get their hues from trace elements that interact with their carbon atoms during their formation. Nitrogen atoms will give you yellow or brown diamonds, while boron gives you blue ones, for example.

According to Reynolds, one high jewellery collection can take several years and thousands of hours to complete, from the ideation to the final launch. But that’s a drop in the ocean compared to the epochs it took for the stones to form and come to the surface — a fact that Reynolds never fails to marvel over.
