Raw Diamonds
Raw Have Value
When you wish to purchase a diamond ring, bracelet, necklace or earrings, you can visit any reputable jewelry store and view dozens of beautiful, sparkling white diamonds. You will need to specify what you want; the cut of your diamond, its color and clarity, and its mounting. You can also see that have not been mounted, so you can design the mount yourself. What you won't see in most jewelry stores are raw diamonds.
The diamond you select didn t come out of the mine looking anything like what you see in jewelry stores. The Argyle mine near Perth, Australia produces what are considered to be among the best-quality in the world.

The raw diamond then undergoes many chemical treatments, is cut in a variety of shapes, and electronically polished to give it that gorgeous sparkle you see in the store.
Many people find raw to be interesting and reflective of the forces of nature that turned a lump of black coal into something resplendent. Raw can be mounted as necklaces, bracelets and rings. It is like wearing a piece of the earth that created and sustains all life forms, including mankind.
Diamonds are just one example of a raw stone. Emeralds, sapphires and rubies that are still raw and uncut can be found in specialty jewelry stores all over the world. Raw and other raw stones are a major source of income in countries like Aruba and other islands of the Caribbean. Raw stones are an opportunity to wear a piece of the earth s history.
