Diamonds

Where lies the price in a diamond. How do you judge its worth?

Is it in its weight? The heavier the diamond the better? Or in its color? Or perhaps within the perfection of its cut. How do you judge the value of a diamond?

Weight. Is a larger diamond worth more? Would 10 smaller diamonds of equal weight be of equal worth to a single significantly larger diamond? Is a 5 carat diamond worth twice the value of a 2.5 carat diamond?

Could the same be said of the value of a man? Would a bigger stronger larger man make for a better person? Could brawn be a significant determining factor of the value of a man?

Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes. Diamonds come in more than one color. Could the value of a diamond lie in the purity of its color? Is a diamond white and true the only one of great value?

What of colored fancies? Diamonds that come in colors as intense as the night. Diamonds bright and red as the early morning sky; or blue as the surface of the sea. Or one that is green as the leaves of the finest trees. Which would you say is worth more?

Perhaps the true value of a diamond is in the cut. A sculpted piece of stone holds within it more beauty and worth than a layer of earth. Take a piece of stone. Cut it into a fine design. Measure it. Bring symmetry and give life and rarity to a normal piece of stone. Create a masterpiece. Therein lies the worth of a diamond.

So, it takes the hand of a man to give a diamond its worth?

Every diamond is born of earth. Buried under layers of stone, created in the dark, away from the pryings eyes of man. And each, is as rare as it is beautiful. Man, has come to treasure that rarity above all.

It is the nature of every diamond to be unique. For within every diamond, lies inclusions that become a natural fingerprint that sets one diamond apart from another.

"Nature ensures that each diamond is as individual as the person who wears it." - http://www.adiamondisforever.com

Every diamond, is like a person.

How do you judge the value of a person?
