La scienza dei diamanti: approfondimento tecnico sulla chimica del materiale più duro

What determines the price of a diamond? In this video we discover the science behind the most famous precious stones in the world. Analyzing the characteristics and the four factors that determine the value of diamonds, or the 4Cs in English: carat (“carats”), color (“color”), clarity (“purity”) and cut (“cut”). Our DeNa together with the jeweler Gian Marco Tonello, through practical tests and scientific curiosities, will show us how to recognize a real diamond and what differentiates it from zircon and moissanite.
