Was bedeutet „im Labor gezüchteter Diamant“?
Title:
Im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten entstehen unter Laborbedingungen mithilfe eines innovativen Verfahrens, das den natürlichen Entstehungsprozess präzise nachbildet. Aus einem winzigen Kohlenstoffkeim gewachsen, sind im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten in ihren chemischen, physikalischen und optischen Eigenschaften nicht von natürlichen Diamanten zu unterscheiden. Die intensiv strahlenden und auf Brillanz geschliffenen Steine können in Edelmetalle gefasst und zu Echtschmuck verarbeitet werden, der mit Feuer und Leuchtkraft fasziniert.

Warum spricht man von im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten?
Als im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten werden Diamanten bezeichnet, die nicht aus der Erde stammen. Alternative Begriffe mit derselben Bedeutung sind synthetische Diamanten, künstliche Diamanten, simulierte Diamanten, Kulturdiamanten sowie im Labor hergestellte oder im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten. Swarovski Created Diamonds steht für unsere Schmuckkollektionen mit hochwertigen, im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten.
How to Distinguish Laboratory Grown Diamonds from Mined Diamonds
It’s impossible to differentiate between a laboratory grown diamond and a mined diamond with the naked eye. With professional tools, laboratory grown diamonds can be identified through laser inscriptions on the girdle, distinct fluorescent patterns shown under UV light, and unique microscopic inclusions that occur in the growing process.
Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds Better than Mined Diamonds?
The choice between laboratory grown diamonds and mined diamonds comes down to personal preference. In terms of their chemical composition, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. The universally recognised 4Cs grading system applies to both types of diamond, so buyers can choose a stone that reflects their desired cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight regardless of whether it was formed in the earth or in a laboratory.
What Is the Difference in Price Between Laboratory Grown and Mined Diamonds?
Efficient production processes mean that laboratory grown diamonds can be a more affordable option than mined diamonds. Our Founder, Daniel Swarovski, was passionate about making luxury accessible to all and laboratory grown diamonds honour this mission, offering stones of exceptional quality at tailored price points that cannot be replicated in the traditional diamond market.
Why Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds More Affordable?
There are several reasons why high-quality laboratory grown diamonds with a substantial carat weight can be purchased at more affordable prices than their mined counterparts. Streamlined production processes in the lab have lowered costs and new entrants to the markets have also ensured that laboratory grown diamonds stay competitively priced.
Swarovski Crystal vs Swarovski Created Diamonds
The creation of both Swarovski Crystals and the laboratory grown diamonds featured in our Swarovski Created Diamonds collections is a testament to the House’s innovative spirit and savoir-faire. Both are produced using the highest quality components; Swarovski Crystals use a formula that is Daniel Swarovski’s legacy while Swarovski Created Diamonds are formed from a tiny carbon seed in laboratory conditions using intense heat and pressure.
Moissanites vs Laboratory Grown Diamonds
Moissanites are a type of gemstone that shares similar qualities to diamonds. The first moissanites derived from meteorites but today, they are made from silicon carbide and crafted in labs. While laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds in every way but origin, moissanites resemble diamonds but display several differences in both composition and appearance. Moissanites have their own beauty, but their durability, brilliance, and colour are distinct to diamonds. Laboratory-grown diamonds are also graded using the 4Cs of diamond quality, while only colour is considered in moissanites.

CERTIFICATO IGI
Certificazione dei diamanti creati in laboratorio
Ogni diamante creato in laboratorio presente nelle collezioni Swarovski Created Diamonds è stato esaminato dall’IGI (Istituto Gemmologico Internazionale) per confermare la qualità di ogni pietra secondo le 4C per la valutazione del diamante. Vengono selezionati solo i diamanti creati in laboratorio più pregiati.
Come prova di origine, ogni diamante creato in laboratorio di 0,25 carati o più presenta un’incisione laser visibile solo con un forte ingrandimento.
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 – from the earth or from a laboratory – is different. This difference can only be identified with sophisticated laboratory equipment. Laboratory grown diamonds processed in Swarovski Created Diamonds jewellery can be identified by a laser engraving on all laboratory grown diamonds 0.25 ct and larger.
Can a Jeweller tell that a diamond is laboratory created?
No, a jeweller cannot tell the difference between a laboratory grown diamond and a mined diamond with the naked eye or using traditional jeweller’s equipment. Sophisticated instruments are required from a gemmological 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, except for the way they originate.
