Diamonds

Diamonds are the hardest occurring natural mineral. Millions of carats of diamonds are mined annually, and billions of dollars of diamonds are traded annually.

The name diamond derives from the ancient Greek ?d?µα? (adamas) "invincible", "untamed", from ?- (a-), "un-" + dαµ?? (damáo), "to overpower, to tame".

Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India for millennia, as long as 3000 years ago. 

A Little History

The De Beers Company, to this day, holds a dominant position in the industry, and has done so since soon after its founding in 1888 by the British imperialist Cecil Rhodes.

De Beers owns or controls a significant portion of the world's rough diamond production facilities (mines) and distribution channels for gem-quality diamonds. The company and its subsidiaries own mines that produce some 40 percent of annual world diamond production.

At one time it was thought over 80 percent of the world's rough diamonds passed through the Diamond Trading Company (DTC, a subsidiary of De Beers) in London, but presently the figure is estimated at less than 50 percent. 

Further Down the Supply Chain

Members of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) act as a medium for wholesale diamond exchange, trading both polished and rough diamonds. The WFDB consists of independent diamond bourses in major cutting centres such as Tel Aviv, Antwerp, Johannesburg and other cities across the USA, Europe and Asia (including Australia).

In 2000, the WFDB and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) established the World Diamond Council (WDC) to prevent the trading of diamonds used to fund war and inhumane acts.

The WFDB's additional activities also include the establishment of the International Diamond Council (IDC) to oversee diamond grading.
