Learn About Natural Diamonds
What Are Natural Diamonds?
Natural diamonds are precious gemstones formed deep within the Earth over billions of years. They are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which gives them exceptional hardness and brilliance. Each natural diamond is unique, with its own set of characteristics and inclusions that tell a story of its origin and journey through the Earth’s mantle.
How Are They Formed?
Natural diamonds are created under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, approximately 140 to 190 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. Over millions of years, carbon atoms bond together to form crystals. Volcanic eruptions then bring these crystals closer to the surface, where they are mined today.
Why Choose a Natural Diamond?
– Rarity: Natural diamonds are rare and finite. Their scarcity adds to their value and significance.
– Tradition: For centuries, natural diamonds have symbolized eternal love, commitment, and prestige.
– Investment: High-quality natural diamonds often retain or increase their value over time.
Certification and Quality
Each natural diamond we offer is certified by trusted gemological institutions such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or HRD. These certificates verify the diamond’s quality based on the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight.
Ethical Sourcing
At Makriadis Jewelry, we are committed to responsible sourcing. All our natural diamonds are conflict-free, acquired through ethical and regulated supply chains that comply with the Kimberley Process.
Natural vs. Lab-Grown
While both types of diamonds are real and possess the same physical and chemical properties, natural diamonds are created by nature over billions of years, making them a marvel of geological history. They carry a sense of legacy and natural rarity that many customers deeply value.
