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.
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
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?
除來源外,實驗室製造的鑽石與開採的鑽石在其他方面無異。它們與開採出來的鑽石具有相同的化學成分、硬度、亮度和火光。兩者都是 100% 的碳。 一個誕生於實驗室,另一個誕生於大自然,就像溫室培育的蘭花與大自然中的蘭花完全一樣。唯一的區別在於它們的來源。
培育鑽石和開採的鑽石一樣嗎?
培育鑽石與開採的鑽石在光學、化學和物理方面都是 100% 相同的。只有兩者的來源不同,一種來自地球的大自然,一種來自實驗室。其中的不同之處只有透過精密的實驗室設備才能辨別出來。Swarovski Created Diamonds 首飾中所有 0.25 克拉和以上的培育鑽石都可以透過雷射雕刻來識別。
珠寶商能分辨出鑽石是實驗室製造的嗎?
不能,珠寶商無法用肉眼或使用傳統的珠寶商設備來辨別培育鑽石和開採的鑽石。要分辨一顆鑽石是實驗室培育的,還是在地下生長的,需要使用像 IGI 這樣的專業機構提供的先進儀器。
培育鑽石的檢測結果會與莫桑石相同嗎?
不會,培育鑽石與開採的鑽石具有相同的化學成分、硬度、亮光和火光。兩者都是 100% 的碳。
莫桑石雖然也是在實驗室中製造出來的,但它是一種碳化矽,設計上給人一種與鑽石相似的錯覺,但在成分和視覺上卻大相徑庭。

什麼是仿製鑽石?
無論如何,仿製鑽石(例如:立方氧化鋯和莫桑石) 都不是鑽石,而是打造成鑽石外觀的寶石,其物理、視覺和成分方面都與鑽石大相徑庭。
立方氧化鋯與培育鑽石一樣嗎?
不一樣,立方氧化鋯與培育鑽石不同。立方氧化鋯是一種鑽石模擬物,在物理、視覺和成分上都與鑽石大不相同。相反地,除了來源不同,培育鑽石與開採出來的鑽石在其他方面 是100% 相同的。
