Its name "diamond" is precious itself and this jewel has been an undeniable symbol of luxury. Unfortunately, I have never touched nor seen diamonds in my life. I only see such in movies. Thus, I felt the need to know more about this jewel. Based on my readings, here are some impressive and interesting information about diamonds: 1. A diamond is the world's natural hardest material and its name is derived from the Greek word "adamas" which means indestructible. 2. Diamonds' age is at most 3 billions of years. 3. Colorless diamonds are the rarest. 4. Diamonds are believed to provide strength and courage during battle so warriors and kings would wear them. 5. Scientists discovered a star, later named Lucy which is a diamond of ten billion trillion trillion carats. Do you know some mind-blowing facts about diamonds? Do you think they are really rare?

I have several diamonds here. None of them are large. Some are old, some are more recent. Another power diamonds have is the ability to make a woman smile when you give her one

Or she might cry out of extreme happiness and disbelief. Either way, it's a sweet gesture to give a woman one

@shairai She did. I saw some earrings that she always wanted went on sale. I bought them and surprised her. She was really happy. It took some extra jobs to make back the cost but her reaction made it all worthwhile.
