Diamonds are the most famous gemstone in the world due to their use in jewelry. One only needs to take a quick look at the different designs in Mumit's online store and their diamond solitaire engagement rings to see how much this type of gemstone can add to a piece of jewelry.
But, could you tell us where diamonds come from? Below, we will enjoy the exciting journey of a diamond from its extraction to its placement in a piece of jewelry. Will you join us?
Where are diamonds found?
Diamonds are minerals composed of carbon atoms arranged in crystal form that are obtained through mining. Specifically, the mines where diamonds are most frequently extracted are in Russia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, countries with the highest production of this type of material. However, if we talk about reserves, we should add Botswana to the list.
Because of this, there is the Kimberley Process, which is a certification system that prevents diamonds from conflict zones from entering the market. All Mumit diamonds, in fact, comply with this protocol.
What is the diamond route?
The diamond route is known as the journey diamonds undertake from their extraction in African mines to their commercialization, mainly in European countries, with Belgium being predominant.
However, from a tourism perspective, there is another meaning for this term. In Japan, the Diamond Route refers to the itinerary that connects its capital, Tokyo, with the main attractions of the Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Tochigi prefectures. Why? Basically, because on a map, the lines that make up the route form the shape of a diamond on paper.
How are natural diamonds formed?
The process of natural diamond formation is truly special. This creation can take millions or even billions of years and occurs in the Earth's core, where heat and high pressures transform carbon into diamond. Subsequently, molten lava flows transport diamonds from the core to a few meters below the surface, where they are extracted using mining techniques.
