What is a diamond?
There are many views about diamonds. Most people think of a diamond as a 
beautiful gemstone used to make beautiful jewelry. We explain what your diamond 
really is?
TECHNICALLY
Diamond is an allotrope, or a form, of the element carbon (a diamond is actually 
carbon in its most concentrated form). Within a diamond, the carbon atoms are 
arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond 
lattice. This arrangement of carbon atoms essentially means that the diamond expands 
outward at the same rate in all directions during its initial growth.

A very hard nearly colorless stone that is a form of carbon and is used especially in 
jewelry.
HISTORY
The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of 
these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. A majority of these early stones 
were transported along the network of trade routes that connected India and China, 
commonly known as the Silk Road. At the time of their discovery, diamonds were valued 
because of their strength and brilliance, and for their ability to refract light and engrave 
metal. Diamonds were worn as adornments, used as cutting tools, served as a talisman 
to ward off evil, and were believed to provide protection in battle. In the Dark Ages, 
diamonds were also used as a medical aid and were thought to cure illness and heal 
wounds when ingested.
Cont..
Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in 
ancient India. Their usage in engraving tools also dates to early human history. The 
popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, 
improved cutting and polishing growth in the world economy, and innovative and 
successful advertising campaigns techniques.
