Principios y factores de la pureza
La pureza de un diamante creado en laboratorio viene determinada por sus imperfecciones. El carácter y el encanto irrepetibles de cada piedra dependen de sus inclusiones e imperfecciones, muchas de las cuales solo son visibles con microscopio. La escala de pureza de los diamantes varía de Perfecto (FL) a Con inclusiones (I3). En el extremo inferior de la escala, las inclusiones pueden afectar a la transparencia, el brillo y la durabilidad del diamante.

Tabla de purezas de los diamantes creados en laboratorio
Title:Clasificaciones y escala de la pureza de los diamantes
Subtitle:
La escala de pureza de los diamantes sirve para indicar la claridad de una piedra en función de dos características naturales: las inclusiones y las imperfecciones. El número, la naturaleza, el tamaño y la ubicación de las características externas (imperfecciones) e internas (inclusiones) establecen la clasificación de pureza de un diamante. Las clasificaciones de pureza de los diamantes vienen determinadas por las condiciones de visualización estándar con un aumento de 10×. “IF” indica un diamante internamente perfecto, mientras que “I3” representa un diamante con inclusiones evidentes y visibles.
¿Qué es la talla del diamante?
La calidad de la talla depende de la técnica artesanal empleada. El término se refiere a la forma en que las facetas de cada diamante interactúan con la luz y revelan su fuego interno. La talla le da a cada piedra una personalidad diferenciada. Y depurar las proporciones, la simetría y los ángulos precisos de los diamantes creados en laboratorio facilita que el tallado maximice el brillo.
Principios y factores de la talla
La calidad de la talla de un diamante creado en laboratorio se fundamenta en sus proporciones, simetría y pulido. Una talla experta significa elaborar varias facetas a la perfección que absorban y reflejen la luz, de modo que la piedra emita destellos desde cualquier ángulo. Al evaluar la talla, las personas especialistas en clasificación tienen en cuenta el aspecto visto desde arriba, el diseño y la técnica artesanal propios del diamante.
Formas de los diamantes creados en laboratorio
Las colecciones Swarovski Created Diamonds presentan una selección de formas y tallas de diamantes creados en laboratorio. La forma de un diamante creado en laboratorio se refiere a su contorno o forma externa vistos desde la corona. La talla es un indicador de calidad: refleja, por un lado, la perfección de las facetas de la piedra y el pulido de esta; y, por otro, el grado de elaboración de los ángulos y las proporciones de cada una de las facetas de modo que interactúen con la luz. Las formas de Swarovski Created Diamonds que tenemos en nuestro catálogo te permitirán reflejar el estilo que define tu personalidad. Además, al estar compuestas por piedras cuyas tallas maximizan el brillo, le darán ese toque de luminosidad extra a cualquier look.
Principios y factores del color
El color más deseable en un diamante es la ausencia total de color. Las piedras incoloras alcanzan precios muy altos, pero también son extremadamente raras, mientras que los diamantes de menor calidad posiblemente adopten tonos amarillos o marrones. La escala de colores de los diamantes comprende de D a Z, y las colecciones Swarovski Created Diamonds solo utilizan diamantes creados en laboratorio con una clasificación de color D-G.

Escala de color de los diamantes
El color del diamante se califica en una escala de D a Z. Las calificaciones D a F denotan piedras incoloras, mientras que las calificaciones S a Z aparecen en tonos de amarillo o marrón claros. Las joyas Swarovski Created Diamonds solo emplean los mejores diamantes creados en laboratorio, lo que significa que estos oscilan entre incoloros y casi incoloros (D-G).
¿Qué es el peso en quilates de un diamante?
El quilate es la unidad de peso que se utiliza para medir todas las piedras preciosas, incluidos los diamantes creados en laboratorio. Cuando se comparan diamantes, es posible que uno tenga más quilates que otro sin que parezca más grande, o que dos diamantes cuyo peso en quilates sea el mismo difieran en tamaño si uno está tallado con más profundidad que el otro. Un quilate pesa la quinta parte de un gramo y se divide en 100 puntos.

Diamond Carat Weight Chart
Title:Laboratory grown diamond carat scale
Subtitle:
Carats are the international standard unit of measurement for the weight of a diamond. It derives from the word ‘carob’, a seed that was used as a diamond weight reference for traders in the ancient world. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams so a five carat diamond will weigh one gram. Diamond carat doesn’t equate to the size of a stone, it simply refers to how much it weighs, and diamonds usually become more expensive as their carat weight increases.
Quality Assured
Every laboratory grown diamond set in Swarovski Created Diamonds fine jewelry is assessed and certified by the IGI (International Gemological Institute), using the universally recognized 4Cs. The cut, clarity, color, and carat of each stone determines its quality and worth. Swarovski only uses high quality laboratory grown diamonds rated G+ in color and VS+ in clarity.

Frequently asked questions
Diamond 4Cs FAQs
What are the 4Cs?
Every diamond varies slightly from the next and has its own individual distinguishing characteristics. Laboratory grown diamonds are 100% diamonds, and just like mined diamonds our laboratory grown diamonds are evaluated according to the 4Cs of diamond grading. The 4Cs are color, clarity, cut and carat weight, and they are the globally accepted standards used to assess the quality of diamonds.
Is diamond clarity important?
The higher the clarity grading, the less inclusions or blemishes a diamond has, making it a higher-value diamond than one with a lower grading.
What is the highest diamond clarity?
Diamond clarity is a measure of the purity of the stone graded by the visibility of two types of characteristics - inclusions and blemishes.
In order to assess clarity, the diamond is inspected under 10x power magnification. The number and nature of external (blemishes), and internal characteristics (inclusions), as well as their size and position, determine the grade.
Gemologists grade diamonds from Internally Flawless (IF) as the highest quality to Included (I3).

Are laboratory grown diamonds flawless?
No, nearly all diamonds (mined or laboratory grown) have inclusions. Metallic inclusions can occur in laboratory grown diamonds. If an expert spots a trace of metal in a diamond, they can assume it is laboratory grown. While laboratory grown diamonds with defects do exist, Swarovski only uses high quality laboratory grown diamonds certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) according to the 4Cs to ensure that only the finest quality diamonds join the Swarovski Created Diamond collections.
Do laboratory grown diamonds get cloudy?
No, laboratory-grown diamonds do not get cloudy over time. They are 100% identical to diamonds with the same physical and chemical properties, and should not degrade or change appearance over time. Where poor quality diamond seeds have been used, some laboratory-grown diamonds contain obvious defects, such as color tinges from impurities in the diamond or crystal structure imperfections. The laboratory grown diamonds processed in Swarovski Created Diamonds jewelry are a very high quality standard and do not have unnatural, problematic characteristics.
How are laboratory grown diamonds certified and graded?
The laboratory grown diamonds processed in Swarovski Created Diamonds jewelry are hand-selected and examined by experienced gemologists to ensure they fulfill our high quality standards. Every piece of jewelry in the Galaxy and Eternity collections is accompanied with a digital laboratory report from the International Gemological Institute (IGI).
What are diamond facets?
Diamond facets refer to each flat surface that creates the shape of a diamond. Every diamond possesses multiple facets that enable it to absorb and reflect light.
How is diamond cut quality determined?
We often think of a diamond’s cut as shape (round, heart, oval, marquise, pear), but what diamond cut actually does mean is how well a diamond’s facets interact with light. The cut of a diamond is the measure of the quality of the shape, geometry and finish of the diamond. Round brilliant diamonds receive a formal cut grade on a scale from Ideal (the best) to Poor. Swarovski is uncompromising on cut quality to ensure all of our laboratory grown diamonds have optimal light performance and sparkle.
What is the best diamond cut?
Cut refers to how a diamond’s facets interact with light to reveal its internal fire. It is the cut that gives each diamond its personality, and perfecting laboratory grown diamonds proportions, symmetry, and precision-cut angles of Swarovski Created Diamonds gives them their brilliant shine. The best cut has a balance between the width and depth to create symmetry, neither to shallow nor to deep. Creating the perfect refraction point for light through the diamond, reflecting it within the diamond and highlighting its polished brightness.
How is a diamond’s color determined?
Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each diamond against a master set then assign a letter grade from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow).
The closer the diamond is to being colorless, the higher its quality.
The closer the diamond is to being colorless, the higher its quality.
Do laboratory created diamonds have blemishes?
Where poor quality diamond seeds have been used, some laboratory-grown diamonds contain obvious defects, such as color tinges from impurities or structural imperfections. Swarovski does not sell laboratory grown diamonds with unnatural, problematic characteristics.
What is diamond carat weight?
Il carato è l’unità utilizzata specificamente per determinare il peso delle pietre preziose, compresi i diamanti creati in laboratorio. Un diamante può avere un peso in carati superiore senza per questo essere di dimensioni maggiori, e due diamanti dello stesso peso in carati possono avere dimensioni diverse se uno viene tagliato più in profondità dell’altro. Un carato pesa un quinto di grammo ed è suddiviso in 100 punti.
Che cos’è il peso in carati di un diamante, come si misura e quanto è importante?
Il peso in carati è l’unità di peso standard dei diamanti e la prima caratteristica che viene presa in considerazione per il processo di valutazione. Il peso in carati del diamante è la determinazione del peso del diamante. Ogni carato può essere suddiviso in 100 “punti”. Ciò consente misurazioni precise al centesimo decimale. Il peso di un diamante inferiore a un carato può essere definito esclusivamente dai suoi “punti”. Più grande è il diamante, maggiori saranno i carati, ma solo tu puoi decidere che importanza dare alla grandezza.
È meglio avere un diamante di caratura superiore?
Questa è una questione del tutto personale. Se desideri un diamante più grande, opta per una caratura superiore poiché questa indica il peso e quindi la dimensione del diamante.
