Diamond Champagne

Diamond Champagne
  • Etymology : From Greek "adamas" = Invincibility. The name diamond was used for the first time by Pline in 100 BC.

The diamond champagne is very used in jewelry(jeweler's store), in the form of pavement, to emphasize a bigger stone

Its color is caused by a plastic distortion. It is a deformation in the crystalline structure of the diamond that is in the form of disturbance in the alignment of the atoms of carbon and which gives a shape "waved" in the structure instead of right.
