Diamond trade and export from
India
As we discussed earlier in January 2009, global economic crisis had forced Gujarat’s multi-thousand crore diamond industry
out of gear. The gravity of problem can be understood from the fact that atleast
4 lakh workers employed in this industry were rendered jobless and around 2200
diamond units were closed. Gujarat state fulfils two third of the world's demand
for processed diamonds. In Gujarat the citties of Surat Amreli, Bhavnagar and
Ahmedabad are mainly responsible for diamonds business.

Stone Diamond Rings
There is a vast range of precious and semi precious stones that can be used
along with
diamonds to form a 3 stone diamond rings. One sapphire at center and two diamonds on sides with
is the hot selling product these days when crafted with platinum. Diamond may have 1/2 carat, 3/4 carat or 1 carat weight.
How
diamond stone is formed?
Earth can be divided into 3 parts: Crust,
mantle and core. Most of the diamond stones are formed in the mantle
of earth at the distance of 140 to 180 km beneath the earth surface. The dept
factor and molten lava provide the required pressure and heat to transform
carbon into its allotrope diamond stone.
The minimum pressure required to form a diamond stone is 435,113 psi and
minimum temperature required is 400 degree Celsius. If these conditions are
maintained for a millions of years, diamond stone is formed. If either of these two
conditions is not fulfilled, diamond stone is not formed. Such a high pressure results
in hardness and high density of diamond stone.
What
is clarity
of diamond
Since diamond is a naturally occurring
substance. It may include some impurities and structural defects (like
fractures) during its formation in the earth. These defects appear like cloud,
haze or spot. Clarity
is a measure of purity, flawlessness and clearness of diamond. Clarity is less if
imperfections (impurities) are bigger in size or more in number. Light colored
impurities are less easily visible, hence better than dark colored impurities.
If color of impurity is same as the color of diamond, visibility will be low.
What
is Diamond Carat (Diamond ct)
Please
do not confuse carat unit of diamond with carat (karat) unit of gold. Where as
carat of gold describes its purity, carat of diamond specifies its weight. Weight
of diamonds (and many other gems) is measured in units called carats. Carat has smaller unit called
point. One carat is equal to 100 points. So a diamond of 0.25 carat is equal to
25 points. Carat weight can easily be measured on diamond scale. A diamond
stone may weigh 0.25 carat, 0.50 carat, 0.75 carat, 1.00 carat. 1.25 carat, 1.50
carat... and so on. Carat is often written in abbreviation as ct.
Colors
of Diamonds
Diamond color is one of the 4
characteristics (4 c's) to be considered when evaluating a diamond. A
pure diamond crystal made up of flawless structure of carbon atoms is
color less and transparent. However, a variety of chemical impurities and
structural imperfections impart color to diamond. Infact, no
diamond is perfect in all respects. An object has color when it absorbs some
colors of the white light and reflects the other colors. When white light
enters a diamond crystal, impurities absorb some colors of the white light
and reflect back the remaining colors to our eyes.
Diamond
Cut, Ideal Diamond Cut
A raw diamond stone is cut into a
particular shape. It is then polished and finished to produce a final
diamond crystal. This whole process is called cutting a diamond. Originally,
raw diamonds found in nature have dull appearance, muddy and deformed
surface wrapped by sticky materials. By polishing and creating flat
surface, we unveil hidden beauty of the diamond stones.

characteristics of diamond that must be noticed while buying a diamond.

term. We try to explain what actually these two terms mean:
Hardness
of Diamond Stone
Diamond is the
hardest material known in the nature. Hardness is defined as resistance of a
material to scratching. It ranges between 1 and 10 on Mohs hardness scale. Where
as 1 is the softest, 10 is the hardest one. Diamond has hardness of 10, i.e.
H=10.
Electrical conductivity of
diamond
A good conductor of
electricity has free electrons to conduct electricity, i.e: small energy is
required to move an electron from its bonded condition in the atom to a mobile
condition. In diamond, no
electron cab be released from covalent bond to conduct electricity. Pure
diamonds do not conduct electricity. Hence they are used as electrical
insulators.
