- kuschku 3y agoNot much, production cost is closer to that of RAM or a CPU than to a graphite pencil, as it's usually produced in the same way as semiconductors are.
- wtfmcgrill 3y agoThe margin is in cutting and faceting. The Swiss make a CNC diamond cutting machine that can cut and facet a diamond in about an hour vs days for manual cutting.
- npteljes 3y agoVery large, judging from the second hand market values.
