Diamonds in the workplace

Usually when we think of diamonds, we have thoughts of glamourous people, gems we have admired on other people, or maybe our own wedding set.

Diamonds do seem to be the universally preferred gemstone and are often thought to be the most valuable of gemstones, but this is not necessarily so. Other gemstones such as emeralds and rubies can have a far greater value.

Diamonds are a very versatile mineral and have the distinction of being the hardest chemical substance on earth. And though they are often the preferred gemstone, many that are mined will never find their place as an adornment in jewelry.
