There are now two technologies for making diamonds in a laboratory that are virtually indistinguishable from the natural crystals mined from the earth. Apollo Diamond, a Boston firm, has developed a method of growing perfect diamonds in a pressurized chamber, and plans to start selling colored and colorless diamonds this summer. Gemesis, a firm in Sarasota, Florida, has perfected a technology that uses high pressures and temperatures to mimic the way diamonds form naturally in the earth.
