    IMHO the diamond beads are of course low quality mostly available as
    black opaque and you can more than likey get a better result in a
    necklace using something else dark opaque and faceted i.e. onyx,
    smoky quartz, 'mystic' topaz... 

    The trouble I have thought about stringing the diamonds no matter
    what you use eventually that cording is going to risk rub wear and
    being cut probably at a much faster rate than any of us are used to
    experiencing. 

    I guess it really depends on how many clients you have that would
    want to pay the increase in costs for these pieces. Especially when
    they and their jeweler are the only ones who know thise beads are
    'genuine' diamonds.
