Diamonds were first discovered in India over 1,000 years ago. They were referred to as “vajra” and “indrayudha” in Sanskrit, meaning thunderbolt and Indra’s weapon. Diamond rings sometimes have some flaws which are called inclusions. Thus these inclusions make the finish of the diamond rings of lower quality then the Cubic zirconia rings.
