Manufactured either from cubic zirconium or silicon carbide, the synthetic diamonds were first created in the 1950s in Sweden by the engineer Anders Kampe and Quintus. Even though it was new to the world at that time, the popularity of man made ones slowly came to be known to many people in the coming years. The nineteenth century witnessed the creation of artificial diamonds in huge number and many companies like the De Beers Industrial Diamonds and GE Super abrasives became leading specialists in manufacturing in their labs. Thus, the history of the creation of artificial models dates back to centuries when the use of synthetic models became popular. Gradually the popularity of artificial ones spread across the world and many countries pioneered in its creation. Now, there are an ample number of companies available dedicated with the creation of synthetic diamonds such as the United States Synthetic Diamond industry, Sumitomo Electric Hard Metal etc. Now, it is possible to create artificial ones of around 3 billion carats every year.
