Dil asked:


Please don’t give me that Kimberley Process garbage. In 2000 they said 4-5% of the market is blood diamonds when it was in actuality 15-20%. Today they say around 1%, and I still don’t believe. There is about $22 million dollars this year coming out of Congo alone.

I am looking at loose diamonds for a friends engangement ring. I keep coming accross listings for diamond parcels? Does that mean a group of diamonds or is it one stone?

Titanium alloy is known to be the strongest and lightest metal and diamonds are even stronger because of its atomical bond. Since we are capable of growing artificial diamonds in a lab is it possible to combine the two strongest material together known to man to form an even stronger material.
