Interesting. The diamonds in question were thought to be organic diamonds by a dealer in Antwerp. It was actually manufactured in......Florida. Vid\'s kingdom. Luckee\'s stomping ground.

Even if they\'re yellow?  So I guess when I get a wife I\'ll only be spending $25 on the ring rather than $1500?
Interesting read Gman, thanks.

Page 4 was a bit frightening. Apparently, De Beers is quite "opposed" to the idea of grown diamonds. How far they will go to stop it is up to your imagination.

Quote
By January, Apollo plans to start selling them on the jewelry market. But that\'s just the first step. Robert and Bryant Linares expect to use revenue from the gem trade to fund their company\'s semiconductor ambitions. Not surprisingly, the diamond industry is hostile to the idea, as the younger Linares discovered four years ago when he attended an industry conference in Prague. He was hoping to find out whether any other researchers - possibly De Beers scientists themselves - had discovered the sweet spot. During a break in the conference, a man approached Linares and told him to be careful. "He said that my father\'s research was a good way to get a bullet in the head," Linares recalls.

DeBeers is a ruthless monopoly. Even though diamond is one of the most plentiful substances on the planet, they restrict the flow of product. When DeBeers "took over" south africa in the 1800\'s,
they had local villagers crawling around with tin cups around their
necks picking up diamonds... they made it against the law for anyone to pick up a diamond off of the ground, punishable by death.

Yeah, I\'ve heard those stories too.  DeBeers is one of the most evil corporations on the planet.  As a result, I will never purchase any of their products.  If and when I get engaged / married, my fiancee will not receive a DeBeers diamond.  It might be some other kind of gem, and if she doesn\'t understand why, then she wasn\'t the right woman for me anyway.

I just bought my girl a diamond...gonna give it to her for christmas. She\'s got tiny asian-type hands, so I made out easy. Big would have looked stupid, so I got her an .82 carat oval, F color, VS2, no flourescence. My boss sells diamonds on the side, so I got a hell of a deal. - $1200.00 !

Talk about interesting reading. This is some pretty heavy stuff really. Diamonds in your computer, heh heh, nifty. Anyway, DeBeers can suck a fat you know what and if the price is less than real diamonds, both colored and non then screw DeBeers even more. Bastards. The only hold that DeBeers could possibly hold on the market is the fact that the stones are millions of years old. That alone i guess is quite amazing, and as a world of changing trends and traditions, we have come to love the "Original" in everything,  wether it be music or otherwise.

That said, i know i would love to have that kind of technology in the heart of my puter. Very nice. Thanx G-Man

I\'ll support any technology that threatens to pull the rug out from under one of the most ruthless companies in the world.

For someone to have a 100 year old monopoly is ridiculous.

Those researchers should be careful.  Some of those diamond companies involved in the blood-diamond market won\'t think much of the lives of a couple of nerds threatening their bottom lines.

It\'s common knowledge that diamonds are 20x times overpriced. If you pay say $2500 for a rock, the truth is that rock is really only worth $100 at most

De Beers has warehouses full of diamonds, and only release a small fraction of them into the market thereby increasing there value due to artificial scarcity. We have been conditioned to believe that diamonds are rare and exquisite, when in reality it\'s all BS.

Diamonds are common, and plentyful.

DeBeers sucks ass. I\'ll probably end up buying my girl a diamond ring before this ever takes off, though. However, a couple grand isn\'t too bad when it represents a lifetime of commitment. But I had no idea the diamond monopoly was so vicious. Eesh. =\\ Maybe I\'ll just get a ring with her birthstone (ruby). Meh...
