Grading labs are often at the forefront of research and development into new tools and detection equipment, while other technology companies are developing tools for the labs' benefit. Rough manufacturers also often use these tools to internally grade stones. This helps them to determine any defects in the stones, and to pinpoint stones that may need to be recut ahead of being sent to the lab.
Diamonds are the epitome of luxury. Although diamonds are traditionally used in jewelry, many designers have created other beautiful and one-of-a-kind items with this precious stone. These unique pieces allow their owners to find new ways of displaying their wealth and creativity. Some of these items have been criticized as an unnecessary extravagance. In this series we showed interesting albeit unconventional items that have been made extraordinarily valuable through the presence of diamond. Here is the last part (read here part 1 , part 2 , Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5) of a list showing some of the most interesting ways that designers are incorporating diamonds into their product lines, transforming ordinary objects into luxury items.

Technology is changing the way companies search the Earth for diamonds. Many of these new technologies are still in development, and their application in diamond exploration has not been fully implemented. Not so when it comes to new technologies in diamond mining and extraction. Some exciting new machines have come along in the past few years that are helping miners to improve efficiencies in diamond liberation and in worker safety, and to get more value out of each tonne of rock they process. Let's have a look at some of these new developments.
