Industrial diamonds affect all our lives: in the home, the car and the office. Not just in manufacturing and construction, but also in medical applications and even in space, where diamond is put to use as an engineering material second to none.

From kitchen furniture to electric light bulbs; granite and ceramic tiles to silicon chips; aluminium alloy wheels to medical scalpels; car windows to face cream; space probes to oil and gas drilling. The list goes on and on.
