Where Do The Best Diamonds Come From? by Victor Epand
[Mar 03, 2008]
Diamonds are one of the most popular gifts in the world. Each year, husbands and boyfriends buy their significant others billions of dollars worth of diamonds for anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas. On the entire planet, there are just over a couple dozen diamond mines in production, nearly half of which are in Africa.
When choosing a diamond, there are many factors to consider to ensure you get the best diamonds in the world.
Some consumers are affected morally when purchasing a diamond and will not buy one if it comes from an area of the world known to have a diamond industry that is fueled by terror, weapons and war.
For this reason, the Canadian diamond industry is fast becoming home of the most popular diamonds on Earth. In the past 17 years, Canada has emerged as the third biggest diamond producers on Earth, after having no diamond industry prior to 1990.
Canadian diamonds are known for their quality and being clean or non-bloody as some diamonds are in developing countries.
