What Does Laboratory Grown Diamond Mean?
Title:
Laboratory grown diamonds are stones created in a laboratory setting using an innovative process that flawlessly replicates nature. Nurtured from a tiny carbon seed, laboratory grown diamonds are indistinguishable from their mined counterparts in all chemical, physical, and optical attributes. Intensely bright and cut for brilliance, each can be set in precious metals to form fine jewelry that shines with infinite fire and radiance.

Why Are They Called Laboratory Grown Diamonds?
Laboratory grown diamonds is the name used to describe diamonds that do not originate from the earth. Alternative terms meaning the same thing include man-made diamonds, synthetic diamonds, simulated diamonds, lab grown, and lab created diamonds. Swarovski Created Diamonds refers to our fine jewelry collections featuring high quality laboratory grown diamonds.
How to Distinguish Laboratory Grown Diamonds from Mined Diamonds
It’s impossible to differentiate between a laboratory grown diamond and a mined diamond with the naked eye. With professional tools, laboratory grown diamonds can be identified through laser inscriptions on the girdle, distinct fluorescent patterns shown under UV light, and unique microscopic inclusions that occur in the growing process.
Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds Better than Mined Diamonds?
The choice between laboratory grown diamonds and mined diamonds comes down to personal preference. In terms of their chemical composition, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. The universally recognized 4Cs grading system applies to both types of diamond, so buyers can choose a stone that reflects their desired cut, color, clarity, and carat weight regardless of whether it was formed in the earth or in a laboratory.
What Is the Difference in Price Between Laboratory Grown and Mined Diamonds?
Efficient production processes mean that laboratory grown diamonds can be a more affordable option than mined diamonds. Our Founder, Daniel Swarovski, was passionate about making luxury accessible to all and laboratory grown diamonds honor this mission, offering stones of exceptional quality at tailored price points that cannot be replicated in the traditional diamond market.
Why Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds More Affordable?
There are several reasons why high-quality laboratory grown diamonds with a substantial carat weight can be purchased at more affordable prices than their mined counterparts. Streamlined production processes in the lab have lowered costs and new entrants to the markets have also ensured that laboratory grown diamonds stay competitively priced.
Swarovski Crystal vs Swarovski Created Diamonds
The creation of both Swarovski Crystals and the laboratory grown diamonds featured in our Swarovski Created Diamonds collections is a testament to the House’s innovative spirit and savoir-faire. Both are produced using the highest quality components; Swarovski Crystals use a formula that is Daniel Swarovski’s legacy while Swarovski Created Diamonds are formed from a tiny carbon seed in laboratory conditions using intense heat and pressure.
Moissanites vs Laboratory Grown Diamonds
Moissanites are a type of gemstone that shares similar qualities to diamonds. The first moissanites derived from meteorites but today, they are made from silicon carbide and crafted in labs. While laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds in every way but origin, moissanites resemble diamonds but display several differences in both composition and appearance. Moissanites have their own beauty, but their durability, brilliance, and color are distinct to diamonds. Laboratory grown diamonds are also graded using the 4Cs of diamond quality, while only color is considered in moissanites.

常見問題
FAQ
什麼是培育鑽石？
培育鑽石與開採的鑽石在化學、物理和光學特性上均相同。不同的地方只在於，它們是在實驗室裡由一顆鑽石種晶開始生長，利用 HPHT (高壓高溫) 或 CVD (化學氣相沉積) 在幾天或幾週的時間內一層一層地成形，來複製大自然的生長過程，而不是在地球上經過數百萬年的時間。除了來源之外，它們在其他方面是完全一樣的。
培育鑽石比開採的鑽石便宜嗎？
培育鑽石提供了更大的自由度，比起以前，讓我們可以更輕鬆地探索首飾的尺寸、形狀和鑲嵌方式。Swarovski 非常自豪地為您提供採用優質培育鑽石設計的現代作品，這代表在各種合適的價位中，您可以獲得更大、更高品質的培育鑽石。
培育鑽石是如何製造的？
培育鑽石均是採用創新製程複製大自然環境而成，其化學、物理和光學特性與開採的鑽石無異。複製鑽石形成過程有兩種方法：HPHT (高壓高溫) 和 CVD (化學氣相沉積) 。
這兩種技術與培育鑽石本身一樣出色。這兩種方法都是在實驗室的高溫高壓條件下，用碳原子培育一顆微小的鑽石種晶，使鑽石一層一層地生長。每顆鑽石都以自己的方式成形，具有獨一無二的內含物和獨特的生長模式。

培育鑽石是真正的鑽石嗎？ 實驗室製造的鑽石和開採的鑽石有什麼區別？
除來源外，實驗室製造的鑽石與開採的鑽石在其他方面無異。它們與開採出來的鑽石具有相同的化學成分、硬度、亮度和火光。兩者都是 100% 的碳。 一個誕生於實驗室，另一個誕生於大自然，就像溫室培育的蘭花與大自然中的蘭花完全一樣。唯一的區別在於它們的來源。
培育鑽石和開採的鑽石一樣嗎？
培育鑽石與開採的鑽石在光學、化學和物理方面都是 100% 相同的。只有兩者的來源不同，一種來自地球的大自然，一種來自實驗室。其中的不同之處只有透過精密的實驗室設備才能辨別出來。Swarovski Created Diamonds 首飾中所有 0.25 克拉和以上的培育鑽石都可以透過雷射雕刻來識別。
珠寶商能分辨出鑽石是實驗室製造的嗎？
不能，珠寶商無法用肉眼或使用傳統的珠寶商設備來辨別培育鑽石和開採的鑽石。要分辨一顆鑽石是實驗室培育的，還是在地下生長的，需要使用像 IGI 這樣的專業機構提供的先進儀器。
培育鑽石的檢測結果會與莫桑石相同嗎？
不會，培育鑽石與開採的鑽石具有相同的化學成分、硬度、亮光和火光。兩者都是 100% 的碳。
莫桑石雖然也是在實驗室中製造出來的，但它是一種碳化矽，設計上給人一種與鑽石相似的錯覺，但在成分和視覺上卻大相徑庭。

什麼是仿製鑽石？
無論如何，仿製鑽石(例如：立方氧化鋯和莫桑石) 都不是鑽石，而是打造成鑽石外觀的寶石，其物理、視覺和成分方面都與鑽石大相徑庭。
立方氧化鋯與培育鑽石一樣嗎？
不一樣，立方氧化鋯與培育鑽石不同。立方氧化鋯是一種鑽石模擬物，在物理、視覺和成分上都與鑽石大不相同。相反地，除了來源不同，培育鑽石與開採出來的鑽石在其他方面 是100% 相同的。
