Diamond May 2026

Created in laboratory settings using techniques like High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) , which replicate the natural formation process. Industrial Applications

Because diamonds are the hardest known natural material (10 on the Mohs scale), they can only be polished using another diamond. The process of transforming a rough stone into a gem involves five steps: planning, cleaving/sawing, bruting, polishing, and final inspection. The 4 Cs of Quality DIAMOND

The absence of internal flaws (inclusions) or surface imperfections. DIAMOND

The value of a diamond is largely determined by the GIA grading system's 4 Cs: The weight of the diamond. DIAMOND

Diamonds are created about 150-200 km beneath the Earth's surface, where extreme pressure and high temperatures force carbon atoms into a stable crystal lattice.
