Stay tuned. Soon the startups will move to plain ol' clear, perfect diamonds, and we can watch DeBeers move straight from annoyance to conniption.

They had mentioned the clear ones take longer and the colored ones are hotter at this point.
And what of the Boston variety, where they are only distinguishable from "real" diamonds through their perfection? I think this will make a good movie when DeBeers has all of these guys killed off.
