A lot of puff for Diamond Foundery there. Very little substance. They raised a bunch of money from some rich people, including a movie star who participated in a movie loosly about diamond mining, and they think they can do CVD better than their competitors. Maybe. We'll see. Mostly their schtick seems to be all about selling jewelry and not one peep about selling synthetic diamonds cheaper. They charge a premium and are proud to do so. Faster production is interesting for those of us who follow these things, and I haven't a clue if it's true, but it doesn't really affect much in terms of customers. Beyond academic interest, who cares how fast their garden grows?
