Why is a created diamond less valuable than one found in nature?

i don't understand. if the chemical components are exactly the same, and a created diamond is made the same way it is made in nature, then why would it be worth less?|||Natural diamonds are more expensive because they take millions of years to form, not just a few years in a lab. Natural diamonds can not be replaced like man made ones can. You are paying for something that will eventually run out. Kind of like oil.





Then there's all the people who risked their lives to mine the diamonds.





And everyone has to get paid. The miners, the people who sell them to the whole sellers, the whole sellers have to make money, and the store selling the finished product has to make money.|||It's just a prestige thing. The natural diamonds are worth so much because they are so rare, not because their makeup is inherently valuable. That's all.|||For obvious reasons.
