Gem diamonds share the podium with gold as a luxury commodity, principally in diamond rings to mark engagements and the special anniversaries of life, and in jewellery. Industrial diamonds have an important role as abrasives in sanding discs, circular saws and other machining processes.
Rio Tinto has established a firm base for growth in the world diamond industry by creating a market niche for smaller gems. This is an example of how customer focus has added value through the company working with buyers to give buyers the products they want.
