    Seeing how advanced the process is, imagine how expensive a similarly cut diamond would've been in a time when we didn't have the same technological advancement?

    I'm surprised there is this much information available. I heard this industry is very hard to get into and it takes a long time to learn how to do this type of work. I was a bit disappointed to not see how the stone is actually cut. And the one stone had a number etched into it and it was not discussed.

    Thanks for this. It's a pity some comments reveal a recent propaganda inspired hate for diamonds, they have little respect for mankind's achievements. Look it up - cutting and polishing stones is an ancient art and what you have just seen, and some have just ridiculed, is a truly beautiful end result since mankind first flaked off flint to use for cutting meat. There seems to be no respect for the achievements of mankind because people are so ignorant of history and the effort that has gone before over millennia. The diamond memorializes that to me because I understand historically what has gone before. Learning to cut stone, and polish stone allowed such wonders as the pyramids to be built and the amazing results at Machu Picchu. Those wonders, along with polished stone artifacts, and now these beautifully cut diamonds, are the result of strenuous work over millennia by previous craftsmen . Look up quarrying stone, cutting stone, polishing stone, how the pyramids were built, and your little diamond will become another wonder of the world thanks to all the craftsmen who have gone before. I respect them. Regards.

    Seems like a lot of trouble for such microscopic little stones? I still dont get the attraction? Do people want them because they are rare? Because everyone else wants them?

    Sweet jebus, now I know why diamonds make me poor every time I buy one for my ungrateful girlfriend. Its to line the pockets of those behind the scenes! What a tedious cataract inducing job!
