    I saw how they do that on TV. You can’t do that. They need huge machines with extremely high temperatures to do that since they form deep in the earth.

    In short, no

    The sort of equipment needed would have to simulate millions of years of stress on a carbon compound, which no doubt would make the machinery well over 100 million dollars. Sorry, but if it were as easy as just getting the equipment, we would all have diamonds all over the place :P.
