Diamonds are the oldest gemstones in creation.
Many were born in the fiery depths of the earth over 3 billion years ago. Most are over 100 million years old. No other gemstone is so hard to find or difficult to mine. Indeed, the larger the diamond, the rarer it can be. A three carat diamond, for example, can cost up to seven times more than a one carat diamond of equal color and clarity and only one polished diamond in a thousand is over one carat.
