I know your wife loves you and all, but diamonds are indeed a girl's best friend. If you really want to make her day, buy her a stud for your next wedding anniversary. She'll love you more than you ever can imagine. Diamond jewelries are indeed real beauties to behold and to possess.

There are jewels and then there are diamond jewels. Jewels are dear to most women, but no woman alive can boast of not wanting a diamond piece in her collection. It's more than just the rock hardness of the stone; it's the fact that it is so so beautiful. You can't just take your eye off of it.

Kimberlitic diamonds are the ones that are born where diamonds belong: at the crust, in the soul of the earth. They are the pure ones that make priceless jewels that sell for millions of dollars.

During the rapid ascent of molten magma to Earth's surface, they bring up diamonds that have already been formed in the earth by ages of temperature and pressure.
