When you walk into a jewelry store and see all the one carat diamond rings in all of the various settings that are for sale, it is difficult to realize that
one carat diamond rings are indeed rare. Most people don’t even stop to consider how that diamond came to be sitting in that jeweler’s
case! There is quite a bit of work that is done before a one carat diamond ring is ready to sell to the general public!
For every one million diamonds that are mined, only one will be found that is a quality one carat diamond ring. In order to find a two carat diamond ring, about five million diamonds must be mined. More than two hundred tons of ore must be mined to find one small
diamond, and even then, more than 80% of the diamonds that are mined are only good for industrial use, such as diamond drill bits.
So, the next time you visit your local jewelry store, ask to see the one carat diamond rings. You should look at this one carat diamond ring with new appreciation – knowing that it truly is one in a million!
