    Hello folks, Recently the price of rough diamonds has been increased
    by 5 to 10% the supply of rough was at this time very short, probably
    due to the companies which control the industries, and  given that
    there several companies making diamonds in their laboratories which
    are Diamonds nevertheless despite being made by man and not by nature
    my question is- 

    How, since the price of these manufactured stones is to be  one
    third Less than the naturally produced article, can this increase in
    the price of rough possibly be justified and the natural Diamond
    price increased so as to match the 10% rough increase, which will
    have to be done to maintain the margins of the processors involved. 

    I understand that from at least one of these companies that produce
    lab diamonds that the quality of the product is equal to and very
    often exceeds that of the natural item maybe I am missing a fact or
    two but it seems to me that something is seriously wrong with the
    valuation procedure. please Fellow Orchidians and no doubt Diamond
    experts- correct my faulty reasoning, in any case your replies should
    make interesting reading, regards Dave (in Darkest Africa).
