Diamonds are wonderful presents due to their beauty, rarity, durability and glamour. Diamond gifts seem to be always appreciated. Diamonds stand for purity, eternal love and faith in most countries. Diamonds are most commonly colorless. Rarely, black, blue, brown, gray, green, pink, red, and yellow diamonds are mined according to the impurities involved. Though Diamond has a hardness rating of 10, it is considered to be brittle and will shatter on sharp impact. Often colored diamonds are painted or irradiated.
Though diamonds are quite durable, they can chip and fracture when handled roughly. Store diamonds separately. Be aware that diamonds can scratch other jewelry as well as each other.
