and heat places up then by the Earth’s crust. These conditions cause the structure of the gem to reconfigure so that it absorbs green light, leaving it red. Green Green diamonds are incredibly rare. This is because they receive their color from naturally occurring radiation found in the earth’s crust. Yellow/orange Nitrogen in yellow and orange diamonds makes them absorb blue light and reflect yellow. Blue When boron combines with the carbon in the diamond, it ...
