The color of diamonds
When we think of diamonds, we first think of a colorless, yet sparkling, luminous gemstone in various cuts and carats. However, diamonds also come in other colors, such as
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Red
- Brown and
- Black.
Because these colored diamonds stand out from the usual color chart, they are also called fancy diamonds. "Fancy" translates as extravagant or unusual . At Tarboz, you'll find diamonds with a fine cut and various carats. You can purchase diamonds of high purity from us as rough gemstones or as fine jewelry. What does "flawless" actually mean? It means that even under tenfold magnification, no inclusions are visible—a sign of the highest quality of the gemstone.
Are brilliants and diamonds the same thing, or are they different gemstones? No, they are not different stones. Brilliants are specially cut diamonds , hence the name brilliant cut. A characteristic of the cut of brilliants is that the gemstones
- are ground in a round shape
- have at least 56 facets, of which at least 32 at the top and 24 at the bottom
- and that these facets are arranged at very specific angles and, above all, in a radial pattern.
Story
There are many different accounts of the history of the first diamonds. Between The first discoveries in India date back to 400 to 4000 BC. There, the gemstones were known as vajra, which roughly means " unbreakable ." The stones did not reach Europe in larger quantities until around 1200.
Until the 18th century, India was considered the only place where diamonds were found, until larger deposits were finally discovered in Brazil and later in South Africa. These ushered in a new era in the diamond trade. However, these mostly colorless stones were not yet able to compete with other gemstones. Exceptions to this were particularly large specimens such as the Koh-i-Noor or the Regent Diamond , which have particularly fascinating stories to tell.
In the 1920s, it was the De Beers company that helped diamonds achieve worldwide success as jewelry with a unique campaign. The company promoted the stone as a symbol of endless love , set as diamonds in engagement and wedding rings. Over the next decades, interest in diamonds and exclusive diamond jewelry grew, not least thanks to hits by divas like Marylin Monroe ("Diamonds are a girl's best friend") and Shirley Bassey ("Diamonds are forever").
Locations
Since India's decline in importance for diamond mining, today's diamond deposits are found primarily in Africa, but also in Russia, Canada, and Australia. Diamonds are usually mined from extinct volcanoes as primary deposits. Large quantities of the gemstones are often found in their funnel-shaped remains, which are extracted both through open-pit and underground mining. Secondary diamond deposits, although usually less productive, are found in river sediments, so-called placer deposits, and on the seabed.
mythology
The Indians believed that diamonds could ward off all evil and that their magnificent sparkle repelled all harm and magic. The Egyptians considered the gemstone equivalent of light and the sun; the Romans and Greeks revered the stones as fragments of stars and tears of the gods. Diamonds were considered a symbol of invulnerability until the Middle Ages, and later even a healing agent.
Esotericism
Diamonds are also believed to have special positive effects as healing stones. Diamonds are said to strengthen willpower and vitality, as well as represent order, clarity, and logical thinking . Diamond jewelry boosts self-confidence. A theory we at Tarboz can only agree with. Take a look around our shop and see for yourself the positive effects of our high-quality stones!
Chemistry
How are diamonds formed? Diamonds require great heat and pressure to form. Therefore, they form at depths of around 150 kilometers and at high temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Celsius. Volcanoes transport diamonds to the Earth's surface. They consist of pure carbon crystallized in cubic form.
Likelihood of confusion
To determine the authenticity and quality of a diamond, you should consult a professional. There are gemstones that closely resemble real diamonds. There are also synthetic diamonds that are worth only a fraction of the value. Here, the difference is particularly undetectable to laypeople, which is why it's essential to consult an appraiser.
But there are other gemstones that can appear like real diamonds to the naked eye. These include
- White sapphires
- Moissanite
- White topazes and especially
- Zircons.
At Tarboz, all stones come with a certificate from our partner mines confirming their authenticity and quality. Feel free to browse our online shop and find the perfect gemstone or jewelry for you!
Largest diamond in the world
There are a number of famous diamonds that have extremely exciting stories to tell, including a series of murders and criminal cases. The largest rough diamond ever found is the Cullinan Diamond. This gemstone originated in South Africa and weighed over 3,100 carats, equivalent to over 600 grams. Over 105 stones were cut from it. The largest of these was named Cullinan I and found its way into the British Crown Jewels as a diamond jewelry piece.
Diamond as jewelry and investment
