Artificial diamonds were first produced on February 16, 1953 in Stockholm, Sweden. The production of smaller artificial diamonds and especially diamond dust has become an important industry with General Electric at the forefront. General Electric, along with Sumitomo Electric and De Beers marketed their synthetic stones as heat sinks for electronics and used them solely for research purposes. Other companies producing artificial diamonds are Gemesis and Apollo.

Artificial diamonds have several distinguishing characteristics:

  • Gemesis artificial diamonds have a yellow tint which is rare in natural diamonds and therefore a valuable aesthetic trait
  • Apollo artificial diamonds are produced with various colors including colorless, pink, blue, honey brown, and even black
  • Most artificial diamonds are less than one carat in the rough
