Was bedeutet es, wenn ein Diamant im Labor gezüchtet wurde?

Title:
Die im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten der Swarovski Created Diamonds Schmuckstücke werden im Rahmen eines innovativen Prozesses produziert, bei welchem die Natur nachgeahmt wird. Das Ergebnis sind Diamanten, die bei Vergleich aller chemischen, physikalischen und optischen Attribute nicht von natürlichen Diamanten zu unterscheiden sind. Sie strahlen intensiv hell und zeichnen sich durch meisterhafte Schliffe aus. Jeder Diamant findet seinen Platz in einer Echtschmuck-Kreation, die ewig erstrahlen wird.

Wie werden im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten hergestellt?

Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten, um den Entstehungsprozess von Diamanten nachzuahmen: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature: hoher Druck, hohe Temperatur) und CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition: chemisches Aufdampfverfahren). Die Technologien sind genauso brillant wie die Diamanten selbst. In beiden Fällen wird ein winziger Diamantkeim unter Laborbedingungen bei hohen Temperaturen und hohem Druck mit Kohlenstoffatomen genährt, sodass der Diamant Schicht für Schicht wachsen kann. Jeder Diamant bildet sich auf seine ganz eigene Art und Weise mit einzigartigen Einschlüssen und Wachstumsmustern.

Unterschiede: Labor Diamant vs Echter Diamant

Der einzige Unterschied bei einem Vergleich mit im Labor gezüchteten und abgebauten Diamanten ist die Herkunft. Im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten sind zu 100 % Diamanten mit derselben Zusammensetzung, Härte, demselben brillanten Glanz und demselben Feuer wie die Kreationen der Natur. Genau wie eine in einem Gewächshaus gezüchtete Orchidee einer natürlich gewachsenen Variante in nichts nachsteht, sind im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten genauso exquisit wie ein abgebauter Edelstein.

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

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?

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.
