Diamonds are just on another level. As one of the hardest substances on earth, they really last. Even the name of this world-famous gem connotes strength as it is derived from the Greek word adamas, which means “unconquerable.”
According to Greek legend, the god Chronos changed a man named Adamas into a precious stone. Prior to his peculiar ending, Adamas was known for his unbelievable strength and good luck, which is how the Greeks explained the crazy strength of diamonds. Speaking of strength, a diamond is 58 times harder than anything else found in nature and can only be burned by temperatures that top 1290-1650 degrees Fahrenheit.
Diamonds have been known for their strength throughout their long history. They were thought to cure illnesses, including poisonings, and had the power to reinforce the love between married couples. Warrior kings were adamant about going into battle with diamond-studded leather breastplates to reap the rewards of the magical qualities and supernatural powers of diamonds.
This 1.19ctw cushion cut diamond spreads like a madwoman. She is a quintessential example of a cushion cut with those soft, rounded corners and large facets that allow for more light to bounce around inside and outside the diamond. She’d sparkle from miles away while sitting low profile in our custom 18K glam band.
