After so many years of ruling the diamond industry, the De Beers have finally found their match brought about an unprecedented scientific advancement in creating diamonds. These synthetic or lab grown diamonds are absolutely magnificent that it is being viewed to take over the monopoly of the De Beers.

What precisely man made diamonds? Man-made diamonds are artificially made diamonds. These diamonds are created through a process called CVD or chemical vapor deposition. In essence, the way this works is by enabling diamonds to grow one at a time of crystals. With the aid of high temperatures and high pressures, the diamonds are able to attain the kind of quality that natural diamonds possess. In just a 12 hour time span, the diamonds will be able to grow into one full carat. This is an amazing breakthrough considering that engagement rings are less than one carat.

The primary reason as to why this kind of process was attained was because of the interest that the jewelry industry has shown over the Ersatz’ variety of the 45 carat Hope diamond. In addition to that, scientists all over the world were also able to come up with new uses for artificial diamonds. With the use of chemical vapor deposition, scientists will be able to mass-produce diamond semiconductors, which have turned out to be more than a hundred percent more efficient than their silicon counterparts.

Due to its promising results, a lot of scientists have shown their interest in the new found industry. Researchers from Apollo Diamond Incorporated in Boston and Russell Hemley from the Geophysical Lab of Carnegie Institution of Washington have by far created the most unblemished and largest lab made diamonds in the world.

In addition to that, the Carbon Power Electronics consortium of Europe, which is led by Element Six, has created an artificial diamond diode. An artificial diamond diode is the first step that must be done in order to come up with semiconductors.

It is expected that within a few years, diamonds will already be greatly cheaper than natural diamonds. In addition to that, by year 2011, scientists expect diamond semiconductors to emerge in the market. Indeed, in the last 10 years, artificially made diamonds’ consistency and clarity have become absolutely flawless that they have surpassed the standards of real diamonds.

Likewise, the jewelry industry will also benefit greatly. The De Beers have become seriously affected by these artificial diamonds that they have imprinted their logo on their minded diamonds just to distinguish it from the artificial diamonds.
