The “diamond" word comes from the Greek word, "adamas" which means unconquerable. The fact that diamonds are made up of pure carbon, and diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man. Diamonds have long been a sign of wealth and fortune. Queens and Kings have worn these forms of concentrated carbon and even more countless millions people over time have yearn after them. These gems can be in form of transparent, truculent white, yellow, green, blue, or brown. We must understand the real value of these stones, and ultimately their role in war, it helps to first understand their origins and where they come form.
Diamonds are the most often used form capital by the rebels in Angola, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo use to purchase weapons (also known as the blood diamonds or conflict diamonds). The earliest diamond gems were found in India and Borneo, were they were found in riverbeds. In the early eighteenth century, deposits similar to those in India were found in Brazil. The story of diamonds in Africa began between December 1866 and February 1867, when a 15-year-old found a transparent stone on his father's farm, on the south bank of the Orange River. Within the next fifteen years, African diamond mines produced more diamonds than the India, the previous leading producer, had in the last 2,000 years. This increase in production occurred at the same time as the diamond mines in Brazil experiences a sharp decline in their production. The depletion of mines in Brazil assured that supply would remain stable and diamond prices would not fall as they previously had when Brazil over produced in the 1730s.
As we have seen the World's Largest Diamond. We feature the world smalllest diamond ring.
Above:The picture of the world's smallest diamond ring, it measures 300 nanometers (billionths of a meter) thick and 5 microns (millionths of a meter) across. The diamond is not mounted on a ring, but the ring itself. Made by scientists at the University of Melbourne, carving out a circular structure in an artificially made diamond. It will be used to access single photons coming out of a tiny impurity region inside the diamond.
I would totally look for a local jeweler. You can buy the stone separately and bring it to the jeweler or buy from them. We bought a laboratory-diamond on the internet and took it to a friend's mom that does jewelry design on the side.
