Diamond History
Diamond history varies greatly depending on your source of
documentation, as diamond history is as rich in myths and
folklore as it is in physical facts and records. Diamond
history is one filled with mythical stories, such as one
where snakes guarded a land full of diamonds, and the
history has fascinated people with the romance and beauty
that surrounds our most precious gemstones; diamonds.
Early Diamond History
Around 3,000 years ago, in the country of India, the first
ever diamond history was recorded. If diamonds had been
found prior to this period of time, we have no written
record of it Diamonds in this day and age were used for two
main purposes, and is quite different from why we still love
diamonds today. Diamonds stood as a talisman in order to
fend off evil spirits, and to provide protection during
battles, and they were also valued because of their ability
to reflect the light.
Dark Ages of Diamond History
It is during the dark ages that the diamond history moved
into having some sort of medical purpose. St Hildegarde was
said to have written an anecdote to heal wounds and cure
illnesses that instructed the sick to hold a diamond in
their hand and make the sign of the cross. Some people in
diamond history went as far as swallowing diamonds, hoping
it would cure their illnesses magically.
Middle Ages of Diamond History
It was during the middle ages that diamonds began to gain
popularity. It is this point in diamond history that many of
the famous diamonds were discovered, including the Blue
Hope, and the mountain of light, both found in India. In our
current times, India remains the worlds finest polishers of
diamonds.
The middle ages also saw a shift in diamond history- where
previously diamonds were valued based on their mythical
powers, they began to be valued more for their overall
worth. As more people learned of the incredible value of
diamonds, mine owners began circulating stories that
diamonds were poisonous, to prevent the workers from
swallowing diamonds as a means to smuggle them out of the
mines undetected.
Also during this period of diamond history, people wanted
diamonds more than any other time period previously, mostly
because they recognized their power and worth. India's
diamond supply was dwindling and was unable to meet demands
of diamond buyers. South Africa's find of diamonds near the
Orange River began the world's largest diamond rush of
diamond history, and helped satisfy the demands of those
wanting diamonds for themselves.
More Recently
Diamond history began to spread into eastern Australia
sometime during the middle of the nineteenth century. During
the late 1970's, Australia as a diamond producer became
validated. Also in the late 1970's, 1979 to be exact, the
Argyle pipe near Lake Argyle was discovered by geologists.
Since that day, Argyle has become the absolute largest
producer of diamonds in all the world and throughout diamond
history, and produces over one third of the diamond volume
each year.

machine is called the Diamond in the upcoming scientific
facility, “Diamond Light Source”. Diamond Aircraft
Industries Inc. is a very popular name in flying segment.
India has got a train named as Black Diamond Express. Plenty
of such examples are observed all over the world.
People have referred to diamond as splinters of stars,
falling onto earth. Sometimes the ancient group used to
believe that tears of God rolling down to the earth are
concentrated to form diamonds. The Hindu myth demands
diamond's origin as the bones of a very pure and courageous
sacrificial.
The ancient history shows that the kings used to wear
diamonds. It is said that medieval knights wore diamonds to
make them unconquerable. Diamond had become a legendry in
the case of digging out the guilt from the rogues and
driving out the devils.
Diamond is referred as the king gem. Diamond is a symbol of
strength, courage, wealth, power, purity, and innocence.
History reveals that King Louis XIV used diamonds in his
court. In 1477, Maxmillian gifted a diamond ring to Mary,
and this has started the era, when diamond ring has been
renamed as an engagement ring, becoming synonymous to the
symbol of love and steadfastness. The strength of chemical
bonding of diamond is supposed to strengthen the emotional
bonding for couples. The myth is the more you spend on this
gemstone increases the bondage proportionately, which may be
rephrased as, the larger the size of the diamond, the more
dedication and love.
The myth regarding the “Hope Diamond” to be sank into the
ocean with Titanic is not correct. A careful study shows
that the wearer of the Hope Diamond, Eva Lyn Walsh McLean
had cancelled her trip at the last moment.
