一說到鑽石的產地
大家第一反應就是問:這是不是南非鑽?
鑽石商家在內心給你個鄙視的眼神,然後畢恭畢敬的告訴你:「是的,這時南非最好的鑽石呢」
然而事實是這樣的:
知道現在鑽石產量最高的是哪嗎?
不是南非,是 俄羅斯。
1948年俄羅斯發現鑽石後
就逐漸取代了南非的位置
如今俄羅斯的鑽石產量佔全球25%
俄羅斯的埃羅莎(Alrosa)
成為僅次於戴比爾斯的鑽石生產商
知道現在鑽石產值最高的是哪嗎?
不是南非,是波札那。
波札那位於南非的北面
鑽石是大自然賦予波札那的瑰寶
鑽石開採則是波札那的支柱產業
佔全國GDP的三分之一
按鑽石的產值計算
波札那已成為世界之最
是真正的「鑽石王國」
知道出寶石級鑽石最多的是哪嗎?
不是南非,是納米比亞。
納米比亞位於南非北面
波札那的西面
納米比亞有一條鑽石海岸
這裡的鑽石礦
大多屬於次生礦
因此出產的鑽石品質極高
其中95%以上為寶石級鑽石
知道出產粉鑽最多的是哪嗎?
不是南非,是澳大利亞
自1979年澳大利亞西部發現
鉀鎂斑岩中含有金剛石起
澳大利亞的金剛石產量
已逐漸占據霸主地位
尤其是阿蓋爾礦床儲量為5.5億克拉
全球大約90%的粉鑽
都產自Argle阿蓋爾礦
知道最早出產鑽石的是哪嗎?
不是南非,是印度。
印度早在公元四世紀
就開始用鑽石做工具
對其他寶石進行雕琢
十七世紀的印度鑽石產量達到頂峰
很多歐洲皇室保留的鑽石
都產自印度
到了十八世紀
印度的鑽礦才逐步枯竭
大家對「南非鑽石」如此根深蒂固,主要是因為南非確實出產了世界上最多的「世界名鑽」,同時南非出產的鑽石原石差不多有80%能達到寶石級別。
目前世界上約70%的鑽石原石集中在戴比爾斯公司手中,戴比爾斯公司將世界各地的鑽石原石集中在一起然後分銷給它的看貨商,而所有的鑽石原石都沒有任何產地特徵的,在這種情況下誰又能保證自己分銷到的就一定是南非鑽石呢?
所以千萬不要被商家的「南非鑽石」的幌子的蒙蔽!
其實,打磨好的鑽石
任憑鑑定師再怎麼牛
也是無法鑑別出產地的
鑽石的價值終歸是根據4C來衡量
所以相比產地
關注鑽石的品質、鑑定證書
以及品牌信譽等等
才是更重要的!

Here is just a quick hair tutorial that only takes a few minutes to do. Great for days where you are in a hurry to do your hair but you still want to look cute (because who doesn't? =D). This cute knotted side bun is super adorable and would be perfect for school/everyday. I don't know about you guys but where I'm living in right now, I can barely stand a day with my hair down.
This hairstyle has a very cute and fun feel. It's kinda messy and looks complicated but it's so easy that you can do it with your eyes closed. I did this hairstyle with mega textured/beachy hair. It was super teased for a runway style up-do hairstyle ouch.... It's a lot easier with clean (or greasy lol) hair but the dryness did make the hairstyle stay put lol.
Ps. I didn't dye my hair again (obviously from my roots lol). My dark dye just faded =( My hair doesn't like being dark.
Pps. I got my Hello Kitty fashion glasses from Argle Centre Mong Kok. You can actually get them almost everywhere in Hong Kong. I wish they're my real glasses O_O They're so fun!
EDIT! I just checked ebay and you can actually find them in all sorts of colours. They cost roughly the same as how much I paid for them in HK. Hope this helps. Just type in 'Hello kitty glasses'. x
Ppps. HAPPY NATIONAL WOMANS DAY!
Pppps. Oh, almost forgot to mention. Did you notice I show how my hair looks knotted in both sides? I think my side bun always looks best on my right side. You?
Time to dance to Roly Poly again (Or lolly polly). My fav song from T-ara. Yes, I used the instrumental ^^.
Much love, Bubz xx
