This is a very important addition to the site to clear up a very common misconception about diamonds! Let''s hope it results in more people insuring their rings! Thanks, Neil!

Great article Niel,

BTW sapphore and ruby are about 1/3rd of the hardness of diamond.
Cant remeber the source of this.

My favourite analogy is glass scratches steel but stell smashes diamond

Thank you for posting this article. Also, I wanted to know if anybody can confirm or refute the fact that diamonds will evaporate? I had a professor in college who told us stories about how diamonds "disappeared" in fires, but in reality the carbon lost the cubic structure making the carbon a diamond.

Thanks again.
