Very small diamonds can be created using detonation.

Side note: Jornado del Muerto translates to English as Journey of Death.

Isn't this solely because De Beers wants to keep the product of their mines artificially priced higher? So they come up with phrases to make lab grown diamonds sound less than the ones they mine?
