But after a half-century of trial and error, that may be changing. Several diamondmaking companies are starting to produce high-quality diamonds to rival the stones emerging from...

Although making kids' clothes might seem to be a simple matter of adapting design and manufacturing techniques to smaller sizes, he and others say it's much trickier. To cover the 0-to-14-year-old market requires 25 sizes with drastically different designs depending on whether a baby is lying down or starting to sit up, or whether he or she is still in diapers. Most items must be washable, and they must be comfortable?no scratchy fabrics...
