In ancient times, diamonds came from India and Brahmans told Vedic tales of the god, Vela, stripped of flesh by demons. Vela's bones were then ground down, and spread out over the earth, where his fragments became diamonds.

This myth suggests that the diamond, the transformation of carbon under great pressure into a most refined, adamantine, sparkling essence, has a divine power that even today, seems to attract the best and worst in humanity.

When envisioning their makeup for their wedding day, many brides think about color, style, and application. While these are important considerations, the cosmetics themselves-their ingredients, packaging, and origins-are equally important, if not more so, to creating a beautiful, glowing bride.
