Raw diamonds: Beauty hidden in nature
In recent years, more and more people have been seeking authenticity. As a result, uncut diamonds are increasingly finding their way to lovers of original jewellery. The only difference between these luxurious gemstones and classic diamonds is that they have not undergone any treatment since their discovery. Each rough diamond is therefore unique and can easily enhance a person's individuality. Discover with us what rough diamonds can do for you! You've probably heard of traditional diamonds, the strongest of all minerals. They are formed beneath the Earth's crust by a combination of high pressure and temperature. Rough diamonds are in their most natural form. Without any cutting, polishing or other treatment. These stones retain their original shape, surface and texture. They can have irregular shapes, a dull lustre or interesting crystal structures. And although natural diamonds are most often white, they come in many other colour variations. The jewellery industry used rough diamonds almost exclusively until the 15th century, when people discovered how to work this precious gemstone. For a long time, only polished and cut diamonds were considered the height of luxury. But as the desire for uniqueness grew, rough diamonds began to regain their popularity in society. Each rough diamond is an original with an extraordinary character. At the same time, it can be difficult to distinguish a rough diamond from other clear minerals at first glance. It is always best to ask for a certificate of authenticity when buying.

History and origin of diamonds?
The first references to diamonds date back more than two thousand years. These records were found in a tax book where diamonds were mentioned as part of common transactions. The first diamonds were found in the Golconda River in India. And in the Czech Republic, diamonds were first discovered in the Bohemian Central Highlands in 1869.
Today, significant deposits are found in Namibia, Angola, Australia, Russia, Canada and other countries.
Symbolism and impact of rough diamonds
Diamonds in general, whether rough or cut, are seen as a symbol of purity, durability and strength. The unique natural shapes give the gems an authenticity that symbolises acceptance of the idea that beauty can be imperfect. Diamonds are said to help people live in harmony, rid them of anger and attract wealth.
In the Middle Ages, diamonds were used for healing and were thought to help with nausea, mental illness and tiredness. People also believed that diamonds made them invincible. And the tradition was that the owners of this precious stone were innocent.

Caring for designer jewellery where a raw diamond sparkles?
Rough diamonds naturally have the same hardness as treated ones. With a grade of 10, they are at the very top of the Mohs scale. This makes diamond jewellery very durable and also suitable for everyday wear. But don't forget to take care of your jewellery. There is a simple way to clean jewellery at home. Just rinse them under not too hot or too cold water, wash them lightly with mild detergent and finally polish them. Once every six months, you can then have your jewellery professionally cleaned for free in our jewellery shop. Think also that jewellery does not have to undergo all situations with you – simply leave it in the jewellery box before exercising, working in the garden or swimming.
