Diamonds were initially found in India and for quite some time, remained as the only source of gemstones until it had been discovered in Brazil. The Romans used them since they believed that it could ward of the evil influences; however in China, a country where they did not find any diamond, used these not for jewelry purposes instead as a “jade cutting knife”. Diamonds from India were sent to many parts of the world, slowly the depletion of diamond resources began, leading to the search for the same in other parts of the world. This led to the discovery of diamonds in South Africa, which is now currently the largest diamond producer in the world. Diamond jewelry is so much in demand through the world.

In India about 92% of the world’s diamonds are cut and polished. Belgium and Antwerp are the two places where they are traded and are known as the diamond centers of the World. Around 50% of cut diamonds, 40% of industrial diamonds and 85% of world’s rough diamonds are traded in the diamond centers of the world. They are very popular among women, and it has been come to notice that women are not just fond of it, but they would actually die to have one. It’s the best gift that a man can think of, if he wants to win a lady’s heart. Diamond wedding rings are top most in demand for wedding occasions.

In the 21st century, new technologies were developed so as to perfect this precious stone synthetically. These are visually identical to the naturally occurring stones that are found in the mines. Taking this into notice, the traditional diamond industry has taken an initiative to differentiate the diamonds that are naturally found in the mines and the diamonds that are made in factories. In today’s world they are used either for industrial applications or to make jewelry for both men and women. For women, it is everything; the most desired of all. It’s said that, if you wish to win a woman’s heart, gift her diamond bracelets or may be a diamond ring, and you could be rest assured that she’ll be yours and yours alone forever.
