A different diamond company

Diamonds have always been found in nature. The De Beers company is the world's largest in this field and somehow dominates the global diamond market.

But this is not an obstacle for the existence of other smaller companies that "manufacture" diamonds. These synthetic diamonds are known as CVD diamonds and are achieved through high pressure and high temperature synthesis, and in addition to jewelry they are used in many other industrial applications.

Not long ago I heard about a company called Aether Diamonds that makes synthetic diamonds with the CO2 from the air. It turns a polluting element into something beautiful and/or industrial. A truly original idea that I think is worth publicizing.

They are laboratory-grown diamonds, and the company assures that they do so without generating any contamination, since all their industrial processes are supported by ecological energy.

In their production process, they obtain CO2 from the air, to later synthesize it into hydrocarbon, and by vapor depositions the diamond crystal grows and after a few weeks are obtained rough diamonds that will later be cut.

The company insists that it uses clean energy throughout the process so as not to pollute, and that makes its products somewhat more expensive than conventional synthetic diamonds. But they have the advantage of having been made without polluting our environment.

I like the idea because it "proves" once again that we can get products similar to the ones we have, but made with other non-polluting processes.

This happens with other products, and the "problem" is always the cost. The differentiation of the products must be well explained to potential customers, because depending on the product and the price, there may be more customers than we think who are willing to pay the difference.

And these new non-polluting products, the more they are produced, the more their prices will drop and they will be more competitive every day.

I congratulate the people of Aether for their idea and I wish them the best.
