Qu’est ce que signifie « diamant créé en laboratoire »  ?

Title:

Les diamants créés en laboratoire qui composent les bijoux Swarovski Created Diamonds ont recours à un processus innovant qui reproduit la nature dans ses moindres détails. Résultat ? Un diamant aux attributs chimiques, physiques et optiques identiques au diamant naturel. D’une intense brillance, chaque diamant est minutieusement taillé puis serti sur des montures de haute joaillerie, donnant vie à des créations captivantes, à l’éclat éternel.

Comment naissent les diamants créés en laboratoire ?

Il existe deux techniques capables de reproduire le processus de croissance du diamant : les méthodes HPHT (haute pression haute température) et CVD (dépôt chimique en phase vapeur). Deux technologies aussi brillantes que le diamant. Dans les deux cas, un microscopique grain de diamant est nourri en laboratoire d’atomes de carbone, puis soumis à une chaleur et une pression intense, formant peu à peu les couches du diamant. Chaque diamant se développe ainsi à sa manière, avec ses inclusions et son schéma de croissance uniques.

Diamants créés en laboratoire versus Diamants extraits

Le seul point qui différencie un diamant créé en laboratoire d’un diamant de mines est leur provenance. Les diamants créés en laboratoire sont parfaitement identiques aux diamants véritables et possèdent les mêmes propriétés chimiques, ainsi qu’une brillance, une dureté et un feu semblables. Tout comme l’orchidée cultivée en serre ressemble en tous points à l’espèce née en pleine nature, un diamant créé en laboratoire est tout aussi délicat qu’une pierre extraite.

Reconnus dans le monde entier, les quatre critères d’évaluation du diamant dénommés 4C sont une référence en la matière. Ils contribuent à déterminer la qualité et la valeur de chacun de nos diamants créés en laboratoire.

環境と社会に配慮した選択肢を提供し、地球とそこに暮らす人々への影響を最小限にするというSwarovskiの取り組みにおいて大きなマイルストーンとなるSwarovski Created Diamondsコレクション。GalaxyとEternityのコレクションは共に、ジュエリーの製造だけでなく、ラボグロウン・ダイヤモンドの生成、カット、研磨の全工程において再生可能エネルギーを利用したSwarovski初のCreated Diamondsコレクションです。 またSwarovski Created Diamondsコレクションは100%リサイクルゴールドを使用しており、これによってジュエリーのカーボンフットプリントの削減と希少な資源の再利用が一段と進みます。

モアサナイトとラボグロウン・ダイヤモンドの違い

Title:

ラボグロウン・ダイヤモンドは採掘されたダイヤモンドと100%同じで見分けがつきません。輝き、ファイアー、シンチレーションのいずれにおいても同じ特性を示します。一方でモアサナイトはダイヤモンドに見えるように作られていますが、組成的にも視覚的にもまったく異なるものです。さらに、耐久性、輝き、色も大きく異なります。モアサナイトは、ラボグロウン・ダイヤモンドのように4Cに基づいて鑑定されず、色のみで鑑定されます。

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 vapour 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 jewellery in terms of sizes, shapes and settings than ever before, and 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 vapour 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?

Laboratory grown diamonds are 100% the same as a mined diamond in all optical, chemical and physical aspects. Only the diamond’s origin – coming from the earth or coming from a laboratory – is different. This difference can only be identified with sophisticated laboratory equipment. Laboratory grown diamonds processed in Swarovski Created Diamonds jewelry can be identified by a laser engraving on all laboratory grown diamonds 0.25 ct and larger.

Can a Jeweler tell that a diamond is laboratory created?

No, a jeweler cannot tell the difference between a laboratory grown diamond and a mined diamond with the naked eye or using traditional jeweler’s equipment. Sophisticated instruments are required from a Gemological Institute like IGI to find out if a diamond is laboratory grown, or grown in the earth.

Could laboratory grown diamonds test as moissanite?

No, they are identical to mined diamonds possessing the same chemical composition, hardness, brilliance and fire. Both are 100% carbon.
Moissanite, while also created in a laboratory, is a silicon carbide engineered to give the illusion of similarity to diamonds, but is compositionally and visually quite different.

What is a diamond simulant?

Diamond simulants such as Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite are not diamonds in any way, but gemstones manufactured to look like diamonds which are physically, visually and compositionally very different.

Is a Cubic Zirconia the same as a laboratory grown diamond?

No, Cubic Zirconia is not the same as laboratory grown diamonds. Cubic Zirconia is a diamond simulant and is physically, visually and compositionally very different to a diamond. Conversely, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to their mined counterparts, but the way they originate.
