A fancy pink diamond of 19 carats, previously owned by the Oppenheimer family, known as the Pink Legacy diamond, was sold to Harry Winston for 50.4 million Swiss francs this Nov. in Geneva.
The word diamond derives from the Greek word ‘adamas’ meaning indomitable and invincible. Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man. They are 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on Earth. A ring has the symbolism of life and eternity and was first used in Roman times as a public pledge of marriage between a couple. These were later adorned with diamonds because of their own remarkable significance. The role of the diamond has today entered new dimensions. But it still retains its unique significance as a symbol of commitment.
Well, money cannot buy love and love cannot buy money, but money increases the chances of love and love decreases the need for money.
But for sure this pink beauty will certainly be someone’s best friend…
