Che cosa significa diamante creato in laboratorio?

I diamanti creati in laboratorio che impreziosiscono i gioielli Swarovski Created Diamonds vengono ottenuti mediante un processo innovativo che replica perfettamente la natura, dando vita ad una pietra che non differisce da un diamante estratto in miniera per attributi chimici, fisici e ottici. Di una brillantezza intensa e magistralmente tagliato, ogni diamante è incastonato su una montatura di alta gioielleria per creare design attraenti che risplendono di una radiosità inestinguibile.

Come vengono ottenuti i diamanti creati in laboratorio?

Esistono due modi di riprodurreil processo di generazione del diamante: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT, sintesi ad elevata pressione e temperatura) e Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD, sintesi a deposizione chimica da vapore). Queste tecnologie sono brillanti come i diamanti creati in laboratorio. In entrambi i casi, un minuscolo seme di diamante viene nutrito con atomi di carbonio in condizioni di laboratorio di calore e pressione intensi, per far crescere il diamante strato dopo strato. Ogni diamante si forma a suo modo, con inclusioni e modelli di crescita unici ed esclusivi.

Diamanti creati in laboratorio vs. Diamanti estratti

L’unica differenza che si riscontra quando si confrontano diamanti creati in laboratorio e diamanti estratti è la loro origine. I diamanti creati in laboratorio sono diamanti al 100%, in quanto possiedono la stessa composizione chimica, durezza, brillantezza e intensità di fuoco dei diamanti creati dalla natura. Proprio come un’orchidea coltivata in serra è identica a quella che cresce in natura, un diamante creato in laboratorio è realizzato con la stessa squisita fattura di una pietra estratta in miniera.

MYRIAD QUALITIES

Laboratory Grown Diamond Certification

All the laboratory grown diamonds adorning the Galaxy and Eternity collections are analyzed by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, to confirm the quality of each stone according to the 4Cs of diamond assessment. Only the finest laboratory grown diamonds are permitted in the Collections.

As proof of origin, every laboratory grown diamond that is 0.25ct or larger carries a laser engraving. This is visible only under strong magnification identifying it as an authentic Swarovski jewel of exquisite beauty.

Made with 100% Renewable Energy

This is a milestone for Swarovski on our journey to provide a conscious choice and minimize the impact on our planet and its inhabitants. Galaxy and Eternity are the first Swarovski Created Diamonds Collections made using renewable energy in the entire process of growing, cutting and polishing laboratory grown diamonds, as well as the production of the jewelry pieces.
The Swarovski Created Diamonds collections are also made with 100% recycled gold, which further reduces the CO2 footprint of the jewelry, and repurposes precious resources

Moissanites vs Laboratory Grown Diamonds

Laboratory grown diamonds are indistinguishable from mined diamonds. They exhibit the same properties of sparkle, fire, and scintillation. Moissanites, however, are engineered to give the illusion of diamonds but compositionally and visually they are quite different. Their durability, brilliance, and color are quite distinct. Moissanites are not graded against the 4Cs like laboratory grown diamonds, they are only graded for their color.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What are laboratory grown diamonds?

Laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds. They are just grown from a ‘seed’ in a laboratory, building layer upon layer using HPHT (high pressure high temperature) or CVD (chemical vapor deposition) to replicate the natural process over several days or weeks, rather than in the earth over millions of years. Aside from their origin, they are exactly the same.

Are laboratory grown diamonds less expensive than mined diamonds?

Laboratory grown diamonds offer the freedom to explore more breadth of jewelry in terms of sizes, shapes and settings than ever before, more easily. Swarovski is proud to offer modern, inspired designs with premium quality diamonds, meaning you get larger and higher quality stones tailored to every price point.

How are laboratory grown diamonds made?

Laboratory grown diamonds are made using an innovative process that flawlessly replicates nature, resulting in a laboratory grown diamond that is indistinguishable from a mined diamond in all chemical, physical, and optical attributes. There are two ways to replicate the diamond formation process: HPHT (high pressure high temperature) and CVD (chemical vapor deposition).
The technology is as brilliant as the laboratory grown diamonds themselves. In both cases, a tiny diamond seed is nurtured with carbon atoms under laboratory conditions of intense heat and pressure, forming layer by layer. Each laboratory grown diamond forms in its own way, with one-of-a-kind inclusions and unique growth patterns.

Are laboratory grown diamonds real diamonds? What is the difference between laboratory and mined?

Yes, laboratory created diamonds are 100% diamonds. They are identical to mined diamonds possessing the same chemical composition, hardness, brilliance and fire. Both are 100% carbon. One is born in a laboratory, the other one in nature - just as a greenhouse-grown orchid is identical to one found in nature. The only difference is their origin.

Are laboratory grown diamonds and mined diamonds the same?

Im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten gleichen im Hinblick auf alle optischen, chemischen und physikalischen Aspekte zu 100 % abgebauten Diamanten. Mit Ausnahme der Herkunft des Diamanten – der eine stammt aus der Erde, der andere aus einem Labor. Dieser Unterschied lässt sich jedoch nur mit spezialisierter Laborausstattung feststellen. Im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten, die für Swarovski Created Diamonds Echtschmuck verarbeitet werden, sind an einer Lasergravur zu erkennen, die wir auf allen im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten ab 0,25 CT anbringen.

Kann ein Juwelier sehen, ob ein Diamant im Labor gezüchtet wurde?

Nein, ein Juwelier kann den Unterschied zwischen einem im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten und einem geschürften Diamanten nicht mit dem bloßen Auge erkennen und selbst mit herkömmlichen Instrumenten für diesen Zweck in der Regel nicht. Hierfür braucht es eine spezielle Fachausrüstung eines gemmologischen Instituts, wie beispielsweise das IGI. Nur so kann herausgefunden werden, ob ein Diamant im Labor gezüchtet wurde oder in der Erde gewachsen ist.

Könnten im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten als Moissanit getestet werden?

Nein, sie gleichen natürlichen Diamanten, weil sie dieselbe chemische Zusammensetzung, Härte, denselben brillanten Glanz und dasselbe Feuer aufweisen. Beide bestehen zu 100 % aus Kohlenstoff.
Bei Moissanit, der auch im Labor gezüchtet wird, handelt es sich um entwickeltes Siliziumcarbid, das an einen Diamanten erinnert, sich jedoch von der Zusammensetzung sowie visuell stark davon unterscheidet.

Was ist eine Diamantimitation?

Diamantimitationen wie Cubic Zirkonia oder Moissanit sind keine echten Diamanten, sondern Edelsteine, die so verarbeitet wurden, dass sie aussehen wie ein Diamant, die sich jedoch physikalisch, optisch und in der Zusammensetzung stark unterscheiden.

Ist ein Cubic Zirkonia dasselbe wie ein gezüchteter Diamant?

Nein, ein Cubic Zirkonia ist nicht dasselbe wie ein im Labor gezüchteter Diamant. Ein Cubic Zirkonia ist eine Diamantimitation, der sich physikalisch, visuell und in der Zusammensetzung stark von einem Diamanten unterscheidet. Im Gegensatz dazu gleichen im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten zu 100 % ihren abgebauten Pendants, mit Ausnahme der Herkunft.
