I don’t know anything about this process, nor whether traditional diamond buyers will consider the product a good substitute for traditional mined diamonds.

But any non-coercive introduction of a substitute gives consumers another choice, and is therefore good.

Lab created diamonds are already readily available, but alot of people want natural diamonds(their value lies in the rarity), if something is created in a lab and is not rare it will have less value.

Some people don’t mind lab created diamonds as they look better, but there will always be people who prefer natural diamonds.
