The first diamonds were found approximately 3,000 years ago in India. This precious stone has survived through many major historical events and has never lost its demand. The term ‘diamond’ actually originates from the Greek word ‘adamas’, meaning indomitable, or ’strong’.

Diamonds have been the stone of luxury for many centuries.  Wherever you may be in the world, you will find that the diamond is highly valued and treasured.

However, have you often wondered just why this is?
