The wonderful gem we call the diamond is the symbol of enduring love. It is the purest substance that occurs in Nature, and also one of the hardest natural materials in the known Universe. This remarkable hardness makes it resistant
to wear, unlike other gems, and also contributed to its reputation of being almost indestructible and able to last forever, like true love.

The word diamond originates from the Greek word "adamas," meaning to never surrender--a fitting description of the spirit of undying love. The Greeks also believed that the brilliance and luster of the diamond is similar
to the fire and spark of love. And like a loving relationship, the diamond is also unique, rare and precious. The ancients also believed that the tip of Cupid's arrow is said to be made of diamond, which links together the hearts of two lovers.
