Your question is a valid query that is best answered by the process of supply and demand, which includes a distribution channel for each and marketing efforts for gem-quality stones.

These days, both high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) crystal formation technologies only produce about 2% of all gem-quality diamonds. Because the ancillary properties of diamond material -- i.e., conductivity, insulation -- can be controlled in the synthetic production process, the industrial application of diamond material may drive improved technologies.

Naturally occurring diamond material represents about 80% of all diamond material mined.

What are genuine diamonds?

Genuine (natural) diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, erupted to the surface through volcanic pipes and mined or gathered. Genuine (man-made) diamonds are formed in laboratories that attempt to mimic the conditions deep within the earth -- extreme high pressure and ultra high temperature -- and are manufactured over time. About 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds. Raw gem-quality diamonds are cut and polished into jewels. All diamonds are formed from carbon.
