White Gold Diamond Jewelry That Passes The Tests Of Time

In reference to durability: durability is a gemstone's ability to withstand wear, heat, and chemicals. Depending on the chemical composition and structure, durability qualities will vary from gem to gem. One of the end results of the diamond formation process is its incredible durability!

Diamond durability consists of three properties:

• Hardness
• Toughness
• Stability

Many people may think hardness and toughness are the same thing. In everyday speech, they're often interchangeable. But in gemology, they have very specific and separate meanings. For your convenience, we have described the three durability qualities:

• Hardness refers to the gems' resistance to scratching - how a stone's surface responds to contact with a sharp point, to the edge of another object, to abrasive powders, or to another gem.
• Toughness refers to the gems' resistance to breaking, chipping, or cracking - how well a stone can survive impact from a fall or blow.
• Stability is a term that describes how well a diamond resists temperature changes and chemicals. Diamonds are very stable and will burn at about 1562 degrees Fahrenheit (850 degrees Centigrade).
