developments in recent years has been the commercial availability of jewelry-quality synthetic diamonds. What for almost three decades was primarily an industrial or research product is now becoming a commodity in the gem and jewelry marketplace. In addition to the products being offered by such companies as the Gemesis Corp. and Lucent Diamonds, Chatham Created Gems of San Francisco, California, has introduced a line of synthetic diamonds from a new source (figure 1). This article presents results of our examination of a large group of these high pressure/high temperature (HPHT) laboratory-grown diamonds in yellow, blue, green, and pink colors showing a full range of saturation, from weak to strong. Our examination indicates that most of the yellows and blues represent “as-grown” colors (i.e., those produced by nitrogen and boron impurities during diamond crystallization), while the greens and pinks are the result of either growth or growth plus post-growth treatment processes (i.e., irradiation, with or without subsequent heating). A single manufacturer is supplying Chatham Created Gems with approximately 500 carats of synthetic diamond crystals per month, with future increases in production planned (T. Chatham, pers. comm., 2004). The material is faceted in China into cut goods that range from a few points (melee) to as large as 2 ct. Chatham Created Gems is the sole distributor of this material for jewelry purposes. Previous gemological reports on synthetic diamonds produced in Russia and sold by Mr. Chatham (see, e.g., Scarratt et al., 1996) may not be applicable to the new HPHT-grown material described here, which is grown in Asia with a non-BARS press. This article provides information on material from all four color categories of this new product, including descriptions of green and pink synthetic diamonds, which have not been reported on extensively in the gemological literature. Most of the green samples display this color because they contain both blue and yellow growth sectors. Some of this new material displays hues and weaker saturations that more closely resemble natural diamonds
