The Formation of Diamonds

Diamonds are formed over billions of years under immense heat and pressure, approximately 100 miles beneath the Earth’s surface. Composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth. This unique formation process makes each diamond a testament to nature’s extraordinary power.

Volcanic eruptions transport diamonds to the Earth’s surface, where they are discovered in kimberlite and lamproite pipes. The rarity of this process contributes to the high value and exclusivity of diamonds.
