Canadian diamonds refer to diamonds that are mined in Canada. Since their discovery in the early 1990s in the Northwest Territories, Canadian diamonds have surged in popularity and are now highly sought after in the global market. Known for their high quality, these precious stones are often regarded as a great choice.
The Canadian diamond industry has been credited with providing a major economic boost in northern Canada, creating jobs and contributing to the local economies. The mines follow stringent environmental regulations and are held to a high standard of operation. Canada is now among the top five diamond-producing countries in terms of carat weight, delivering a product that combines luxury with a commitment to ethical mining practices.
Are Canadian Diamonds Rare?
Canada's diamond production yields a notably higher ratio of pristine, gem-quality deposits. Renowned for their superior color and clarity, as well as minimal fluorescence, Canadian diamonds are a rare and highly valued find in the jewellery market.
Diamonds and pencils may seem like very different objects, but they do have one thing in common: both are made of carbon. In diamonds, carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice structure, resulting in the hardest natural material known to man. On the other hand, in pencils, carbon is mixed with clay to create the "lead" that leaves marks on paper. It's fascinating to think that these two everyday objects, one associated with luxury and the other with practicality, both trace their origins back to the same basic building block of carbon.
