Undoubtably, a diamond is forever!!

A diamond is forever. How many times have you heard that phrase? Have you ever sat back and asked yourself what it truly means?
The famous advertising line was coined in 1947 by the DTC (Diamond Trading company) which is the marketing arm of De Beers...targeted at existing diamond customers in an attempt to discourage them from putting their old diamonds onto the secondary market, thus reducing competition for the new diamonds.
Is there more to it than meets the eye?

Kick back and let me take you on a short journey.
Diamonds were created deep in the earth's crust over millions of years under very high pressure and temperature. They were then pushed to the surface due to volcanic eruptions, so saying a diamond is forever is no lie!!
Diamond is the hardest substance know to man. It takes one diamond to cut another. What that means to you is that it will not break or crack unless you take a hammer to it....you won't do that just to prove me wrong will you?
Since the early 1900's people have been wearing diamonds and two centuries later, we are still wearing them. I'll be so bold as to state that in another two centuries, your great grand children will still be wearing diamonds....so truly, a diamond is forever.
In 1919, a very clever man by name of Marcel Tolkowsky calculated a symmetrical diamond cut a variation of which we still use today.
Since then, diamonds have featured in engagement rings , wedding rings and even mens' diamond rings

I would suggest looking at your diamond and diamond rings not only as jewelry but as long term investments as well. Since diamonds have not been know to devalue, you know that in case of any unforeseen circumstance, you have some diamonds to fall back on.
They are as good as money in your pocket or on your finger if you wear your diamonds on a ring.
Also, your grandchildren don't have to buy new diamond rings in the year 2208. You can leave yours' behind as a legacy and they in turn can pass it on to their children. So in whatever which way you look at it......a diamond is forever!!!
