    Pedantry because funny: Diamonds and Roses aren’t man made either. On a more serious note, some things aren’t beautiful because they last but because they are fleeting.

      Lots of diamonds are man made, and most people can’t tell them apart from natural diamonds, especially without a microscope.

        True. My wife specifically requested a Moissanite. Most engagement rings are (sadly) still natural diamond.

      Yeah, but have you seen an unprocessed diamond? They don’t look all that interesting, especially when compared with other natural crystals. It certainly isn’t what most people think of when they picture a diamond.
