Elton John wrote in his lyrics to The Circle of Life that "it's the band of hope.... till we find our place in the path unwinding... ." Mr. John used one of our most basic and reoccurring symbols, to put his message into song, but really just re-emphazied what this simple geometric symbol has meant to all cultures throughout history. The circle is at its roots simply one of natures most common designs. Ancient cultures saw great symbolism in it and used it as the basis for great sites of worship, such as Stonehenge or the Pantheon in Rome. Well the circle also obviously makes one dynamite basis for jewelry design and our Diamond Circle Of Life Necklace can beautifully serve as your "band of hope". It is 1.00 carat of 36 natural white diamonds set in a 14K white gold setting. The diamonds are S1 color and G-H clarity. The necklace hangs on an 18" chain with a safety clasp.
