Pandora's annual Club charm features a sparkling diamond as a lasting tribute to our loyal fans.
Origin
The diamond is a crystalling mineral made of pure carbon and is created hundreds of kilometres beneath the Earth's surface under intense heat and pressure and carried to the surface by volcanic forces. Diamonds are found in many countries, from remote deserts to frozen tundra.
Name
From the Greek word "adamas," which means invincible, unconquerable, unbreakable, in reference to the diamond's extreme hardness
Processing
Multiple processes are required to transform a rough diamond into a jewellery stone. Rough diamonds are divided by sawing and then shaped in a process called bruting. Blocking and brillianteering facets the rough diamond, which is then polished to increase its reflectivity
Durability
Diamonds are at the top of the the Mohs scale, which is used to measure the hardness of minerals, and are rated a 10. Diamonds are the hardest substance known to man and has superior resistance to scratching and chemicals.
Care
Avoid rough handling and when not in use, store diamond jewellery separately to avoid scratches. Clean with lukewarm, soapy water and gentle brushing. Ultrasonic cleaners should be used with caution as they can damage heat-treated diamonds and diamonds with imperfections that can't be seen with the naked eye.
