How Diamonds Are Made

The diamond is the hardest natural mineral and has been used for centuries as a symbol of love, strength and power. It’s never going out of style because it stands not only for wealth but also loyalty which we all want in our friends!

A person could say that diamonds are everywhere these days due to their popularity with pop culture over time - from movies like Wall Street and Gangster Squad to music videos by artists such as Beyoncé, Drake and Lil Uzi Vert where you will see many expensive rings on fingers flexing up this gemstone.

The history of the diamond is as old as time itself – since it was first polished by humans more than 3 million years ago. And while we all know that rocks don't talk, these precious stones do have a story to tell us about what they are made from and how people have valued them for centuries now...

We all know diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but how do they get there? In this article we will explore the process of diamond creation. You'll come away with some knowledge on science that you can actually use and enjoy when talking about it with your friends or buying jewelry for yourself!

100 Miles Down Below

It's a long way down, but diamond producers have been making them for millennia. The process of diamond creation starts deep within the surface of our earth and extends all throughout its core--continuing on up to 100 miles beneath your feet!

It turns out that diamonds are older than you might have thought. They're usually only found deep within the earth's crust, but this pits them as being around for at least 1-3 billion years!

We know that the earth is ancient, so it makes sense to us. All of these scientific methods of dates are pretty accurate and with such a large range in total time periods for 2 billion years, there's no other option but take their word on this one!

The durability of diamonds is unparalleled, with anything over a billion years old better be pretty tough.

A High-Pressure Situation

The discovery of diamonds dates back to ancient times. They were formed deep below the surface of earth, and required specific conditions for their creation that have yet been discovered! What were the conditions required to create diamonds in the first place?

We might not know exactly what's happening in these deep parts of the earth, and we haven't yet developed a time machine to go back billions. But with enough information about our planet collected so far-I think it is safe say that there are some pretty interesting things going down below!

Here’s our best idea of what went down:

  • Temperatures reached above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure exceeded 725,000 pounds per square inch.
  • Graphite, a mineral famous for its role in making pencils took the brunt of this mantle. It was squeezed and pressurized to such an extent that it recrystallized into a new phase.
  • With each carbon atom gaining four strong covalent bonds, the molecule becomes more complex and difficult to break down.
  • When the hexagonal pattern of graphite is restructured into triangular crystals, it becomes basis for diamonds we know today.

The Earth is an incredible place. Not only does it have diamonds, but also heat and pressure that can transform humble stones into beautiful jewels!

There are many things in this world that we take for granted. When you rub two rocks together, it might only result to some heat and a few sparks fly into the air. Diamonds were created by billions of years worth pressure- multiplied with force time after countless occasions until finally creating what we have today. This is what it takes to make diamonds, and nature does it best.

With all the work that goes into a single carat, it's no wonder diamond prices are so high today. They're rare and beautiful with an intricately complex structure difficult to replicate even by advanced computers in this world!

The wonderful, yet mysterious power of nature is unparalleled when it comes to creating surreal geological shapes and structures that are beyond human imagination.

One-Way Ticket To The Top

When it comes to diamonds, we know that even after all that hard work is done they still need some help getting from deep within the earth's crusts up top so people can access them more easily. Nobody wants (or should) go 100 miles down!

When it comes to finding the perfect gem, nature has one up on us. Using systems of volcanic propulsion to bring these diamonds up. 

Nature does the heavy lifting for us once again, using systems of volcanic propulsion to bring these diamonds up.

The idea that diamonds come from space is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, some scientists believe they can be steamed up when meteorites smash into the earth and generate powerful chemical reactions on spot! Work typically took billions of years to complete but now gets done in super short timeframes - giving us gems made fast indeed...

Meteoric stones may not have the beauty of the diamonds from the deep, but they’re still in demand and do a fine job when set in a ring or bracelet.

Mining, Cutting, And Distribution

When it comes to the world’s biggest diamond mines, there is no shortage of them. Russia and Africa both have their own hefty collection that makes up for more than half this list! These operations tend not only be massive in size but also wealthy with top-of -the line equipment used during mining processes which can make your head spin at times if you're trying figure out how they get away with such sophistication.

The demand for diamonds at all-time highs has led to an increase in the depth and width of mines. Those pristine Diamond Chains have to come from somewhere.

Like most industries, the diamond industry has its shady past. But in recent years these companies have raised their ethical standards and are now more likely to offer an environmentally friendly seal of approval for stones sold on-market.

We all know that diamonds are forever, but some people want the next best thing. The good news? There are plenty of diamond alternatives for those, as we'll soon discover.

What About Stimulant Diamonds?

Learning about the origins of diamonds for the first time is a mind-blowing experience. What if you can achieve the same level of shine and glamour without digging into the earth or spending a ton of cash to attain your desired look? 

You'll never think of jewelry as just an expensive investment again!

If you're looking for a way to make your outfit pop, try stimulant diamonds. Not only will they add some bling and shine but also ensure that all eyes are on YOU! There's no shame in this game because these rocks don't come with any hidden risks or disappointments since there’s no threat of being misled or let down by retailers who may not have your best interests in mind.

On top of all that, there is an ethical advantage to stimulant diamonds. You can sleep better at night knowing your collection is filled with gemstone rings that haven’t had any negative impact on people or the planet.

The ethical, environmentally-friendly way to wear diamonds is with stimulant diamonds. They're better for all around fashion and personal style because you can get bigger pieces that would otherwise be unimaginable!

Jewelry is a great way to express your personal style and nobody will judge you for the cost of jewelry. What matters more, though are how the styles are worn, and the confidence it brings out within us!
