It's amazing there's still a market for diamonds at all now this is
possible.

 
Old record players used diamond needles, I have read vinyl is 'in' again
these days Audiophiles will pay big money for superior sound.

They had no choice. That was back in the days when natural diamonds were
the only game in town, De Beers controlled the price of these gems and
only Superman could make them artificially (from lumps of coal IIRC).
