However, these types of diamonds are extremely expensive and highly valuable, and often found in the great museums of the world.

Diamonds are also occasionally laser drilled to help the shine of the stone look even better, and a foreign substance that is known to be like glass is often used to fill in any fractures or cavities. They can be easily irradiated or heated to induce those fancy colors of the more expensive diamonds, although they are not as valuable as those naturally colored gemstones.

It's one of the most durable of gemstones, and as such, it's the perfect solution for your birthstone ring; or other people’s rings if you are looking for birthstone rings for the mothers you know. You should make sure not to damage it with any blows, chemicals which can discolor it and even damage the mounting or its placement in the ring. You can clean it with a jewelry cleaner, soapy water, and small brush.
