There's another kind that are made by man. In recent years -- over the past four or five years -- there has been an explosion in synthetic diamond production, largely driven by factories in China and India. There are a lot of those factories (spurred by the relatively easy availability of the necessary production-line equipment) and they're all in cutthroat competition with each other, so there has been a race to the bottom on price.
You can get huge, very high-quality diamonds now for a fraction of what they used to cost. Like 95% off. It's crazy.
Well, that goes for some diamonds.
