For the longest of times, diamonds were merely looked at as valuable items that were even sometimes used as currency or for barter of other valuable items. However, its visual qualities were never under scrutiny, and with the advent of different kinds of jewelry diamonds were the most logical gemstones that began to be employed in such pieces.
