I want to buy my gf jewelry with a pink diamond because it’s her favorite color, but they are extremely expensive since they only exist maybe 1% out of all the diamonds out there. I have found out that there are these new man made diamonds, also called “synthetic” or “cultured” diamonds that can be made pink. The news says that these are actually REAL diamonds (not zirconium or the other fake stuff) made by scientists that can replicate the natural process in a lab. Also, since they are man made, there is no chance of them being “blood diamonds”.

Has anyone ever purchased on of these diamonds and if so where? Even though people can make them, they seem to all be sold out because the cost savings are huge!

Please note, I am not too interested on whether you feel these diamonds are “real” or not. The fact is that scientifically they are one and the same and will pass 3rd party certification. I am more interested if someone has bought one and where, because they are very hard to get your hands on, whether they are naturally occuring or man made.

I also appreciate the people who have noted buying jewelry with other pink stones. This is very helpful, thanks.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth’s orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.
