Diamonds are used in the jewelry industry. We see this all the time, and in any public place where women are about, many wear diamond rings. But gems are the minor use of the diamond. Most diamonds are used in cutting and abrasive operations. Industry depends on them. Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance, and it is used to cut and grind metals, stone, ceramics and other very hard things. This "Behind the Scenes" use of this amazing mineral is lumped under the heading industrial diamonds.

As in many places around the world they are used as gems in jewelry and similar decorations. Diamonds are also used in drill bits because diamond is the hardest known substance, meaning that the only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond.

Diamonds are used to make many things. They are very decorative and can be used in all sorts of jewelry. The hardness of diamonds allows them to cut most other materials, so diamond dust is used to make grinders and cutting tools. They can also be used as pivot points for watches and other precision devices.

Diamond is extremely hard, so it is used in high pressure and high abrasion applications to provide wear resistance. The majority of these processes are under the construction umbrella. Some examples of the uses in construction are:

-Drill bits

-Cutting discs

-Grinding wheels (angle grinders)

-Whetstones, or tools for grinding sharp objects such as knives and chisels.

How rare are Yellow Diamonds compared to White Diamonds?

yellow diamonds are just very flawed white diamonds, they are extremely common compared to colorless (white) diamonds and are used for tool and other things because the jewelry world sees them as "ugly" or "useless" but like all things sometimes someone likes yellow diamonds and request for one but those are rare, isolated cases.


How can diamonds be made artificially. How do synthetic diamonds differ from natural cost?

Diamonds are made artificially by simulating the conditions deep in the mantle where natural diamonds are formed: very high pressure and very high temperature. Any source of carbon can be used (I saw a documentary on making diamonds once where they used peanut butter to provide the carbon). Synthetic diamonds will always be less expensive than natural diamonds, therefore the jewelry business now requires natural diamonds that have been cut to have LASER etched identification codes to prove authenticity. This only became necessary after techniques were perfected to reliably get colorless synthetic diamonds.
