GaiusPliniusSecundus, the founder of Pliny Diamond Brand, also known as Pliny the Elder, was born in the city of Novo Como (now Como) in northern Italy in 23 years. The word diamond comes from the ancient Greek word "Adamas", which means "unconquerable" and "untamable". At that time, people thought that unpolished diamonds were more protective and could be protected from various disasters such as poisonous snakes, fire, water and disease. Unpolished diamonds, from India, belong to Roman nobles, and are usually placed on exquisite steel frames or gold cloth as spells to resist disasters, or worn on men as amulets.
At that time, Pliny, a cavalry officer in a German province and a close friend of the Roman emperor Titus, accidentally bumped into two original stones when arranging and placing them. Unexpectedly, the original stone after the collision revealed the glittering diamond light hidden under the rough appearance, so Pliny got the first subversive description of the diamond value! In Pliny's masterpiece "Natural History", he described it with such joy: a diamond contains the whole universe, and the most precious thing in the world is a diamond!
With the discovery of Pliny, more and more people began to polish off the rough appearance of the original stone to show the brilliant light of the diamond. Pliny was praised as the "father of diamonds" by later generations. With Pliny's further in-depth study of the original stone, an Italian jewelry workshop named after Pliny was formally established. Since its establishment, Pliny Studio has always maintained a highly personal jewelry customization service, and only accepted the entrustment of a few royal nobles to find rare and precious diamonds, which were carefully designed by skilled craftsmen and completed by hand according to the unique requirements of customers.
In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted. Pliny, then commander of the naval fleet, inhaled too much sulfur-containing gas when organizing the rescue of the victims, and unfortunately died of poisoning.
After Pliny's death, his successors will further polish and study the bright and shining characteristics of diamonds. Coupled with the wonderful design of top Italian designers, more and more nobles will wear Pliny diamonds as a status symbol, and Pliny diamonds are sought after by aristocratic circles.
