They say they are a woman's best friend, but what do you know about how
diamonds are formed? Diamond is a crystalline mineral of pure carbon that can
be created hundreds of kilometers below the Earth's surface by extreme heat and
pressure, or in a laboratory by carefully replicating natural processes. They

Superior gem
On the Mohs scale, used to assess the hardness of minerals, diamond is
at the top of the scale with a score of 10. It is the material with the highest
hardness and therefore has excellent scratch and chemical resistance.

Certified diamond for mining
The mining of diamonds used in Pandora jewelry comes from suppliers who
are certified members of the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC).

Standardized terminology
Unlike other gemstones, diamonds have an internationally standardized
terminology that allows us to correctly identify the quality of the stone.
Four factors of value
Diamonds possess qualities that allow them to be easily and
systematically evaluated using internationally standardized terminology for
weight, color, clarity, and cut to determine the rarity and value of individual
gemstones. Carat, the classification of the measurement of a diamond, should
not be confused with "carat", which is a measure of gold.
1. Carat
The carat specifies the bulk of the diamond, not its size. No matter
what carat weight you choose from the Pandora collection, you can rest assured
that the quality of the rest of the 3Cs is still guaranteed.
2. Color
The lack of color is an important factor in determining the quality of a
diamond and is rated on a scale from D to Z. For our diamonds, we do not accept
anything lower than "J" or higher - the rating is "nearly
colorless". This means that it is very difficult for the human eye to
perceive any color in its cult environment other than maximum light reflection.
3. Clarity
The degree of purity of a diamond means the presence or absence of
defects in it. The fewer defects or "inclusions" inside the diamond,
the brighter and brighter it will appear. All Pandora diamonds are VS2 + rated,
which means they will show a flawless image to the naked eye.

The cut defines the personality and brilliance of a diamond. By
adjusting angles, proportions and symmetry, every gem we create is expertly cut
to achieve maximum brilliance and radiance. All Pandora diamonds have a perfect
round cut, the highest cut level.
Take care of your diamond jewelry!
Take good care of your diamond by avoiding rough handling. When not
wearing them, store them separately and separately from other jewelry to avoid
scratches. Clean them with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Ultrasonic
cleaners should always be used with caution as they can damage heat-treated and
imperfect diamonds that are invisible to the naked eye.
Until 1870 diamonds were extremely rare .
it was rare to see them except in the hands of
sovereigns. The wealthy used to settle for other precious and semi-precious
stones for their jewelry. But after some finds in 1867, in 1870 a large
deposit of diamonds was discovered in Kimberly, South Africa. The large
amount of diamonds that were mined there caused the price of diamonds to fall,
so that investors in the mines saw their investments worth less and
less. In 1888, Cecil Rhodes founded the DeBeers diamond, merging his
company with another. And everyone changed. Rhodes became so powerful
that there was a region of Africa named after him, Rhodesia (now Zambia and
Zimbabwe).
The new company (named DeBeers after two Dutch settlers) controlled
virtually the entire world supply of diamonds. With which he could sell
them at the price that was considered appropriate. However, they suffered
a strong danger, and that is that the diamonds being valuable, any mine that
was found would be exploited. DeBeers has spent the entire 20th century
working on the supply of diamonds, but also on the demand. DeBeers
normally distributed its diamonds through the Central Selling Organization,
which ten times a year sold the diamonds to select buyers in London. These
in turn would be resold in NY, Antwerp or Tel-Aviv.
Synthetic sapphire
It has exactly the same properties and chemical structure as natural
sapphire. Therefore, a large magnification is normally required to
distinguish both gemstones.
Synthetic ruby
Synthetic ruby is the red variety of the mineral type,
corundum. It is produced using the fusion method and the red color is the
result of traces of chromium.
Durability
Score of 9 on the Mohs stiffness scale. Ruby and synthetic sapphire
are the hardest gemstones after diamond. This, combined with excellent
strength, makes them very durable and ideal for all types and styles of
jewelry.
Take care of your jewelry
Take care of the synthetic gems of your jewelry avoiding rough
handling. When you are not tiresome them, store them separately and away
from other jewelry to avoid scratches. Clean them with earnest water,
soap, and a soft brush, using circular motions.
