Replicating what’s happening deep underground is difficult, time-consuming and expensive, but the end result is the same as what’s been mined for centuries. There are easier ways to do this, but only the process we use, replicating nature to rearrange atoms to grow beautiful diamonds as unique as fingerprints. We do this because we care …
