Symbolism of silver and diamond

Diamonds are traditionally symbols of love, excellence, clarity, opulent style and eternal brightness. Diamond is the birthstone for people born in April. Diamonds have been used since ancient times to adorn religious icons, crowns, swords and other items of spiritual or powerful significance. The Romans believed they were fragments of fallen stars. Also, diamond is the hardest natural substance known. So it is seen as sharpness and perfect clarity which is able to cut through illusion. Ancient beliefs have long held that wearing diamonds would confer mystical or supernatural powers. Unbeknown to most, the tradition of diamonds associated with marriage is ostensibly a 20th century marketing invention and not really an ancient tradition.

Silver can symbolize peace, tranquility, femininity and inner wisdom. Since ancient times it has been associated with the Moon and is one of the seven "planetary metals". The Incas were said to believe that the Moon shed tears made of silver. Silver is one the best electrical conductors of all metals and has also been used as a form of wealth since ancient times on account of both its beauty and scarcity. Silver has long been used in heraldic symbolism to denote nobility, serenity and purity.

In order to deduce the symbolism of diamond silver in combination - simply combine the qualities of diamond and silver.
