DiCaprio let himself be tempted by the promises of the company just like heroes of the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” , in which he played a businessman-tightening gullible customers. The actor believed in ensuring the company Diamond Foundry , which boasts that it is able to produce hundreds of diamonds weighing nine carats in just two weeks. But not for profit stake, because, as he explained DiCaprio on Twitter , is proud to support ethical business.
Why ethical? Because synthetic diamonds, not deviating quality of real diamonds are formed in laboratory conditions in factories. Meanwhile, the mining of diamonds real, with mines located in poor Third World countries, usually accompanied by exploitation of miners and high mortality in the work.
The American actor, known for his role in the aptly named “Blood Diamond” , has already protested loudly against fraud in obtaining precious stones in the previous manner. Now you will be able to more actively support the fight against “diamond” exploitation. Among the other investors who have decided to financially support the Diamond Foundry , were well-known American entrepreneur of the Internet industry – founder of Twitter Evan Williams , former head of eBay Jeff Skoll , co-founder of Facebook Andrew McCollum and former head of the operations department – Owen Van Natta . I just completed the third series of the issue of shares of the company.
Diamond Foundry is certainly not the first company engaged in the production of artificial diamonds. The first synthetic versions of the stones appeared 60 years ago, today there are several “factories” of this type.
Natural diamonds are formed due to the impact on coal deposits of high pressure and temperature. This process takes millions of years. The company, in which invested DiCaprio, argues that it is able to produce them much faster. It uses real diamonds while serving as a kind of “seed”. Artificial stones ripen at very high temperature (8000 degrees Celsius) – much higher than the temperature on the surface of the sun (near 6000 degrees). In such circumstances – speaking very generally – diamond spores are deposited atoms synthetic diamond , layer by layer. On the basis of the original, a new, much heavier diamond.
Diamond Foundry was founded in Silicon Valley by Martin Roscheisena – the inventor of Nanosolar processing solar energy into electricity. Roscheisen graduated from Stanford University in the same year as the founders of Google – Larry Page and Sergey Brin .
