Mankind's fascination with diamonds is nothing new, despite the incredible sophistication of modern gemology. In fact, the hardness of diamonds and the innate difficulties working with them, has not necessarily made a significant difference in how consumers have viewed the diamond. In fact, history shows that there has always been a significant amount of interest in diamonds regardless of the refining techniques available. This is not surprising when you behold a natural diamond. A natural diamond is certainly a tiny physical manifestation of Mother Nature's own glory, and it is easy to see why natural diamonds are amazingly attractive in their own right. Why people eventually decided to start refining natural diamonds is at least partially a mystery, but gazing upon a natural diamond makes it clear that there is some sort of un-definable mystical essence to the gemstone. That essence is at once tangible and mythical, which may explain why there are so many connections between diamonds and mysticism and/or religion. In fact, the wealthy and religious elites of countless cultures have collected diamonds for their mystic powers and/or beauty for generations. While it is impossible to fully articulate the amazing appearance of a natural diamond, it is possible to offer some general descriptions of natural diamonds and how they can be used. Natural diamonds are available in many colors, and come in various shades and some perfect geometric shapes! That might sound like an oxymoron at first, but crystals grow in complex geometric shapes and may have inspired everyone from early mathematicians and architects to miners and gem-cutters throughout the ages. The natural geometric shapes are amazingly simple, but startling gorgeous at the same time. It is easy to see where gemology began once you take a look at a natural diamond, and while the results of polishing and cutting provide great results, it also has a negative side effect; removing the uniqueness of any given gem. The color and natural facets of any given natural diamond are truly unique, far more so than any two similarly sized and cut polished and cut diamonds. The uniqueness is part of what Mother Nature intended, and it can be brought to bear in one-of-a-kind ideas such as very unique engagement rings, stunning earrings, or even powerful necklaces.
