| The diamond is a most unusual traveler and one of the few substances to reach the earth’s surface from its remote depths. It is one of nature’s masterpieces and, as a gemstone, it has no equal. It owes its very existence to an intricate balance of intense pressure and heat.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and highly personal. In the natural world beauty cannot exist without harmony and balance. For instance, glorious sunsets and spectacular mountain vistas both require a natural harmony of the elements for their spectacular tableaus. This lesson takes on special significance when buying a diamond. One needs to consider all of a diamond’s characteristics and weigh their value without losing perspective and balance. A diamond’s beauty, rarity and price depend on the interplay of all the 4 C’s used to classify the rarity of diamonds.
South Africa’s pre-eminent position in the industry extends beyond mining to the painstaking cutting and polishing of the gemstones. What segregates these South African diamonds from others cut in South Africa is quite simply, their beauty and craftsmanship.
