Origin and Formation:
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth’s mantle under extreme pressure and temperature conditions over billions of years. They are created from carbon atoms — the same element found in pencil graphite — arranged in a crystal lattice structure, making them one of the hardest materials known to man.

Despite their popularity, natural diamonds are rare. Only about one in a million diamonds mined worldwide are of gemstone quality. This rarity adds to their value and allure.
