Diamond is the hardest natural element know to man. Even if we know harder materials, they are man made. The diamond is the hardest and the most durable gemstone of all. Yet the list I mentioned above reveals some of the most beautiful gems known to men throught out history, and keeping in mind their long-lasting characteristic and their rarity I think we should stick to wearing gemstones.
