As they say, "Diamonds are forever."
That's what they say, anyway, but chemically it's not remotely true.
Diamonds are just a covalent network of carbon atoms and occasional impurities. Those covalent bonds are fairly easily broken in a combustion reaction at a high enough temperature.
That's why I tried to convince my wife that cubic zirconia was the fare more durable, stable, long-lasting choice to show the permanence of our love.
She wanted a diamond, though.
