I just viewed a news episode concerning synthetic and natural diamonds. Scientifically, there is no difference. But, according to a certain man (whose name escapes me) who examines the clarity of natural diamonds and makes sure they're ready for sale..., there is a difference--an emotional one. He argues, would a woman choose a synthetic diamond, one made in the lab in a short while or a natural diamond that has taken millions of years to make?
He also argues that synthetic diamonds are not the real thing because it does not occur naturally.
But, in my opinon, a diamond is a diamond. From what I have gathered, a synthetic diamond (besides its close-to-perfect features) has all the features that make a diamond a diamond (like carbon).
So is there a difference between synthetic and naturally occurring diamonds? (besides emotional ones)
