What is a Man Made Diamond?
Chemists have been manufacturing man made diamonds for over 150 years. In the 1850’s a chemist had a theory. The theory was diamonds could be made out of carbon, through an extreme heat and pressure process. The high temperatures and extreme pressure recreate the inner earth environment, thusly allowing the creation of synthetic diamonds. This heat and pressurization process was successfully repeated over the next 100 years by several different chemists. However, one of the largest appliance companies was not quite so successful. It actually took 5 years of research and practice for G.E. to finally get it right. In the mid 1950’s G.E. was able to take hold of the synthetic diamond industry and is still used today in the abrasive market. The man made diamond can be very difficult to reproduce in its clear or natural form. In order to manufacture a clear diamond the man made environment must be without chemical blemish. However certain chemicals such as Boron in a ratio 1 to a million ca
