What is the total amount of diamonds ever mined?
I heard on NPR last year that the total amount of all the gold ever mined would fill two Olympic swimming pools. But I bet this answer will be much harder to find for diamonds. Diamonds are most likely not as rare as they are purported to be. They are used industrially on a much wider scale than industrial uses of gold.
Did they ever place diamonds or precious stones in a sterling silver setting?
Sure. In the past people would not see diamonds set in silver or turquoise in gold. Now you see both, though not very common. Turquoise has been found in silver in the South West, thus associated with silver. Sterling Silver is a bit soft for setting diamonds, thus the setting either has to have some gold in it, or copper or be very heavy ( the prongs) of something to make up for the softness of the sterling. Thus the exact same style that you see done in gold could not be done in sterling . That does not exclude the combination though
