Synthetic diamonds maybe, but synthetic rubies were around a hundred years ago, and even with diamonds it seems clear that it's only a matter of time (if we're not already there). I hear that synthetic emeralds are actually preferred to natural emeralds for jewelry because they're significantly prettier.
Big nice rubies were produced a hundred years ago, but I'm pretty sure that even today they are distinguishable. It's just a matter of time, yet the prices do not seem to reflect that. And that's not just an illusion of jeweler's markup, but resale value.
