Why Choose Laboratory Grown Diamonds?
Title:
Swarovski Created Diamonds are a unique collaboration between science and magic. Honoring nature’s brilliance with irresistible luminosity, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds in every way but how they originate, and are forging a new future for the diamond jewelry industry. They also represent better value.
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.
Swarovski created diamonds
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
Title:
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
¿Qué son los diamantes creados en laboratorio?
Los diamantes creados en laboratorio son idénticos a los diamantes extraídos. Se desarrollan a partir de una semilla en el laboratorio, y crecen capa a capa con el método de alta presión y alta temperatura (HPHT) o la deposición química en fase de vapor (CVD), que reproducen el proceso natural a lo largo de días o semanas, en lugar de millones de años en la tierra. Excepto el origen, son exactamente iguales.
¿Los diamantes creados en laboratorio son más baratos que los diamantes extraídos?
Los diamantes creados en laboratorio ofrecen la posibilidad nunca vista de poder optar fácilmente entre una gama más amplia de medidas, formas y engastes. Swarovski se enorgullece de ofrecer diseños modernos e inspiradores con diamantes de la máxima calidad, y de ofrecer piezas más grandes y de más calidad ajustadas a cada bolsillo.
¿Cómo se hacen los diamantes creados en laboratorio?
Los diamantes creados en laboratorio se someten a un innovador proceso que reproduce la naturaleza, lo que da lugar a un diamante creado en laboratorio indistinguible de un diamante extraído en cuanto a sus propiedades químicas, físicas u ópticas. Existen dos maneras de reproducir el proceso de formación del diamante: El método de alta presión y alta temperatura (HPHT) y la deposición química en fase de vapor (CVD).
La tecnología es tan brillante como los propios diamantes. En ambos casos, una diminuta semilla de diamante se nutre con átomos de carbono en condiciones de intenso calor y presión en un laboratorio, de manera que el diamante se va desarrollando capa a capa. Cada diamante se forma a su manera, con inclusiones singulares y patrones de crecimiento únicos.

¿Los diamantes creados en laboratorio son diamantes de verdad? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un diamante de laboratorio y uno de extracción?
Sí, los diamantes creados en laboratorio son diamantes al 100 %. Son idénticos a los diamantes extraídos, con la misma composición química, dureza, brillo y fuego. Las dos opciones son 100 % carbono. Uno se crea en el laboratorio, el otro en la naturaleza, como una orquídea criada en invernadero, que es idéntica a una orquídea originada en la naturaleza. La única diferencia es el origen.
¿Los diamantes creados en laboratorio y los diamantes extraídos son iguales?
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.
