This is off topic but, whatever became of the synthetic diamonds that began being made about 5-10 years ago that supposedly could not be distinguished from the real thing?

That story dropped of the radar real fast.

I’ve been wondering that myself! Low cost, ultra-high quality diamonds had been produced so it was not just in theory and diamond industry, well De Beers anyway were beside themselves demanding these perfect diamonds be engraved, etched, whatever so as to be identifiable as real but man made.
