A distinctive pendant featuring a natural rough Diamond from Canada, elegantly mounted in handcrafted 18Kt gold. Rather than being cut and faceted, the gemstone retains its original crystal form, preserving the rugged beauty and natural character developed deep within the Earth. Its silvery-grey appearance, subtle translucency, and textured surface offer a fascinating contrast to the warm lustre of the gold setting.
Diamond is composed of pure carbon crystallised under extreme pressures and temperatures within the Earth's mantle. As the hardest naturally occurring mineral, it possesses exceptional durability and a unique crystal structure that commonly forms octahedral and rounded crystal habits. In its natural state, Diamond reveals geological features often hidden by conventional cutting and polishing.
Canada has become one of the world's most important modern Diamond-producing regions, with deposits formed billions of years ago and transported to the surface by Kimberlite eruptions. These ancient geological processes preserved the Diamonds within stable cratonic rocks, creating specimens prized not only for their rarity but also for their direct connection to Earth's deep geological history.
