Diamonds are valued mostly for their hardness and thermal conductivity, making many of the gemological characteristics of diamonds, such as clarity and color, irrelevant for most applications.
Jade Rings This helps explain why 80% of mined diamonds , unsuitable for use as gemstones, are destined for industrial use.
Jade Bangle In addition to mined diamonds, synthetic diamonds found industrial applications almost immediately after their invention in the 1950s; another 570,000,000 carats (110,000 kg) of synthetic diamond is produced annually for industrial use. Approximately 90% of diamond grinding grit is currently of synthetic origin.
Jade Necklaces They can also identify the vast majority of treated natural diamonds. "Perfect" crystals (at the atomic lattice level) have never been found, so both natural and synthetic diamonds always possess characteristic imperfections, arising from the circumstances of their crystal growth, that allow them to be distinguished from each other.
