Disruption in the diamond sector
b'
A few years ago you could have assumed all diamonds had been dug out of the ground \\u2013 but now it\\u2019s true that some of them have been created, at unbelievably high temperatures, in just a matter of weeks.
In the first of two Business Daily programmes about the evolving diamond market, Lesley Curwen heads to the glamorous jewellery district of Hatton Garden in London \\u2013 to see how the jewellery world is being re-shaped by the mass production of laboratory-made stones.
We hear from India how they\\u2019re created in temperatures as hot as the sun - and talk to one of the world\\u2019s biggest jewellery brands about why they are using only man-made diamonds.
We also look at claims that man-made diamonds are the green and ethical choice.
