Diamond research at De Beers Group
The research team encompasses a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, from geology and gemmology to physics and materials science.
What positions us to be the industry leaders in diamond research?
The research team collaborate with scientists at Element Six, a division of De Beers Group that is focused on developing synthetic diamond materials for technical applications. Element Six are acknowledged leaders in diamond synthesis.
We work closely with our De Beers Group colleagues at Element Six to advance our understanding and knowledge of synthetic diamonds. This in turn allows us to translate any potential detection challenges into new verification technologies and processes, in combination with our development, production and commercial teams.
The team also supports the Institute of Diamonds which offers diamond grading, verification and screening services, as well as providing educational courses for the wider industry.
We have several key partnerships and collaborations, both within industry and academia.
