Dr. H Tracy Hall
(October 20, 1919 - July 25, 2008) Dr. Hall was an American physical chemist, and the first person to produce synthetic industrial diamond in 1954, according to a reproducible, verifiable and witnessed process, using a press of his own design. The question "who invented synthetic diamond?" doesn't relate to gem quality diamonds that are created in the lab . The first diamonds made by man were used for industrial purposes such as oil & gas drilling, grinding & tools.

Are diamond nexus synthetic diamonds?
Diamond Nexus offers both synthetic diamonds(made with pure carbon) as well as diamond simulants that are not made with pure carbon, but are nearly identical to a natural diamond besides having different elements. The pure carbon gems are only available in a canary color though.
How is a synthetic diamond made?
There are two main methods to produce synthetic diamond.The original method is High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and is still the most widely used method because of its relative low cost. It uses large presses that can weigh a couple of hundred tons to produce a pressure of 5 GPa at 1,500 degrees Celsius to reproduce the conditions that created natural diamond inside the Earth over millions of years.The second method, using chemical vapor deposition or CVD, was invented in the 1980s, and is basically a method creating a carbon plasma on top of a substrate onto which the carbon atoms deposit to form diamond.Synthetic Diamond is diamond produced through chemical or physical processes in a factory. Like naturally occurring diamond it is composed of a three-dimensional carbon crystal. Due to its extreme physical properties, synthetic diamond is used in many industrial applications, and has the potential to become a serious disruptive technology in many new application areas such as electronics and medicine.Synthetic diamond is also called industrial diamond, manufactured diamond, artificial diamond or cultured diamond. Synthetic diamond is not the same as Diamond-like Carbon, DLC, which is amorphous hard carbon, or diamond imitation, which can be made of other materials such as cubic zirconia or silicon carbide.
What is the best a simulated diamond or a synthetic cultured laboratory grown diamond?
The best type of synthetic diamond would most likely be Cubic Zircona, a popular fake jewel that is much cheaper than diamond and unlike other fake jewels it will not change color or become tinted by an outside source for very extended periods of time.
How do synthetic diamonds differ from natural diamonds?
Synthetic diamonds are man made and natural diamonds are mined from the earth. Synthetic is not rare like natural. Synthetic will typically have the same color, cut, and other quality attributes and a natural stone will vary from stone to stone. Each natural stone is like a snowflake. No two are alike.
What is the difference between a diamond and a CZ?
CZ stands for Cubic Zirconia, which is a synthetic gemstone. The difference between a diamond and a CZ is that the diamond is a real gemstone. CZ weighs more than a real diamond and is more affordable.
What is economic worth of a synthetic diamond?
The value of a synthetic diamond is not as easy to determine as that of a real diamond. It's value may be exactly what a buyer will pay you for the stone.
What are the elements in a synthetic diamond?
Carbon
When was the first synthetic plastic invented?
The first synthetic plastic was invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907 and was called Bakelite.
What is the name of man made diamonds?
Synthetic diamond.
Is synthetic diamond a mineral?
A synthetic diamond is a mineral made of carbon, and possesses all the same properties as a mined diamond. It has a cubic crystalline structure, a refractive index of 2.42, dispersion of 0.044, mohs hardness of 10 and a density of 3.52.
How would you distinguish a natural diamond from a synthetic diamond?
If you are not a jeweler than the best way is to ask for gemological report at GIA, EGL, IGI. Which will confirm the origin of diamond and it's characteristics. For more information on synthetic diamond follow my link below.
Is the structure of synthetic diamonds are the same as natural diamonds?
The arrangement of atoms is the same in synthetic and natural diamond.
Who invented synthetic food coloring?

Who invented the synthetic sponge?
DuPont
How are man made diamonds made?
Synthetic diamond is produced in a process; as opposed to natural diamond, which is created in geological processes. Synthetic diamond is also widely known as HPHT diamond or CVD diamond, denoting the production method, High-Pressure High-Temperature synthesis, respectively.
Who invented synthetic hair?
Joseph Wilson Swan invented the first synthetic fibers. a English man. so far I could find.
Where can find diamond?
Diamond mines in Central & South Africa are where 50% of non-synthetic diamonds come from.
