Diamonds are pure carbon so something else was caught in the stone during the formation of the diamond which changes the absorption spectrum. Though gold has been the primary metal used to make magnificent jewelry over the ages, wood, bones, shells, teeth, hair, and even the blood of the beloved have been used to fashion jewelry. These rings have little Claddagh designs between the words; the Claddagh symbol of hands holding a crowned heart is the symbol of love, loyalty and friendship.
