Diamond
A diamond is a naturally occurring gemstone made from pure carbon that is renowned for its exceptional hardness and brilliance. As the hardest natural material, diamonds are often used in engagement rings and other fine jewelry to symbolize strength and eternity. Diamonds come in a variety of shapes and colors, ranging from colorless to fancy hues such as pink, blue, and yellow.
Dispersion
Dispersion is the effect that occurs when light entering a diamond is separated into its component colors, creating a spectrum of colors. This is often referred to as a diamond’s fire. The more light that is dispersed, the more colorful flashes you will see when viewing the diamond under lighting. Dispersion contributes to a diamond’s overall sparkle and is a key quality factor for well-cut stones.
