    Guys please remember even if they are indistinguishable from real diamonds you still have to pay 100X the price and buy the “real” diamond or they are gonna reject your proposal

      Hot take: If a partner rejects you because you didn’t give them an expensive enough engagement gift, they’re not worth marrying.

      If they truly love you, they wouldn’t care. If they had the slightest concern for your future together, they would prefer that money go into a savings account or the down payment for a house or literally anything more useful than a ring.

        Yeah, from the article:

        The diamonds produced using this method are minuscule, hundreds of thousands of times smaller than those grown with the HPHT method. Hence, these diamonds are far too small for jewelry applications.

        However, their use in technological applications, such as drilling or polishing, is a possibility. Due to the low pressure involved in the new method, it might be feasible to significantly scale up diamond synthesis.

        However, i bet they are already thinking of getting bigger ones, and might succeed eventually.
