History of the Diamond

I’ve recently read a book called Master of the Game. The book explores a world-wide conglomerate which started its business in diamonds in South Africa. The book certainly enlightens the reader on the history of the diamond rushes in the 1800s and the sacrifices our obsession with these stones has called for over the centuries.

“Diamond” is derived from the ancient Greek word adamas which means “invincible.” Almost 50% of the world’s diamonds originate from central and southern Africa, but diamonds are also found in Canada (who knew, eh?), India, Russia, Brazil and Australia.

Diamonds are the hardest known substance on Earth. We wear them as jewelry and use them to saw through tungsten (which is why the woman’s wedding ring will always be superior to her husband’s tungsten counterpart). In fact, the only material that can cut through diamond is…diamond.

Diamonds can range in color from black (it’s not really black) to blue (have you ever seen the Hope Diamond? Hello!) to crystal clear. Diamonds are about as versatile as gems come and have no shelf life so they can span generation after generation after generation. After generation. You get the picture!

Why We Love Tennis Bracelets

Like diamond studs, the tennis bracelet is a jewelry staple. But why is that? One word: simplicity.

All staples are staples for the same reason: they are simple. Because of simplicity these pieces can be worn over and over without anyone catching on or becoming bored. Though it is still worn by tennis stars like Serena Williams during matches, the tennis bracelet is a favorite accessory by many a woman—athletic or otherwise. It’s simple enough to wear for almost any occasion with almost any outfit, but classy enough to solely accessorize a gown on the red carpet.

The tennis bracelet gained it’s namesake from an accident that occurred during the 1987 U.S. Open. Pro tennis champ Chris Evert was wearing a gorgeous diamond bracelet which accidentally broke during the game (imagine that). The match was interrupted to allow Evert to recover her tumbling diamonds. Thus it became known as the tennis bracelet!

Diamond History

When I was five years old, my sister and I buried some coal in my grandfather’s barn. We had heard that coal turns into diamonds and apparently assumed it wouldn’t take too long if we buried it in the sand. Unfortunately those little lumps of coal never turned into diamonds. At least I don’t think they have; we never could recover the burial place…

Tennis Bracelets: A History

When I was a little girl I remember my mom asking for a tennis bracelet for Christmas. I was pretty confused by this, seeing as my mom never played tennis. And why would you need a special bracelet to play tennis anyway?

The tennis bracelet actually gained it’s namesake from an accident that occurred during the 1987 U.S. Open. Pro tennis champ Chris Evert was wearing a gorgeous diamond bracelet which accidentally broke during the game (imagine that). The match was interrupted to allow Evert to recover her tumbling diamonds. Thus it became known as the tennis bracelet!

Though it is still worn by tennis stars like Serena Williams during matches, the tennis bracelet is a favorite accessory by many a woman—athletic or otherwise. It’s simple enough to wear for almost any occasion with almost any outfit, but classy enough to solely accessorize a gown on the red carpet.
