Mel L asked:


I am interested in a reputable diamond dealer that I can get a good deal from. Also, is it possible to find a certified Canadian-mined diamond in a local diamond store? (Canadian-mined diamonds are not blood diamonds.)

What happens to shards from diamonds that have been cut down to shape for jewelry?

jamoncita asked:


When diamonds are found, they are basically hunks of rock - in their shape, at least. Most of the time, they are cut down and shaped “just so” for jewelry. Well…what the heck happens to the unusable little chunks and pieces that have been cut off? Are they thrown away? What can they possibly be used for?

Grace C asked:


What is that small tool that those diamond ring makers use to inspect diamonds and make rings, etc? Its like a mini scope that people use to look at its flaws, details, etc. Many diamond ring stores have them. What are they called?
