Since ancient times, diamonds have been a dream, an ideal, and an image for everyone. However, due to their origins from different regions, eras, and cultural backgrounds, they carry specific meanings for each individual. For some people, diamonds symbolize power, wealth, status, achievement, and serenity, while for others, they represent love, eternity, purity, fidelity, bravery, and steadfastness. These diverse images are interwoven with religious myths, ancient scientific speculations, legends of diamond prospectors, and fabrications by merchants. Although complex, these images do not contradict one another. They were shaped by those who loved diamonds so much that they were willing to fight or even die for them. Throughout history, the brilliance and luster of diamonds have illuminated lovers' eyes, turned into deadly blades, served as conquerors' torches, and become the dim candlesticks of deposed tyrants.
