A diamond is a stone that truly states, "I love you" in a deep way. In fact, you've probably heard the slogan many times that "a diamond is forever". This is because of the stone's symbol of deep, everlasting love, as well as the fact that it's the hardest substance known on earth. Giving a diamond as an engagement ring did not actually become a standard until the De Beers marketing campaign started, during the 20th century. Diamonds have many positive mystical attributes and healing properties. The diamond is associated with activating the seventh chakra, Sahasrara, uniting the mind with the body. Throughout time, diamonds have been thought to improve the wearer's life in many ways, specifically by bringing clarity (perhaps related to the clarity of the stone itself) into the wearer's mind and life. This clarity presents clear, positive resolutions to all problems.
