¿Qué significa “diamantes creados en laboratorio”?
Title:
Los diamantes creados en laboratorio son piedras formadas en un entorno de laboratorio a través de un proceso innovador que imita la naturaleza a la perfección. Es imposible distinguir los diamantes creados en laboratorio, que provienen de una pequeña semilla de carbono, de los diamantes extraídos: todos los atributos físicos, químicos y ópticos son idénticos. Este tipo de piezas, caracterizadas por su intenso resplandor y cuyas tallas están orientadas a maximizar su brillo, puede engastarse en metales preciosos, dando lugar así a joyería fina que refulge con un fuego y una luminosidad infinitos.

¿Por qué se llaman “diamantes creados en laboratorio”?
La denominación “diamantes creados en laboratorio” sirve para describir diamantes que no se forman en el subsuelo. Otros términos equivalentes incluyen “diamantes de laboratorio”, “diamantes sintéticos”, “simulantes de diamante” o “diamantes cultivados en laboratorio”. “Swarovski Created Diamonds” se refiere a nuestras colecciones de joyería fina que incluyen diamantes creados en laboratorio de alta calidad.
Come distinguere i diamanti creati in laboratorio dai diamanti estratti
A occhio nudo è impossibile distinguere un diamante creato in laboratorio da un diamante estratto. Con l’utilizzo di strumenti professionali, i diamanti creati in laboratorio possono essere identificati attraverso le incisioni laser presenti sulla cintura, specifici pattern di fluorescenza visibili sotto luce UV e particolari inclusioni microscopiche che si formano durante il processo di crescita.
I diamanti creati in laboratorio sono migliori dei diamanti estratti?
La scelta tra diamanti creati in laboratorio e diamanti estratti dipende dai gusti personali. In termini di composizione chimica, i diamanti creati in laboratorio sono diamanti veri al 100%. Il sistema di classificazione delle 4C, universalmente riconosciuto, si applica a entrambi i tipi di diamanti, consentendo così agli acquirenti di scegliere una pietra che rispecchi il taglio, il colore, la purezza e la caratura desiderati, indipendentemente dal fatto che si sia formata nella terra o sia stata creata in laboratorio.
Qual è la differenza di prezzo tra diamanti creati in laboratorio e diamanti estratti?
Processi di produzione efficienti significano che i diamanti creati in laboratorio possono essere un’opzione economicamente più conveniente rispetto ai diamanti estratti. Il nostro Fondatore, Daniel Swarovski, desiderava fortemente che il lusso fosse accessibile a tutti. I diamanti creati in laboratorio onorano questa mission, poiché offrono pietre di qualità eccezionale a prezzi su misura che non possono essere replicati nel mercato tradizionale dei diamanti.
Perché i diamanti creati in laboratorio sono più convenienti?
Esistono diverse ragioni per cui i diamanti creati in laboratorio, di alta qualità e con una caratura importante, possono essere acquistati a prezzi più convenienti rispetto a quelli estratti. L’ottimizzazione dei processi di produzione in laboratorio ha consentito di ridurre i costi, mentre l’ingresso di nuovi operatori sul mercato ha fatto sì che i diamanti creati in laboratorio continuino ad avere prezzi competitivi.
Cristalli Swarovski vs Diamanti Swarovski Created Diamonds
La creazione dei cristalli Swarovski e dei diamanti creati in laboratorio presenti nelle nostre collezioni Swarovski Created Diamonds è una testimonianza dello spirito innovativo e del savoir-faire della Maison. Entrambi sono prodotti utilizzando componenti di altissima qualità; i cristalli Swarovski utilizzano una formula che è retaggio di Daniel Swarovski, mentre gli Swarovski Created Diamonds vengono creati in laboratorio partendo da un minuscolo seme di carbonio, al quale vengono applicati calore e pressione intensi.
Moissanite vs Diamanti creati in laboratorio
La moissanite è un tipo di gemma che presenta qualità simili a quelle dei diamanti. Le prime moissaniti provenivano dai meteoriti, mentre oggi sono realizzate in carburo di silicio e create in laboratorio. Mentre i diamanti creati in laboratorio sono identici al 100% ai diamanti estratti, sotto ogni aspetto tranne che nell’origine, le moissaniti somigliano ai diamanti, ma presentano svariate differenze sia nella composizione che nell’aspetto. Le moissaniti hanno una loro bellezza, ma si distinguono dai diamanti per durata, brillantezza e colore. Anche i diamanti creati in laboratorio vengono classificati secondo il sistema delle 4C sulla qualità del diamante, mentre nelle moissaniti viene considerato solo il colore.

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.
