De Beers Presents: The Age of Natural Diamonds
The Age of Natural Diamonds
Natural diamonds – one of the oldest things you could ever touch – can be as old as 3.5 billion years. But what does that really mean? To find out, we built a timeline stretching across several kilometers to help us see this immense span of time — which runs from the modern day all the way back to the first sparks of life on our planet. In this film, you’ll discover:
- How diamonds formed billions of years ago
- What they’ve witnessed — from the origins of life on Earth to the fall of dinosaurs
- How something so ancient has become a symbol of love, devotion, and resilience today
From deep underground to the most meaningful moments in our lives, this is the extraordinary story of a diamond — one of the oldest things most of us will ever hold in our hands.
