Diamonds in Demand

Diamonds are in high demand from scientists and engineers who see a world of possibilities.

Companies like Apollo diamonds have started "virtual diamond mines" using lab grown gemstones that are almost indistinguishable from the real deal.

The diamond producing technique was developed by Robert Linares, working with a collaborator who became co-founder of Apollo. The diamond growing production rooms are long halls filled with refrigerator size chambers bristling with tubes and gauges. In just a few weeks the lab grown diamonds will be half carats.

A little history - in 1796 chemist Smithson Tennant discovered that diamond is made out of carbon. But only since the 1950s have scientists managed to produce diamonds, forging them out of graphite subjected to temperatures as high as 2,550 degres and pressures 55,000 times greater than that of the earth's atmosphere.

The diamonds coming out of Apollo are now so perfect Jewellers are unable to tell they are lab created.

Cat Diamonds

A BRISTISH women has turned her dead pet into a black one-third-of-a-carat diamond with the help of a US firm.

The diamond was set into a gold ring so the cat could stay with the women, Sue Rogers forever.

Costing a staggering 2000 pounds the US firm, LifeGem took the cat's ashes and created the diamond by extracting 2 grams of carbon from the 100 grams of ashes.

The carbon was placed in a diamond press where it was exposed to temperatures of 3000 degress and placed under one million pounds of pressure for two weeks.

The elderly women wanted the diamond to match Sooty's jet-black colour so the company had to create a new technique to accomplish it.

Once the diamond has grown the gem was placed under electrons for 24 hours, which changed the colour from clear to black.

The result was a stunning sight, a diamond cut and polished set in a gold band and surrounded by white diamonds to look like a flower.

"When Sooty died I was shocked because she was only 11-years-old and hadn't been ill or anything. It just happened very suddenly, Telegraph quoted Sue, as saying.

Diamonds are at home in Australia

AUSTRALIA is home to the world's oldest diamonds according to Australian and German scientists.

The diamonds were discovered trapped inside zircon crystals from the Jack Hills area, about 900 kilometres north of Perth.

Scientists believe they are about 1 billion years older than any found in terrestrial rock.

In a journal entry in Nature scientists wrote, "the diamonds introduce a new dimension to the debate on the origin of these zircons and the evolution of the early Earth."

This finding supports theories that the earth was in fact cooler, like Earth today around 4.4 billion years ago. But not all agree.

So diamonds really are forever it seems. Find your perfect diamond on Tataza Diamonds.

Diamonds in the Sky!

In my on going hunt for Diamonds I stumbled across an article from a few years back which I wanted to share with everyone that reads my diamond blog.

The article is from 2004 and appeared in the Melbourne Age Newspaper.

Astronomers have found a diamond in the sky - and no they haven't been listening to the Beatles too much. The star, directly above Australia is the biggest known diamond in the Universe.

According to American astronomers a white dwarf star in the constellation of Centaurus, next to the Southern Cross, has been found to have a 3000-kilometre-wide core of crystallised carbon, or diamond.

It weighs 2.27 thousand trillion tonnes - that's 10 billion trillion trillion carats ladies! In comparison the biggest jewel on earth is a British crown jewel, the 530-carat Star of Africa.

This cosmic jewel is hidden beneath a layer of hydrogen and helium gases, with the diamond core making up between 90 per cent of its mass. "It's the mother of all diamonds," said astronomer Travis Metcalfe, who leads the team of researchers studying the star.

Maybe you can't buy her the biggest diamond in the universe, but to browse through some quality wholesale loose diamonds visit Tataza Diamonds.

The Bigger the Diamond the Better? American's think so..

MODERN celebrity engagement trends reveal the bigger the engagement diamond the better. Mariah Carey's engagement ring is so large it could sink a battleship. But is all the fuss about size really an issue for women? Tataza Diamonds investigated.

Meet Michael and Sarah, they are a recently engaged Sydney couple who are happily in love. When Michael proposed to Sarah he had no idea about diamonds, "I didn't know anything about diamonds, in my eyes the bigger the diamond the better, I really wasn't educated."

All of that changed when Michael began researching engagement diamond rings on the internet.

"It was remarkable - the amount of information out there, it can be confusing and daunting. It was the research that changed my mind about what the perfect ring for Sarah was."

Sarah says she had always pictured a well cut diamond on a modern ring design.

"I didn't want bling, I wanted a nice diamond ring that represented our relationship , the ring Michael chose was perfect."

Michael shopped around and eventually purchased a wholesale diamond online.

"After all of my research I realised it was much more affordable to buy a wholesale diamond online and have a jeweller design a perfect ring. I really considered the cut and clarity of the diamond, that was important to me - I decided higher quality was defiantly better then size."

Sarah agrees, she thinks her ring is just perfect, "Diamond size isn't an issue, I think it is definitely the importance of the design and the quality of the diamond, I want my engagement ring to last forever so it can be passed on in our family."

You can buy wholesale diamonds online and research the perfect diamond at Tataza Diamonds.

Considering buying a diamond online? You're not the only one..

A decade ago consumers would have never considered buying diamonds online says Lesley Harris, Director of Marketing of Whiteflash Diamonds. In the early days the internet was seen as a revolutionary way to buy small-ticket items, but most would have not dared to buy something as financially significant as a wholesale diamond.

Today, more and more people are turning to trustworthy e-commerce web sites to make substantial, multi-thousand-dollar purchases with complete confidence.

Convenience and increased variety have always been primary attractions for the internet consumer. Traditional shop front hours often don't fit into today's demanding schedules, and local jewellers often cannot stock the wide selection platinum rings and princess cut diamonds or round brilliant diamonds online.

What has led to this transformation? Lesley Harris explains. "More wealthy people are becoming comfortable making large diamond and jewellery purchases from trustworthy e-tailers due to the transparency in both pricing and offerings. Savvy customers can educate themselves through online research to compare price, selection, and vendor policies."

In Australian web sites such as www.tatazadiamonds.com.au are seeing this level of increased consumer confidence. Tataza reports consumers are attracted to buying high-value items online to make markable savings.

"Our customers are attracted to the quality of our diamonds, the convenience of buying online and our customer service - we are only a phone call or click away."
