I'm surprised article like this don't mention how NOT valuable real diamonds actually are and how it's all a marketing stunt from the 50s[1]. It's pretty funny to see De Beers and co trying to defend how precious their "real" stones are while the face value of man-made ones might actually be higher than those real ones they acquire slaving away poor african countries.
