FAQ SYNTHETIC DIAMONDS

•  Are Synthetic Diamonds Real Diamonds?

Absolutely! A Laboratory-Created Diamond Is Indeed Authentic. Synthetic Diamonds Possess Identical Optical, Physical, and Chemical Properties as Diamonds Mined from the Earth, Along with the Same Crystalline Structure. The Only Difference Lies in Their Origin. Even Experts Cannot Distinguish Between Them with the Naked Eye.

• How Are Synthetic Diamonds Created?

Natural Diamonds Form Over Billions of Years Deep Beneath the Earth's Surface, Undergoing Extreme Temperature and Pressure Conditions That Transform Carbon Molecules into Crystallized Carbon, Which Is Raw Diamond.

Through the Alternative Laboratory Growth Method, Natural Conditions Are Meticulously Replicated in a Controlled Environment, Enabling the Duplication of the Growth Process.

Two Primary Methods Are Employed:

• The HPHT Method Involves a Small Diamond Seed Encircled by Carbon, the Fundamental Component of Diamonds. This Seed Is Exposed to Intense Heat and Pressure, Mirroring Natural Growth Conditions. The Carbon Melts and Deposits Around the Seed, Giving Rise to the Diamond.
• The CVD Method Positions a Diamond Seed Within a Vacuum Chamber Filled with Carbon-Rich Gases, and Subsequently Heats It to Exceedingly High Temperatures. Due to the Heat, the Gas Transforms into Plasma, Liberating Carbon Particles. These Particles Accumulate Around the Diamond Seed, Facilitating Its Growth. The Resultant Rough Diamond Is Then Meticulously Cut and Polished, Revealing Its Brilliance and Splendor.

• Why Do We Prefer Synthetic Diamonds?

Laboratory-Grown Diamonds Actively Contribute to a More Sustainable Future by Offering an Ethical and Environmentally-Friendly Alternative to Mined Diamonds. Diamond Mining Leaves a Considerable Carbon Footprint and Inflicts Irreversible Damage to the Environment.

The Extraction of Just One Carat of Mined Diamonds Entails the Destruction and Displacement of 250 to 350 Tons of Ore, Whereas the Environmental Impact of Synthetic Diamonds Is Significantly Diminished.

Unlike Mined Diamonds, Laboratory-Grown Diamonds Have No Association with Conflicts Fueled by Blood Diamonds and Do Not Involve Human Exploitation, Such as Child Labor, Forced Labor, or Human Rights Violations.

Furthermore, They Eliminate the Risks Associated with Mining Accidents.

• Are Synthetic Diamonds Certified in the Same Manner as Mined Diamonds?

Absolutely. Once Cut into Rough Diamonds, Both "Mined" and "Laboratory-Grown" Diamonds Undergo Transformation into Polished Gemstones.

Synthetic Diamonds, Akin to Their Mined Counterparts, Exhibit Distinct Variations in Color and Clarity and May Also Feature Inclusions Stemming from the Growth Process. Consequently, Each Synthetic Diamond Is Genuinely Unique.

Subsequent to Their Cutting, Synthetic Diamonds Are Subject to Grading Using the Same Scale as Mined Diamonds, Referred to as the "4 Cs." They Undergo Evaluation, Analysis, Description, and Classification Based on the Same Criteria as Mined Diamonds by Internationally Recognized Gemological Laboratories Such as IGI, GCAL, GIA, and More.

Finally, They Receive a Certificate Detailing Their Individual Size, Color, Purity, and Carat Weight.
