When something is born in the darkness deep underground, something that you might describe as hard and cold and ancient, it might seem paradoxical for that thing to be an object of beauty and desire. But label that thing a diamond and it all makes sense. A diamond may be a billion years old and spewed up from the earth by a burning gurgle of volcanic liquid, but if there’s one permanant reminder that beauty is found in unexpected places, it’s the sparkling diamond that’s pulled from a lump of coal.
