Open Heart Jewelry Diamonds
January 22nd, 2010
Here’s a quick question. What is one of (if not the) most popular gemstone present in open heart jewelry? The answer is “diamonds”. In this article we will be exploring the world of the diamond. We will be examining some of it’s basic qualities and note why it has been considered so special throughout the ages.
The diamond is known as the “King of Gems” for good reason. It has been desired and coveted for men (and women) throughout the history of man. There was a time when knights wore uncut diamonds on their armor. Cut and refined versions of the same gem were worn proudly on the crowns of kings and queens. It has become internationally known as the symbol of love, and it’s potential as an investment instrument is well known.
Did you realize that there was a time in which the diamond was thought to be endowed with magical and mystical powers. By merely possessing a diamond (it was thought), the holder would be endowed with courage, superior strength, and bravery. Is there any reason why knights wore them on their suits of armor? It was also thought that a diamond could ward off the devil and other sorted creatures of the night.
The diamond has been attributed to many different things over the years. For example: (1) Sleepwalking, (2) Sexual Prowess, (3) Spiritual Ecstasy, and (4) Invincibility. In order for the bearer of the diamond to benefit from these attributes, they would have had to have found the diamond in nature (i.e.: “in the wild”), its natural location. If the diamond was purchased from another person, then this “supposed contract” would be void. One exception was if the diamond was offered in an exchange of love or friendship (for example, an engagement ring). In this particular case, the magical powers that were associated to the diamond may return.
