Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth, and its name is derived from the ancient Greek word 'adamas', meaning 'invincible'.
Ancient Hindus named the stone 'vajra', meaning lightning, as they believed that the diamonds they found washed onto the river beds were created by bolts of lightning.
The diamond was also believed to have healing properties. During the Middle Ages, diamonds were thought to heal illness if the sick person took the diamond into bed to warm it up.
In modern times, the diamond has become a symbol of enduring love & fidelity. It is traditionally the gemstone chosen for engagement rings, due to its purity & beauty.
