Other Synthetic Diamond Companies
- Gemesis: As of end of 2011, the company appears to be in production and taking media inquiries only at this point.
- Apollo: Purchased by another company earlier in 2011 and registered under the name Scio Diamonds.
- Please note that there is a substantial difference between “synthetic diamonds” and “diamond simulants”. Simulants are often confused with synthetics. If you see a price of a gold or platinum ring set with stones for under $1500, it will most likely be a diamond simulant.
