Surat's long-awaited bourse will be the world's largest office building, with nine 11-story towers and covering a site larger than The Pentagon in the USA. Surat has long been the capital of diamond manufacturing, handling over 90 per cent of all the world's gems, but the trade has been centered in Mumbai, a five-hour drive away. SDB will challenge the dominance of Mumbai's Bharat Diamond Bourse currently the world's largest diamond bourse and home to around 2,500 traders. Th...e allocation of office space is to begin in February. "It is going to be a win-win situation for the diamantaires in Surat," SDB spokesman Mathur Savani told the Times of India newspaper. "From the manufacturing hub, Surat will become the diamond trading hub of the world." SOURCE: IDEX

Visitors to the USA's only active diamond mine recovered over 80 carats last year. The Crater of Diamonds State Park, near Murfreesboro, in Arkansas, charges day trippers $10 a day to sift the soil - and lets them keep any gems they find. It says 2020 was a record-breaking year, despite an enforced closure form March to May because of coronavirus.... The largest find was a 9.07-carat diamond, found by visitor Kevin Kinard on a Labor Day trip with pals. Among the other gems recovered last year were a rectangular 6.39-carat white diamond, another white diamond weighing 2.73-carat, and a 4.49-carat yellow gem. Altogether guests registered 353 diamonds in 2020, weighing a total of 81.91 carats. Most of the diamonds were white - 269 - and there were 43 brown and 41 yellow. The average diamond weight was just under one-quarter carat, but 17 diamonds weighed more than one carat each. Visitors found 26 diamonds on top of the ground. Source: IDEX Online

Another traditional round brilliant about to be transformed to a Sirius Star...the world's brightest diamond.

One of the first diamonds to be discovered was an estimated 3000 years ago in India. But, it was only until the 11th century that diamonds were transformed into beautiful faceted gemstones. The first time diamonds were used as jewellery creations was when the Hungarian queen’s crown was filled with a wide selection of them. In 1477 Mary of Burgundy was given the first diamond engagement ring from the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. This started the lifelong tradition of aski...ng your significant other’s hand in marriage by using a diamond ring. Source: Cape Town Diamond Museum
