Mr.Charming : Will you marry me sweetheart *kneels down with a huge diamond ring*
Ms.Beautiful : OMG!! yes yes!! *love is in the air*
My obsession towards diamond started when i was little. Every sunday mum will be watching English movies where the story line will be the normal *boy meets girl and girl meets boy,they fight,they get together, and the finally live happily ever after* The part that i love most about these movies are when the hero will kneel down to propose the heroin. I always enjoyed looking at the diamond rings. The shape of the diamond and how perfectly it glitters under the light always leave me speechless. People says that diamond is girl`s best friend. Its just like a magnet that attracts the girls. We simply fall in love with its beauty. And yes..i always wonder where do diamonds come from,what are they made of? why is diamond so expensive?
What i learn from my teachers and internet are that diamonds do come in alot of colours for example..blue,red,yellow,pink and white. Diamonds are the hardestnatural material known. he hardness of diamonds contributes to its suitability as a gemstone. Because it can only be scratched by other diamonds, it maintains its polish extremely well. Unlike many other gems, it is well-suited to daily wear because of its resistance to scratching—perhaps contributing to its popularity as the preferred gem in engagment ring or wedding ring , which are often worn every day.

The diamond crystal lattice is exceptionally strong and only atoms of nitrogen, boron and hydrogen can be introduced into diamond during the growth at significant concentrations (up to atomic percents). Transition metals Ni and Co, which are commonly used for growth of synthetic diamond by the high-pressure high-temperature techniques, have been detected in diamond as individual atoms, however the maximum concentration is 0.01% for Ni and even much less for Co. Note however, that virtually any element can be introduced in diamond by ion implantation. Nitrogen is by far the most common impurity found in gem diamonds. Nitrogen is responsible for the yellow and brown in diamonds. Boron is responsible for the gray blue colors.and perhaps pink and red diamonds. In order of rarity, colorless diamond, by far the most common, is followed by yellow and brown, by far the most common colors, then by blue, green, black, translucent white, pink, violet, orange, purple, and the rarest, red. "Black," or , diamonds are not truly black, but rather contain numerous dark inclusions that give the gems their dark appearance.
Colored diamonds contain impurities or structural defects that cause the coloration, while pure or nearly pure diamonds are transparent and colorless. Most diamond impurities replace a carbon atom in the crystal lattice , known as a carbon flaw . The most common impurity, nitrogen, causes a slight to intense yellow coloration depending upon the type and concentration of nitrogen present. Color in diamond has two additional sources: irradiation (usually by alpha particles), that causes the color in green diamonds; and physical deformation of the diamond crystal known as plastic deformation. Plastic deformation is the cause of color in some brown.
Learning about diamonds makes me more in love with it. No wonder diamonds are so expensive.
hasha : Romeo,bring me a big huge diamond ring,will you?
