¿Qué significa «diamante creado en laboratorio»?

Los diamantes creados en laboratorio de la joyería Swarovski Created Diamonds se desarrollan con un proceso innovador que reproduce la naturaleza a la perfección y genera un diamante idéntico a uno extraído en cuanto a propiedades químicas, físicas y ópticas. Cada diamante, de un brillo intenso y un corte maestro, se engasta finamente para crear diseños que cautivan y brillan sin límites.

Come vengono ottenuti i diamanti creati in laboratorio?

Esistono due modi di riprodurreil processo di generazione del diamante: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT, sintesi ad elevata pressione e temperatura) e Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD, sintesi a deposizione chimica da vapore). Queste tecnologie sono brillanti come i diamanti creati in laboratorio. In entrambi i casi, un minuscolo seme di diamante viene nutrito con atomi di carbonio in condizioni di laboratorio di calore e pressione intensi, per far crescere il diamante strato dopo strato. Ogni diamante si forma a suo modo, con inclusioni e modelli di crescita unici ed esclusivi.

Diamanti creati in laboratorio vs. Diamanti estratti

L’unica differenza che si riscontra quando si confrontano diamanti creati in laboratorio e diamanti estratti è la loro origine. I diamanti creati in laboratorio sono diamanti al 100%, in quanto possiedono la stessa composizione chimica, durezza, brillantezza e intensità di fuoco dei diamanti creati dalla natura. Proprio come un’orchidea coltivata in serra è identica a quella che cresce in natura, un diamante creato in laboratorio è realizzato con la stessa squisita fattura di una pietra estratta in miniera.

UNZÄHLIGE QUALITÄTEN

Zertifizierung für im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten

Alle im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten der Kollektionen Galaxy und Eternity werden vom International Gemological Institute analysiert, um die Qualität jedes einzelnen Steins basierend auf dem 4C-Qualitätssystem für Diamanten zu analysieren. Nur die feinsten im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten werden für die Kollektionen verarbeitet.

Als Herkunftsnachweis ist jeder im Labor gezüchtete Diamant mit 0,25 CT oder mehr mit einer Lasergravur gekennzeichnet. Dies ist bei intensiver Vergrößerung erkennbar und kennzeichnet ihn als authentischen Swarovski-Echtschmuck von exquisiter Schönheit.

Mit 100 % erneuerbarer Energie hergestellt

Es handelt sich für Swarovski hierbei um einen Meilenstein auf unserem Weg hin zu bewussten Entscheidungen und der Reduzierung unserer Auswirkungen auf die Erde und ihre Bewohnenden. Die Kollektionen Galaxy und Eternity sind die ersten Swarovski Created Diamonds Kollektionen, für welche innerhalb des gesamten Herstellungsverfahrens erneuerbare Energien verwendet wurden, angefangen bei Zucht über Schliff bis hin zum Polieren der im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten sowie der Herstellung der Schmuckstücke.
Außerdem werden die Swarovski Created Diamonds Kollektionen mit 100 % recyceltem Gold hergestellt, sodass der CO2-Fußabdruck des Schmucks weiter reduziert werden kann und wertvolle Ressourcen geschont werden.

Moissaniten im Vergleich mit im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten

Im Labor gezüchtete Diamanten lassen sich nicht von natürlichen Diamanten unterscheiden. Sie bieten dieselben funkelnden Eigenschaften, das Feuer und das Glitzern. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu Moissaniten, die eine Nachbildung von Diamanten sind, sich jedoch von der Zusammensetzung und in Bezug auf ihr Aussehen stark von ihnen unterscheiden. Ihre Langlebigkeit, ihr brillanter Glanz und ihre Farbe sind sehr speziell. Moissaniten werden nicht basierend auf dem 4C-System bewertet, wie dies bei im Labor gezüchteten Diamanten der Fall ist. Das einzige Kriterium, das bewertet wird, ist ihre Farbe.

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.
