How long have laboratory-grown diamonds been around?
H. Tracy Hall, Ph.D., a physical chemist working for General Electric, achieved one of the first commercially successful laboratory-grown diamonds in 1954. Up until recent times, most laboratory-grown diamonds were used for industrial purposes. Due to recent technological advancements, laboratories can now produce gem quality diamonds. These beautiful diamonds are eco-friendly and less expensive alternatives to rare and expensive earth-mined colored diamonds.
