THE EARTH’S ELEMENTS TRANSFORMED
THE EARTH’S ELEMENTS
TRANSFORMED
Diamonds begin as carbon many
miles below the earth’s surface. Hundreds of millions of years
of heat and pressure transform the element into crystalline
gemstones before volcanic eruptions propel them to the
surface.

Although gem-quality stones are found in only a few places in the world, diamonds are everywhere in the universe—sometimes falling to earth as part of meteorites and interstellar dust. Ultimately their true origins remain a mystery of the cosmos.

The term “flaw” is often used to define these unique traits, and measure the diamond’s rarity. For our engagement rings, David Yurman only selects stones from the highest clarity grades—from IF (Internally Flawless) to SI1 (Slightly Included).
