The search for making imitation diamonds came as early as 1772 when the eminent French Scientist named, Antoine Lavoisier did an experiment where he showed that gas produced when a diamond burned similarly to that produced when charcoal burned. Many of the same experiments followed years later until the 1950s when a final breakthrough came as a result of scientists being able to reproduced diamonds by crystallizing carbon making it into crystals from silicon carbide. Since then, growing synthetic diamonds has become a popular way of reproducing the original gemstone into larger quantities for man's different purposes and at affordable prices.
