What are diamonds used for?
Diamonds have two main uses: in Jewellery (due to their rarity and beautiful appearance) and in industry (due to their unique molecular properties). In terms of quantity, about 30% of natural mined diamonds are of gem quality and are distributed to experts for cutting, polishing and Jewellery manufacture. The remaining 70% of diamonds are sold for industrial applications including cutting, drilling, grinding and polishing in industrial applications.
