Natural diamonds are the classic stone everyone knows and loves. Often used as a symbol of everlasting love in engagement rings, natural diamonds are popular in all types of jewelry. While diamonds have a history and reputation of being top-choice, there are a lot of things to consider when choosing a stone for your jewelry.

Is a natural diamond right for you? You may be deciding if you want to go with a natural diamond, a similar alternative, or a colorful gemstone. While you can never go wrong with diamonds, we understand it can be a loaded decision. Below, we compiled everything you need to know when deciding if natural diamonds are right for you.

What Is a Natural Diamond?

A natural diamond is the miraculous result of billions of carbon atoms pressurized by the earth’s crust. They are brought to the earth’s surface by volcanic eruptions, then mined, cut, and polished. At Shane Co., all of our conflict-free diamonds are ethically sourced from communities that benefit from the industry.

Diamonds are also the hardest naturally occurring substance found on the planet. They have been used throughout history in jewelry, most notably in the past century for engagement rings.

Benefits of Natural Diamonds

Natural diamonds provide undeniable value. As a finite resource, natural diamonds are highly prized and the best-quality ones are greatly sought after. They serve as an excellent investment and family heirloom that can be passed down for generations. Buying natural diamonds also supports local economies.
