The first known diamonds were discovered in India over 3000 years ago. They were believed to have been created by the gods and possessed magical powers. They were used as talismans and currency. It wasn't until the 16th century that diamonds began to be incorporated into jewelry. The modern diamond industry took off in the 18th century with major discoveries in Brazil and later in 1866 in South Africa.

Diamonds are mined on land using large excavators that remove soil and rock to reach the diamond layers. At sea, suction dredges are used to vacuum up gravel and sand from the seabed. After mining, diamonds are sorted by quality and cut into gemstones.
