Generally speaking, manufactured diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties of diamonds which are dug from the earth. So, yes, they are real. A certified gemologist will be able to discern a manufactured diamond, and will document it as such. Its value is considerably less than a natural diamond of similar characteristics.
Manufactured diamonds are not natural diamonds. There are other man-made gemsones which are presented as diamond substitutes. Those are not real diamonds either.

∙ 13y agoLab created diamonds are real diamonds, in every aspect (physically, chemically and optically). Lab diamonds grown for jewelry use are gem-grade (higher clarity, color, etc). vs. industrial diamonds are grown more in bulk and without regard for color (since they will just be used for cutting and polishing rather than display). There is only a limited amount of sellers offering real lab diamonds. Unfortunately many sites play on customer ignorance by selling cubic zirconia and proclaiming them to be "lab grown diamonds". All lab grown diamonds will be sold with an independent grading report verifying it is a real diamond. CZ sellers will not be able to issue such a report since it is not a real diamond. I've attached two links, one for industrial diamonds (sumitomo) and one for gem grade lab diamonds (Takara diamonds - pink yellow and blue diamonds). Note that white lab diamonds are not available yet on any regular basis due to whites being much harder to grow. Prior answer: Industrial grade diamonds are real diamonds but do not sparkle with clairity like a natural diamond will. Industrial diamonds are made with graphite (carbon) that is pressed and heated to re-align the carbon molecules to force the carbon to crystalize into a molecular pattern that natural diamonds are made by the heat and pressure of the center of our planet earth. Industrial diamonds are not made for jewery, but for drilling, grinding, polishing and machining in industry where only the hardest substance known to man will work.

Supposedly the only way to distinguish the best manufactured white diamond from a real diamond is the fake diamonds are flawless, and no real diamond can be truly flawless.
