Best Answer

Diamonds are made artificially by simulating the conditions deep in the mantle where natural diamonds are formed: very high pressure and very high temperature. Any source of carbon can be used (I saw a documentary on making diamonds once where they used peanut butter to provide the carbon).

Synthetic diamonds will always be less expensive than natural diamonds, therefore the jewelry business now requires natural diamonds that have been cut to have LASER etched identification codes to prove authenticity. This only became necessary after techniques were perfected to reliably get colorless synthetic diamonds.
