Where do real diamonds come from?
Real diamonds come from mines. Some of the largest diamond-producing countries are Russia, Botswana, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Tanzania. Diamonds form from carbon due to the effects of 1 to 3 billion years of high pressure and temperatures. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of diamond jewelry.
