are there lab made white diamonds ?

[whotheyare]

i know there are labs out there making colored diamonds, have they come through with white lab made diamonds?

 

[FrekeChild]

Yes, but that is a topic that is forbidden on Pricescope.

im not asking to buy them im just asking about general information, you sure they now exist? last i heard those labs like nexus who claimed to make white lab-made diamonds they turned out to be mostly Cubic Zirconias....

The rules seem to have changed slightly and it’s now ambiguous whether discussion of man-made diamonds is permitted or not. Does ''any other man-made gemstone'' refer to stones other than diamonds or any man-made stone? Andrey, could you please clarify this for us?

Here’s the rule:

This is a diamond education site and we want to keep the focus as such.

a. Discussions related to any diamond simulants, Cubic Zirconia (CZ), Moissanite, or any other man-made gemstones are not allowed on this board.

For clarification, Andrey and I feel that ''man made'' and ''lab made/created'' are one in the same, since humans were directly involved in both cases.
As the policies stand at this time, we do not allow discussion of any ''man made'' gemstones, including diamonds per the criteria stated previously.
Currently, we want to maintain a strong focus on the foundation of the forums, which is natural diamonds. It should be known however, that we will occasionally make ''judgement calls'' on posts that we feel might be educational overall.
For example: there should be no discussions about the pros/cons between natural and man made gems.

i was only wondering if white lab made diamonds exist in retail sales or are they still too expensive to produce? just lookin for education
