Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

Diamonds are the hardest gemstones and also the most valuable. Their most popular use is for engagement rings, especially the clear diamonds. Not all diamonds are clear, they come in an assortment of rare colors that each have their own special signficance.
The world's rarest and most prized diamond is the pink diamond as known as the "Pink Fancy". One of these diamonds would sell for around seven million dollars! That is a lot of money for a diamond but hey, that is what they are worth. Pink diamonds symolize creativity; for example,they promote creative expression in dancers and writers.
Yellow diamonds symbolize thoughtfulness and consideration. Diamond experts say that yellow diamonds are the perfect choice for grooms that want to do something different. It is a good way for them to show their brides how much they care.
Blue diamonds are a symbol of good health and promote peace and serenity. I have never seen a blue diamond in person but I have heard of one. The most popular blue diamond is the Hope Diamond. It was found by Henry Philip Hope, from whom the diamond is named, in 1839. It is a 67 carat stone that is mounted on a circle of large white diamonds. It was donated to the Smithsonian Institution, where it is today and has become its premier attraction.
Red diamonds have a very powerful meaning. In terms of engagement, it is a way for the groom to express that not only does he loves his bride, but also everything about her personality ad what she represents. In general terms, red diamonds symbolize strength and stability in life. It is also considered to be a stress reliever; it can help with the emotional state of mind. This particular diamond promotes inspiration in everyday activities and makes a powerful statement.
