Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones easier to grow in the lab.
Compared to their artificially inflated price. They’re obviously useful in industry - mainly for their thermal conductivity and their hardness - but their price as a jewel is complete bullshit. They’re not rare at all in nature, but one company controls all of them and uses advertising to drive up demand and public perception.
??? The strongest material available to us seems worthless to manufacture to you??
they clearly meant diamonds as jewelry.
How?
