Let's talk about diamonds...
Which world locations are synonymous with the diamond trade?
Originally, diamonds were only found around the Krishna River in India, but it is now estimated that 50% of all diamonds are mined in Africa, with other significant diamond mines in Australia, Russia and Canada.
Whilst there is a huge worldwide market for diamonds and they are traded in most countries around the world, there are a few main locations which are seen as the worldwide diamond trading centres. Between 80% to 90% of all diamonds were polished in Surat in India.With the main diamond trading locations of Hatton Garden in London, The Diamond district in New York, Amsterdam in Holland, The Diamond Exchange in Tel Aviv and Antwerp in Belgium, where between 75% and 80% of all rough diamonds and 50% of all cut diamonds are traded.
