Synthetic diamonds are now purer, cheaper, and more beautiful than mined diamonds, thanks to decades of hard work and advanced technology. Diamonds are made of carbon atoms arranged in a lattice structure that makes them durable and resistant. They have high thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity, and can be made into semiconductors. Lab-grown diamonds have surpassed mined diamonds in quality and have opened up new possibilities for their use. The process of making diamonds has evolved over the years, with breakthroughs like the belt press and cubic press making it possible to mass-produce high-quality diamonds in the lab. The story of how diamonds are made, from the early experiments to the modern methods, is filled with innovation and perseverance.
