Diamonds - "A Girls Best Friend"

"Diamonds - A girl's best friend" - You must have heard this phrase or similar phrases a lot of times. Some jewelry makers/ sellers use this phrase in their advertisements too. However, have you ever wondered what actually a diamond is?

Well, in technical terms, a diamond is just an arrangement of carbon atoms; a peculiar arrangement for that matter. It's the same carbon atoms that form graphite too (which is used in your pencil leads). However, with diamonds the arrangement of carbon atoms is such that it imparts a glowing look to them. Diamond is generally found in mines as a shining rock (just like metals and other materials). However, it is not as shining as you see it in jewelry. In fact, if you were to look at diamond in their nascent form, you would be quite disappointed. This rock/diamond reveals its full glory only after it is cut and polished. It is only after this cutting and polishing that a diamond actually becomes fit for use in jewelry. Cutting the diamonds require a great deal of skill. In fact, the glow and the value of a diamond is dependent on how well it has been cut by the diamond cutting professional.

Another interesting fact about diamonds is that they are one of the hardest substances on earth. In fact, diamonds that are not glorious enough for use in jewelry are used in industries for cutting other metals/ materials. Besides being the hardest substance, diamonds are also one of the toughest substances on earth. In fact, diamonds are so tough that they are unaffected by scalding temperatures as high as 700 deg Celsius. Even acids are not able to cause any harm to diamonds. This might be the reason behind the saying "Diamonds are forever".

Thus diamonds represent solidarity and shine, and are indeed 'A girl's best friend'


Where Diamonds are Mined.....

Argye mine located in the Kimberley region in the far north east of Western Australia. Owned by Rio Tinto, this mine is the world's largest single producer of volume of diamonds. However, due to low proportion of gem quality diamonds it is not the value leader. It does produce 90-95% of the world's supply of pink diamonds.

Diavik is also owned by Rio Tinto, located in Canada it is a very large mine. It is located north of Yellowknife and south of the Artic Circle on an island. The island is connected by an ice road. It is also an important part of the regions economy employing more than 700 people and producing more than 8 million carats annually.

Ekati diamond mine is owned by BHP Billiton and located south of the artic circle in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The Ekati is Canada's first operational diamond mine. Diamonds mined here are sold under the Aurias trade name Authenticity is verified through Canada Mark service. CanadaMark service is also owned by BHP Billiton Diamonds, Inc.

How Diamonds are Mined.....

We seldom think about how the diamonds we wear came to us. Natural diamonds, as opposed to synthetic diamonds or fake diamonds, are mined from the earth. There are currently two methods of mining diamonds: Pipe Mining and Alluvial Mining.

When pipe mining is used, the diamonds are extracted from the earth through volcanic pipes. These are not man-made pipes. These are natural pipes in the ground. Shanks are put into the ground next to the pipes, and tunnels are driven into the deepest parts of the pipe. The diamonds are not sorted out at the mine. Instead, huge rocks that are full of diamonds are brought out of the mine and moved to a screening plant for separation.

The Alluvial mining method is done in riverbeds and on beaches. Walls are built to hold back the water and the sand on the bank or beach is moved with a bulldozer until the level of earth that diamonds can be found in is reached. Again, the diamonds are not sorted here. Instead, the sand that contains the diamonds is bulldozed into trucks, and taken to screening plants.
