Wedding Rings – It Came From Outer Space

The forces that create diamonds are vast and turbulent and these are two conditions that accurately describe our cosmos. As such, it isn’t altogether surprising to learn that out space is laden with meteorites that contain diamonds aplenty. When it comes to wedding rings, diamonds are definitely a girl’s best friend.
 

Wedding Rings – Meteorite Marriage

It is known that, on earth, the conditions required for the formation of diamonds is high temperatures and pressure deep inside the earth but, in space, quite the opposite applies. Diamonds tend to form in outer space in extremely low pressures and at temperatures approaching minus 4000 Fahrenheit. The diamonds that are created in outer space are unlikely to find themselves onto many wedding rings, however. The reason for this is that they are so small that many will not even be visible to the naked eye. According to a report on Discovery News, a number of meteorites that have hit the earth have, for each gram of cosmic cloud, over 100,000 trillion nanodiamonds. As such, the wedding rings may well need to be purchased from the jewellers for the time being.
 

Wedding Rings – Diamond’s Tell Tale Signs

Scientists have, with the assistance of the Hubble Telescope, discovered a means of discovering diamonds in outer space. Essentially, they use the bright light emitted from a background star to reveal the chemical fingerprints associated with diamonds’ tightly knit together carbon molecules. Whilst it is undoubtedly a romantic notion, the idea of wedding rings encrusted with diamonds from outer space is still some way off. Fortunately, however, planet earth creates spectacular diamonds of its own and wedding rings around the world will continue to benefit from these precious stones.
