White brings to mind purity, pearls, doves, etc. Passion brings to mind its color, red.

Within the diamond a nebulous cloud of red twists and turns in a miniature storm of intense fury (complete with arcing lightning bolts). It is the Staff of Cupid, a powerful artifact that can turn foe into friend, and friend into lover.
