Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon, the reason for it's strength is pyramid-like structure is that of the strongest structures known to man, this therefore means it can be used for jewellery because the jewell itself cannot be broke or crushed and tipping a workman's tools because it can cut or grind through any metal without breaking. Diamond's structure disables itself to conduct electricity because all it's electrons are delocalised meaning they have no 'spare' electrons to pass electricity through it's structure...
