<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25789866, member: 114635&quot;]Yes there are ways to tell the difference between natural and synthetic diamonds. At one time it required sophisticated lab equipment, now, I am sure there are simpler methods but I no longer practice as a gemmologist and I am not familiar with the tests or equipment to differentiate one from the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Synthetic diamonds have been around for a long time. They were manufactured so there was a consistency in shapes and sizes for industrial applications. Fifty years ago the word in the gem industry was that there was no need to worry about synthetic diamond large enough to be engagement rings because they could not be grown in large sizes. That is no longer the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
