Physical properties

Formation & geological history

A natural diamond forms deep in Earth’s mantle under high pressure and temperature, commonly billions of years ago, then reaches the surface in volcanic kimberlite or lamproite. The ring itself is human-crafted; its age and materials are unknown.

Uses & applications

Jewelry and personal adornment; gold and diamonds are also valued for investment and collecting.

Geological facts

The setting may be gold, gold-plated metal, or another alloy, and the center stone could be diamond or a simulant such as cubic zirconia or glass.

Field identification & locations

This is a geological specimen only if the center stone is natural or synthetic gemstone material; inspect gemological tests and metal hallmarks to identify it. A jeweler can determine stone identity and metal purity.
