I was going to ask the synthetic diamond question, but I was beaten too it. Then this came along:

Manufactured and diamond synthetics probably won't be a huge problem, like Moissanite is now. If they're man made, they'll almost always be labeled as such, and if not most jewelers are always wary of big stones that are too clean and too white.

I don't get this. Are you implying that they will always be considered inferior? Why? It's the same rock, right?

I was under the assumption that once we got synthetic diamonds down right we could stop digging the drat things out of the ground.

If anything, the idea that they will always be labeled as such and considered 2nd class is the huge problem.

I'm all for synthetic - except where diamonds are concerned.

Why?
