First off let me say i know next to nothing about diamonds.. My knowledge of cutting pricing etc etc is about next to 0 so I'm looking to get some education from you all in the form of responces.
The other night me and some friends got to talking about synthetic diamonds and their pricing and amoung other things we came to the grand idea of having a specific item carved from a synthetic diamond. The item in question is a typical smoking pipe.
We figure due to pricing its going to be very expensive but we decided to make it a life long goal (we are keeping in mind this wont happen for years but with better technology the pricing will go down but still.) We are looking for an estimated price on a diamond with the demensions of 2 inches by 2 inches by 4 inches, I'm aware this might cost hundreds of thousands or more but that would be within reach in a few years so I'm honistly asking about this. Obviously our finished product will be smaller as we would have it cut etc etc (we plan to sell off the fragments that are left over. Also would it even be possable to hollow out a diamond into the shape of a smoking pipe with current technology? I understand diamonds are tough to cut, but we figured using some form of lazor cutting would be the way to go if this ever actually got done. I understand how silly of a goal/question this all is but I'm being honist and would like to know. Any help would be appreciated.
