The colorless diamond is the classic and timeless symbol of devotion and love. In India, by 300 BC, diamonds were first used to engrave other gemstones as they are the hardest, naturally occurring substance on earth. Natural, mined diamonds are formed below the earth’s surface under intense heat and pressure, and are almost 100% carbon.

Today, they are mined as well as grown in labs, with the goal of attaining a flawless stone, free of inclusions or imperfections, and as close to colorless as possible. They are graded on an internationally recognized scale of quality according to their cut, clarity, carat weight, and color.
