Heat Exchangers Coated with Diamonds
2007-11-08 19:58:00
A typically Double Pipe Heat Exchangernot coated yet with diamond. Do you know that diamonds can be used in heat exchangers? Recent developments have made it fairly easy to apply a microscopic layer of diamond-structured carbon to a wide variety of materials. The process is done in a vacuum, with a carbon-rich gas, and the layer is "grown". Because diamond is the hardest so-far-known ordinary material, drill bits and other cutting tools have been the first things to receive the diamond-coating treatment. Well, did you know that also because diamond is the hardest substance, it is best solid heat conducting substance? The reason why is because heat-vibrations are "seen" by diamond just the same as sound-wave vibrations. So heat at Point A literally gets conducted to Point B at the speed of sound inside diamond (thousands of meters per second). Diamond has a speed of sound of approx 17,500m/s.viaSilver, Gold and Diamond Bracelets

The Eclectic Luxury Watches of Zadora Timepieces
2007-11-03 20:56:00
It is very hard for me to describe these watches with words? Time in this case is not the most important thing, and this must be the reason why in these amazing masterpieces of jewelery the time is read through on the side of the watch rather than the top.The dial rotates and the hand remains fixed. The winding and setting crown has a briolette cut diamond, the lugs are set with precious stones, and the time indicator is set with diamonds to mark the half hours. All watches described in this site sport an 18kt white or yellow gold timepiece, designed with a unique orbital dial face with roman numerals, a triangular diamond indicator, and transparent sapphire case back displaying the mechanism. Each motif sits atop a guilloche decorated domed plate. The meticulously hand crafted one-of a-kind design is fitted with interchangeable galuchat watchstraps in complementing colors with an 18kt. gold guilloche buckled clasp.Source: trendhunter.com

The only thing you do is that you have to win it. In addition, the winner will also get two Super Bowl tickets every year for life. The sterling-silver can is encrusted with 300 diamonds, 100 sapphires and 100 rubies. The design was inspired by past Super Bowl rings, as well as by the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the winning Super Bowl team. There will not be any Pepsi in the can.

Colored diamonds: The most expensive gemstone in the world

Strongly colored diamonds, called fancies, can be genuinely scarce. About one carat out of every 10,000 sold is a fancy. These shades include yellow, green, blue, orange, brown ("champagne"), purple, gray, black, milky white, pink and red. Red is by far the rarest.There are around thirty-five red diamonds currently known and most weigh under half a carat. The largest is the Moussaieff Red at 5.11 carats, cut from a 14-carat rough found by a Brazilian farmer and displayed at the Smithsonian in 2003.Per carat prices for natural, untreated red diamonds have so far ranged from about $800,000.00 to $1.9 million which makes this substance the world's most concentrated nonradiological form of wealth. Most of the time these stones are unavailable at any price, though there were reports in 2002 of a new discovery in the Lipetsk region of Russia.SERENDIBITE, not to be confused with serandite, is a cyan colored stone that comes from Sri Lanka.

Diamond-studded bra that costs $10million

HOW?S this for a treasure chest ? a diamond-studded bra that costs $10million. Saucy lingerie store Victoria?s Secret includes the sensational Star of Victoria fantasy bra in its Christmas 2002 catalogue. Designed by jewellers Mouawad, it has a huge, flawless, 60-carat diamond at its centre and is encrusted with 1,150 rubies, cut into roses. Also included are 1,600 emeralds which have been fashioned into leaves. The cost of the one-off bra, modelled here by Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova, 18, includes a matching pair of knickers ? inset with 2,420 rubies, emeralds and diamonds. But the astronomical price-tag ? at £6½million the costliest in the world for undies ? does NOT include Karolina?s spectacular matching necklace.

It will cost punters a mere $998 ? nearly £642.Source: thesun
