The topic of synthetic, or lab-grown, diamonds seems to be popping up all over the media. It was discussed on a Discovery Times show about the Hope Diamond, and here are two articles this past week:

Romancing the stone:

Man-made diamonds baffle jewelers:

Very nice articles. I've often wondered how much lab-grown diamonds worry/bother DeBeers and the other large diamond companies. They're less expensive, have no blood on them....and the diamond companies cannot control their release on the market. While I know the makers will be careful not to flood the market and kill their own business, I do think it could definitely take away a substantial amount of business from DeBeers and the others.

I know when I have some cash, I'm getting a pink and will be very happy about it! I like the fact that unlike some sims, I will never have to replace it and it will be a very unique family heirloom piece.

I'll definitely purchase one in the future...I just haven't found the stone that sings to me yet that I MUST have it!

Any idea why there aren't more of these stones selling right now? Clearly there is allot of interest (G&G had a report - a bit dated now: LINK .) but somehow it looks like more effort and cash went into the lab ID tools than making the synthetics themselves.

Not sure which sounds more appealing: a super-computer on my desk (perhaps with one of those diamond chips!) or a large synthetic diamond hanging around casually looking good.

Does it have to be an "either or" choice?!!! I'd love to sit at the super-computer adoring the large synthetic diamond on my hand.

Down with DeBeers! As soon as I can swing it, I hope to get a yellow takara
