Glen,

I thought De Beers sold uncut/rough diamonds only, and they had that selling system in place where the buyers have to buy in lots or bunches which have been put together and buyers cannot negotiate or authenticate...??? I suppose its to reduce overheads and liabilities.

Am I wrong ???

Regards..

HG

>How is a diamond "manufactured?"

I should have used the term "produced"

Just as nobody "manufactures" any element on planet earth, nobody manufactures compressed coal. Well, except that division of General Electric that manufactured high-temperature plasma diamonds of any weight/color/purity, until everyone involved in the division suddenly resigned and retired into a life of luxury, closed the program, and refused to speak of the issue ever again.
