From Africa with Love....rough diamond sources !!



You can hardly imagine that a rough diamond will end up giving you a brilliant fiery gem.

A diamond in the rough is nothing to write home about.
This is the raw material from which you get your cut diamonds.

Diamonds occur naturally in very few locations on earth.

Approximately 90% of all diamond jewelry, including diamond engagement rings, Mens diamond rings and wedding diamond rings are made from diamonds mined in....Angola, South Africa, Namibia, DRC & Sierra Leone.

As can be seen, Africa has the biggest diamond reserves in the world hence the woes its' always in and also the origins of blood diamonds. This is where diamonds have been used to fund wars and revolutions; being used as money in exchange for guns and ammunition.

Australia, South America, Canada and Russia make up the rest of the major diamond producing countries.
These diamonds are a source of income to many people in Africa and the West.
Those involved in small and large scale diamond mining, the brokers and exporters.

They are a valuable resource which mostly brings joy to a lot of people.
