Diamonds as a luxury in technology

2013-05-13 by Jason

Whenever someone hears the word diamond, images of luxurious precious stones and extremely hard substances may arise in the mind. Diamonds have built their legacy and reputation as being known for being one of the most expensive m hardest substances in the planet. Diamonds have been used as pieces of luxurious jewelry for millennia. These beautiful stones are capable of enhancing looks by giving them the appearance of high status. Thanks to the increasing popularity of diamonds, there are now lots of companies and professionals interested in buying and selling these precious stones.

When the industrial era came, the diamond was given a second purpose: to shape other materials with its extreme strength and durability. However, many of today’s experts and researchers are starting to see the enormous potential of applying diamonds to advance our current technologies by leaps and bounds.

Diamonds have also been used to enhance the looks of popular devices such as smartphones. Some companies such as Vertu have devices enhanced with diamonds that cost thousands of dollars; however it is no match to the infamous $15 million iPhone that has been enhanced with black diamonds. You heard that right, $15 million for this “special” device. This device was envisioned by a Chinese businessman that was interested in incorporating rare black diamonds to an iPhone 5. Master craftsman Stuart Hughes from the UK was the right man for this job. Stuart Hughes has the enhanced smartphone on his device, ready to be purchased by somebody that loves collecting these one of a kind items. The craftsman also offers other blinged out smartphones at lower prices.

Technology devices enhanced with diamonds may be more common in the following years thanks to artificial diamonds. Artificial diamonds share almost the same qualities of conventional diamonds but with their own set of important advantages. Most importantly, artificial diamonds are easier to obtain and shape than their traditional counterparts. Thanks to all the research that’s being done surrounding diamonds in different technologies and industries, there is no doubt that there will be an increased demand for these useful minerals. Artificial diamonds will have an important role in the future, since they will allow enough supply and keep costs down at the same time. It will be interesting to see how diamonds will impact our day to day lives in the near future.
