What is the difference between diamond chip and solid diamond?

A diamond chip is a small piece of diamond used in electronic components or cutting tools, whereas solid diamond refers to a single piece of diamond that is not fragmented or composed of smaller pieces. The main difference is that diamond chip is typically used in applications where a smaller piece is needed, while solid diamond is used for jewelry or industrial cutting purposes.


Can diamond crack?

Yes, a stone can crack along a flaw in its crystalline structure. ("In the crystal structure of diamond, each carbon atom is linked to four other, equidistant, carbon atoms" from Answers.com - Diamonds.) If a stone has been cut and polished, and the substantive flaw hidden by some enhancement or other, it's possible that the diamond could crack and split. Usually stones with flaws of this severity are not desirable. A certified gemologist can evaluate a diamond before you purchase it to identify any such flaws.


Is it possible to have a chipped diamond?

Yes. You can either buy a diamond chip already mounted in a piece of jewelery, or you can chip your diamond if it is exposed by improper setting in such a way that a blow can chip the stone at a weak spot in its lattice.


Is it possible to chip a real diamond?

Yes. If the stone has any imperfection, flaw or inclusion, that represents a weak bond in the structure of the diamond stone. If the setting doesn't protect the stone, and if the diamond is hit 'just right' with the exact amount of force and at the 'exact' angle necessary, the diamond can chip. Chipping a diamond is unusual, however, and doesn't occur very often. But it's one of the reasons for buying insurance on a diamond.


Can a diamond break or chip?

yes and no Not easily, it requires a great deal of force applied to a flaw in the diamond. Sometimes, however, if the diamond is flawed and it's hit 'just right', yes, the diamond can chip and become more than a single piece.
