    synthetic diamond sizes keep getting bigger, but it is much harder to make them I think

    As of 2023 the heaviest synthetic diamond ever made weighs 30.18 ct (6.0 g); the heaviest natural diamond ever found weighs 3167 ct (633.4 g). Wikipedia

    That would be 1.7 vs 181 cm3

      Well, if they’re getting that big, that’s big enough for a lot of jewelry now.

        Yes, I would imagine that size would be comically large for like a ring or something
