Diamonds are used in the tips of drills and cutting equipment because diamond is that hardest mineral known. Seventy-five percent of all diamonds mined fit in this category of use.
Diamonds are also used in jewellery such as diamond rings and diamond necklaces ,because they are very shiny (due to the way their surfaces are cut) and expensive, because only 25% of diamonds mined are gem-stone quality.
