Diamonds

Yes. While diamonds are high-priced commodities, and usually have gold, silver or platinum bands, the actual ring could be made of any suitably hard and durable material. Early jewelry was made from copper and bronze, and rings of stainless steel, nickel, or titanium alloys would function just as well.

Up to one hundred percent of every diamond is carbon, with trace amounts of other minerals that may give the diamond a colour.

In the strictest definition, chemically, diamonds do not effervesce -- give off gas. However, visually, one could describe a diamond as vivacious, which is another definition of the word you wrote.

The clarity of a chromatogram can be improved by optimizing the chromatographic conditions, such as adjusting the mobile phase composition or flow rate, using a column with better resolution, and ensuring proper sample preparation techniques. Additionally, improving the detector sensitivity and reducing background noise can also enhance the clarity of the chromatogram.

Diamond accents generally refer to small diamonds that are used to enhance the beauty of a piece of jewelry, but they are not the main focus. They are usually smaller in size and lower in quality compared to the main center diamond. It's essential to check the description and specifications of the piece to determine if the diamonds are genuine or simulated.

People use the glass test to check if a diamond is real because diamonds are harder than glass. If a diamond is real, it will scratch the glass, whereas a fake diamond will not leave a mark. This method is not foolproof and other tests are recommended for a more accurate assessment of a diamond's authenticity.

Boiling a diamond in grease will not harm the diamond itself, as diamonds are one of the hardest natural substances. However, the grease may become heated and bubble over, potentially causing a mess or fire hazard. It is not recommended to boil a diamond in grease.

You can melt a diamond, because anything can melt given enough heat. Diamond, however, has the highest melting point of any known mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3546.85 degrees Celsius.

To determine if your chocolate diamond is real, you can have it professionally appraised by a gemologist. They will be able to authenticate the diamond based on its unique characteristics such as color, clarity, and certification. Additionally, you can look for reputable sources that provide certificates of authenticity for chocolate diamonds.

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.

Every diamond is rated by its colour and clarity differently, along grades for each measurement.

Tiffany and Company will gladly provide you with certificates that detail the colour and clarity -- and carat weight and cut -- of any diamond you purchase from them.

Generally, a smelting operation to recover gold, would remove the gems before depositing the gold material into the furnace.

The disposition of the gems is determined by whomever owns them after they are removed from their settings.

The color scale for white diamonds runs from D to Z. On one end of the spectrum you have completely white without any traces of yellow and on the other end, a diamond fully saturated with yellow and no traces of whiteness. Due to the fact that they are quite common, they are actually quite affordable.

One of the easiest ways to tell if a diamond is fake is by conducting a fog test. Simply breathe on the diamond and observe how quickly it clears. A real diamond will disperse the fog quickly, while a fake diamond will hold the fog for a few seconds.

Yes. Diamond cuts through everything. In fact, diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth. (Diamond or laser can cut diamond.)

The question was 'why'... the answer is because it is the most compressed carbon based material.

If you suspect that the testing instrument is malfunctioning, contact the manufacturer to confirm the malfunction and follow their instructions to bring the instrument back to its intended veracity.

If the instrument that you're using to test a diamond doesn't give you the result you want, you can use another instrument to test the diamond.

You can also take the 'two out of three' approach, and use three different testers to confirm the substance being tested.

Nothing. Only other diamonds can cut diamonds.

Diamonds are one of the hardest naturally occurring materials, so they can only be scratched or cut by another diamond. However, because of their structure, diamonds can still be shattered or damaged by a hard blow, so it is important to handle them with care.

Raw stones are mined from the earth, separated from the surrounding material, sorted/ graded and then sold/ brokered to diamond buyers.

(Seventy-five percent of diamonds mined are employed in industry; only about 25% of mined diamonds are of gem quality.)

Diamond buyers/ brokers then move the gem-quality stones to cutting operations, where the raw stones are evaluated for colour and clarity. Plans are developed to highlight the colour and clarity of each individual stone while preserving the highest carat weight.

(About 60% of a raw stone's weight is lost in the cutting process.)

Then the stones are cut and polished, and sold to brokers/jewelers who mount the finished diamonds into jewelry.

Well, they are woth something, the specific answer being specific to the individual piece of jewelry. In general, larger diamonds are rarer and thus more valuable, so a cluster containing larger diamonds is generally worth more per carat than one with smaller diamonds, and not as much as one single diamond of that same weight. Diamonds really need to be over a carat in weight before they have a significant resale value. Most places that buy inexpensive clusters from the public will probably offer 100.00 a carat or less.

Diamonds are commonly used in jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and earrings due to their brilliance and durability. They are also used in industrial applications to cut and grind hard materials like metal and glass due to their exceptional hardness. Additionally, diamonds are being researched for potential applications in electronics and quantum computing due to their unique properties.

:improved:

depends on how the diamonds being used. A diamond can only be cut by another diamond, a diamonds weakness is fire. When you set a diamond on fire it's gonna burn up and what you're left with is a pile of carbon.

Diamonds sparkle colors due to their high refractive index, dispersion of light, and internal reflections. When light enters a diamond, it is bent and then dispersed into its spectral colors, creating a rainbow effect known as fire. The facets of the diamond also act as mirrors, reflecting light internally and enhancing the sparkle.
