(Lab Grown) Diamonds are Forever? Interview with Marty Hurwitz

Finally a good use for carbon! Not only are lab-grown diamonds used in jewellery they are also critical in the development of quantum computing.

Did I mention it? There are societal and environmental benefits as well.

Today's guest is Marty Hurwitz, who has extensive experience in the jewellery and diamond industries and is here to tell us more about this fascinating technology.

Takeaways

Lab-grown diamonds have disrupted the diamond industry by offering a more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative to mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds could be grown using either high-pressure heat treatment (HPHT) or carbon vapour deposition (CVD).

Lab-grown diamonds have a wide range of applications beyond jewellery, including in semiconductors, quantum computing, and medical imaging.

The future of lab-grown diamonds looks promising, with a potential shift away from mined diamonds and increased research and development in various industries.
