Some high-end faux dimonds are compressed carbon that is usually just a lower grade than natural dimonds, although I'm pretty sure these are mostly bought up for industrial use. The majority you see are cubic zirconia and the really cheap stuff is glass.

Not compressed, that's how "real" ones are made. The man made diamonds are made by vapor depositation and are better than "real" ones.

Duh...TW covered that. Must learn to read to the end, first.
