TIL: China creates so much synthetic diamonds that are identical to real diamonds that prices of diamonds are being driven down and De Beers has created a university to study how to identify “natural” and “man made” diamonds because no experts can tell the difference.

Good.

When you learn that diamond companies (De Beers mostly) has been artificially inflating the price of diamonds for years, you really dont care if China screws them.

Chances are, you can only distinguish natural diamond from man-made by minute flaws and imperfections, i.e. because they’re worse by the standards of the jewellery industry De Beers has a hand in.
