CLICK ON ANY  "ITALIC"  WORD FOR DEFINITION
when a Diamond crystal comes from the ground,
the BRILLIANCE, FIRE and SCINTILLATION that
create the exceptional beauty of a polished
diamond, are still locked within it.
The hand of a Highly Skilled Master Diamond Cutter
can unlock the inner Beauty by shaping the rough
Diamond "pebble" into it's familiar 58 facetted
DIAMOND   DESIGN.

Possible
