If they get good at making these flawless diamonds, would they be considered the same value as a natural flawless diamond?

Probably not. No good reason why not though (rarity and "natural" being the only differentiating properties), just that people and markets are sometimes irrational.

Natural flawless means, to a jeweler, no imperfections seen with a 10 power loupe. If these are truly flawless, then they would be differentiated from natural diamonds, but since they would be "better" than a natural diamond, the value would be ???????

Carat for carat and color for color, I don't foresee created diamonds becoming more expensive than the *real* ones.

Flawless, lab created gemstones such as sapphire and ruby have been on the market for some time.

The problem with the diamonds was the ability to create them colorless, flawless and of a reasonable size.

FYI:Both Lab created and naturally occurring gemstones are currently (legally) described in advertisements as *genuine*, but only one of them is 'natural'.

I would venture a "yes." After all, once they're cut, how would you tell the difference?

Not if DeBeers has a say so in it. Remember that natural diamonds are quite common and their high value is due only to DeBeers' monopoly on sales and distribution.

If they get good at making these flawless diamonds, would they be considered the same value as a natural flawless diamond?

Probably not. They would stil be MAN MADE. Just like the man made emeralds. They are not real even though stores may tell you so. Just ask your insurance person. Some don't mind fake gems though and that's ok, too. :)
