Etymology

The term 'diamonding' derives from the word 'diamond,' which comes from the Old French 'diamant,' originating from the Latin 'adamantem,' meaning 'unbreakable' or 'invincible.' The diamond itself has been valued for its durability and brilliance for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations where it was believed to have mystical properties. The practice of setting diamonds into jewelry has evolved over time, with techniques and styles becoming more refined in various cultures. 'Diamonding' as a specific term likely emerged in the 20th century as the jewelry industry expanded and became more accessible, particularly with the rise of luxury goods. Today, 'diamonding' not only connotes the addition of diamonds but has also taken on a broader meaning in the context of artistic embellishments and designs involving other gemstones.
