Question

1. Chocolate diamonds are actually brown diamonds and, compared to the well –

known white diamond, they aren’t worth much. Diamonds are produced in

mines. The best-known diamond mines are in Australia. South Africa and Russia.

The largest diamond mine was discovered in 1976 in the desert of Australia near

a little Creek named Lake Argyle. Diamonds are created under very extreme

conditions of pressure and high temperature. It is a general misunderstanding

that there exist only white colourless diamonds exist in many different colours.

2. In all the diamond mines of the world, almost 80% of all diamonds produced are

brownish in colour. Because they were found in such large quantities compared

to the other coloured diamonds, they were considered as low- value diamonds,

only good for industrial sector. But a famous man called Le Vian came with a

marketing campaign to increase the popularity of the chocolate diamond. Instead

of calling it a brown diamond, he gave it popular names like caramel, chocolate,

cinnamon and cognac. Since his marketing campaign, chocolate diamonds are

becoming very popular.

3. The value of a diamond is based on its shape, brightness and colour. Because

white diamonds are rare, their value is based on the fact that there are not many

white diamonds around. But if you look at the shape and brightness, then the

brightest diamond in this world known to man is a brown diamond. Before the

development of the Argyle diamond mine Australia in 1986, most brown

diamonds were considered worthless for jewellery; they were even not assessed

on the diamond colour scale, and were predominantly used for industrial

purposes. However, marketing strategies changed in the 1980s and brown

diamonds have become popular gems. The change was mostly due to supply: The

Argyle mine, with its 35 million carats (7,000kg) of diamonds per year, makes

about one-third of global production of natural diamonds; 80% of Argyle

diamonds are brown. The percentage of brown diamonds is lower in other mines,

but it is almost always a significant part of the total production.
