Surprised they say that synthetic diamonds are only 30-40% cheaper than natural diamonds. I was looking forward to being able to buy a diamond the size of my fist for £100. Wonder whether the lack of movement on cost is just the early players producing low supply and matching the existing natural diamond market, or whether that is a serious cost-based price.
- bluedevil2k 12y agoIt's not cheap (cheap meaning $100 for a fist sized rock) to make a synthetic diamond. Factor in the lack of demand for large fake diamonds as well. Almost all fake diamonds are used in manufacturing - drills, saws, etc.
- jacquesm 12y agoSynthetic != fake. They're just as real as any other diamond. Fake diamonds are definitely not used in saws & drills, but synthetic ones are.
