Diamond

The stone at the heart of the wheel

Diamond is crystallised carbon, formed a hundred miles beneath the surface under heat and pressure no other gem endures, and carried up in ancient volcanic pipes. It is the hardest natural material known, a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, which is why a diamond's polish holds its fire for generations of daily wear.
