Project Title : Determination of Nature of Diamonds through Age-determination techniques like Radiocarbon dating
Abstract : Project Proposed by TITAN (Tanishq) Jewelry Group
We are interested in determining the age of diamonds that we procure from various sources in a non-destructive manner. We were looking at Radiocarbon dating as a potential method to date ancient objects, and discovered that you had created a non-destructive method of doing the same.
We think that the presence or absence of C14 in diamonds could be used to indicate if the diamonds were truly millions of years old or older (natural), since lab-grown diamonds are made with common carbon sources which would have been part of carbon cycle, thereby having C14 in them.
