| Apr 15, 2016 at 17:05 | comment | added | WhatRoughBeast | @LegoStormtroopr - Would you please pay more attention to your links? We're talking jewelry here, not industrial diamonds. Your link to industrial diamond production is entertaining but misses the point. In fact, several paragraphs down the same article states, " Mining companies' expenses average 40 to 60 (dollars) per carat for natural colorless diamonds, while synthetic manufacturers' expenses average 2,500 (dollars) per carat for synthetic, gem-quality colorless diamonds." So, no, synthetic diamonds have no major effect on jewelry-grade diamond prices. | |

Sadly, I can't find a reference but De Beers did put out ads/PR equating fake diamonds" with "fake love" | |

| Oct 15, 2015 at 3:11 | comment | added | user2547 | @CodesInChaos That article changed how I saw jewelery, and Joshua, you can - in bulk, for cheap. | |
| Oct 15, 2015 at 2:30 | comment | added | Joshua | But I actually want the industrial diamond because of the blood guilt on natural diamond. :( | |

| Oct 14, 2015 at 14:16 | comment | added | called2voyage | The only way to guarantee authenticity in this situation is to watch the jewelry be made--or to have someone you trust watch it be made. | |

| Oct 14, 2015 at 10:28 | comment | added | DarioP | I read a lot of worrisome in the De Beers article that you linked... | |
