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.

How is Moissanite a problem? From the little bit I've read in the last couple of months just out of curiosity it seems that Moissanite is a fairly viable alternative to Diamond.

Because it is sold by unscrupulous people claiming that it is Diamond as an act of fraud?

Most of the places that I have seen call it a diamond simulant not actual diamond. If people are passing it off as actual diamond then yes there is a problem with that. The places I have a problem with are the ones who are trying to sell off CZ type stones as Synthetic Diamonds not as the Diamond Simulant that they actually are.
