About Diamond
Diamond is made almost entirely of carbon (about 99.95 percent), which makes it the only gem made of a single element. Trace elements can affect its colour, so diamonds also occur in colours such as yellow and blue.
Birthstone
April
Hardness
10 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Diamond is the hardest gem and resists scratching, but a sharp knock in the wrong direction can still chip or split it, which is why pointed corners are often protected by prongs.
Care
At home, clean with a soft lint-free cloth, a jewellery cleaning solution or a mild household detergent. Avoid abrasive powdered cleaners, and leave ultrasonic and steam cleaning to a jeweller, who will first check that the stones are secure.
Meaning and tradition
The name comes from the Greek 'adamas', meaning invincible or unbreakable, and diamond is traditionally associated with clarity, resilience and lasting love. Some people believe it brings strength, beauty and happiness, and it is the traditional gift for 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries.
About Opal
Opal forms from silica left behind in rock by evaporating water. Precious opal shows flashes of rainbow colour ('play-of-colour') because it is made of tiny stacked spheres that split light into spectral colours.
Birthstone
October
Hardness
5–6.5 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Opal is soft with very poor to fair toughness, so it scratches easily and is best in earrings and pendants, or in rings with a protective setting and occasional wear.
Care
Warm, soapy water is the only safe way to clean opal. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, high heat, sudden temperature changes and strong light.
Meaning and tradition
The Romans saw opal as a symbol of love and hope, and in European tradition it stood for hope, purity and truth; because it shows every colour, it was long regarded as the luckiest gem. The idea that opal is unlucky comes from a 19th-century novel, not ancient belief, and opal is the gem for 14th wedding anniversaries.
