Yes, that has been possible for awhile, but I thought there was
a way to tell the diff. Had thought no way would I put a dime into
diamond jrs, and never have.

Artificial diamonds will be like artificial pearls ok for poor people but if you have the money you will buy the real McCoy, I don't think many women would be very happy if they found out the sparkler they are wearing wasn't real. imo

You've got to be kidding ! Production costs of $8,000/carat would keep those stones in the ground. Canadian miners typically get $125/carat on average(give or take) for rough stones before they are cut and polished. If it ends up costing $8,000 to produce a real 1 carat diamond, how much would the stone have to sell for before everyone on the ladder makes a profit ?
