¿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 los diamantes creados en laboratorio son más asequibles?
Hay varias razones por las que es posible comprar diamantes creados en laboratorio de alta calidad con un peso en quilates sustancial a precios más asequibles que los diamantes extraídos. La optimización de los procesos de producción en el laboratorio ha abaratado los costes; además, la llegada de algunos nuevos competidores al mercado ha supuesto que los precios de los diamantes creados en laboratorio se mantengan a niveles competitivos.
Moissanites vs diamants de synthèse
Les moissanites sont un type de pierre précieuse qui partage des qualités similaires à celles des diamants. Les premières moissanites dérivaient de météorites mais aujourd’hui, elles sont fabriquées à partir de carbure de silicium et élaborées en laboratoire. Bien que les diamants de synthèse soient identiques à 100 % aux diamants extraits de mine à l’exception de leur provenance, les moissanites ressemblent aux diamants mais présentent plusieurs différences tant en termes de composition que d’apparence. Les moissanites ont leur propre beauté, mais leur durabilité, leur éclat et leur couleur sont distincts des diamants. Les diamants de synthèse sont également évalués selon les 4C de la qualité des diamants, tandis que seule la couleur est prise en compte pour les moissanites.

Ils sont une alternative abordable et représentent l’avenir de l’industrie du diamant.
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.
