Step 2: Understand why Diamonds are Valuable?
|
Throughout history, diamonds have shown themselves in
practically every civilization and culture imaginable.
From ancient
Egypt to Mesopotamia, the unmistakable presence of diamonds
is difficult to deny. In these early days, where much
upon the earth was still undiscovered, the sheer beauty,
brilliance and awe of the first diamond ever discovered,
surely differentiated itself from anything else.
Perhaps
it was the diamond's beauty that first enamored these
ancient people? Or could it be the diamonds' indestructibility
that caused people who owned them to associate similar
feelings about themselves. Of course, with this beauty
came an increased demand for something that was still
unknown. In fact, the harder the ancients tried to
find diamonds, the more difficult it was to find them.
Within
this first cycle of discovery, awe and the need to
have more, the ancients unknowingly created a process that
would give birth to the most valuable gem in the world-Diamonds.
This is how diamonds have became a part of our lives.
