Parametri e fattori di purezza
La purezza di un diamante creato in laboratorio è determinata dalle sue imperfezioni. Ogni pietra presenta inclusioni e imperfezioni che le conferiscono un carattere e un fascino unici, molte delle quali sono visibili solo al microscopio. La scala di purezza del diamante va da Flawless (FL), ossia Privo di inclusioni interne, a Included (I3), cioè con Inclusione di un'imperfezione invisibile. All'estremità inferiore della scala, le inclusioni possono influire sulla trasparenza, brillantezza e durabilità del diamante.

ラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドのクラリティチャート
Title:ダイヤモンドのクラリティの尺度と等級
Subtitle:
ダイヤモンドのクラリティの尺度は、インクルージョンとブレミッシュという自然に発じる2つの特性に基づきストーンの純度を示すために使用されます。表面の傷（ブレミッシュ）および内部の不純物（インクルージョン）の数、性質、大きさ、位置により、ダイヤモンドのクラリティの等級が決まります。ダイヤモンドのクラリティの等級は、標準的な検査条件である10倍拡大で判定されます。IFはインクルージョンのない完璧なダイヤモンド、I3は明らかに目視できるインクルージョンのあるダイヤモンドです。
ダイヤモンドのカットとは？
カットの質はクラフツマンシップにかかっています。クラフツマンシップとは、すなわち、1粒1粒のダイヤモンドのファセットと光の相乗効果を生み出し、内なる煌めきを引き出すテクニックです。カットがそれぞれのストーンに個性を与え、完璧なプロポーション、対称性、角度の精度の条件がそろった時、ラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドは最大限の輝きを放ちます。
カットの原則と要素
ラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドのカットの質は、そのプロポーション、対称性、研磨の3つの要素に基づいて評価されます。エキスパートによるカットで、光を吸収し反射するいくつもの完璧に作られたファセットが生まれ、どの角度から見てもストーンが輝きを放ちます。カットを評価する際、鑑定者はダイヤモンドの表面の外観、デザイン、およびクラフツマンシップを考慮します。
ラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドの形状
Swarovski Created Diamondsコレクションでは、さまざまな形状とカットのラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドを取り揃えています。ラボラトリー・グロウン・ダイヤモンドの形状とは、上から見たときの輪郭または外形を指します。カットは品質の一つの基準です。ストーンがどのようにファセットカットされ、研磨されているか、そして各ファセットの角度と比率が光の効果をどのように引き出すかということです。Swarovski Created Diamondsでシェイプを選び、あなたならではの個性を反映しましょう。それぞれのストーンが、輝きを引き出すためにカットされ、あらゆるルックにまばゆさをもたらします。
Kleurprincipes en -factoren
De meest begeerde diamantkleur is helemaal geen kleur. Kleurloze stenen zijn zeer gewaardeerd, maar ze zijn ook uiterst zeldzaam, terwijl diamanten van lagere kwaliteit een gele of bruine toon kunnen hebben. De kleurenschaal van diamanten loopt van D tot Z en de Swarovski Created Diamonds-collecties gebruiken alleen laboratorium-diamanten met een kleurbepaling van D tot G.

Kleurenschaal voor diamanten
De kleur van diamanten wordt beoordeeld op een schaal van D tot Z. Diamanten in de klassen D tot F worden als kleurloos beschouwd, terwijl stenen in de categorieën S tot Z lichte gele of bruine tinten vertonen. Swarovski Created Diamonds-sieraden gebruiken alleen de fijnste laboratorium-diamanten, wat betekent dat ze variëren van kleurloos tot vrijwel kleurloos (D-G).
Wat is het karaatgewicht van een diamant?
Een karaat is een gewichtseenheid die wordt gebruikt om edelstenen, inclusief laboratorium-diamanten, te meten. Bij het vergelijken van diamanten kan de ene een hoger karaat hebben zonder groter te lijken, en twee diamanten met hetzelfde karaatgewicht kunnen in grootte variëren als de ene dieper is geslepen dan de andere. Eén karaat weegt een vijfde van een gram en kan worden verdeeld in 100 punten.

Karaatgewichtgrafiek voor diamanten
Title:Karaattabel laboratorium-diamanten
Subtitle:
Karaat is de internationale standaard eenheid voor het meten van het gewicht van een diamant. Het komt van het woord ‘carobe’, een zaad dat in de oude wereld door handelaren werd gebruikt als referentie voor het gewicht van een diamant. Eén karaat is gelijk aan 200 milligram, dus een diamant van vijf karaat weegt één gram. Diamantkaraat komt niet overeen met de grootte van een steen, het verwijst eenvoudigweg naar hoeveel het weegt, en diamanten worden meestal duurder naarmate hun karaatgewicht toeneemt.
Kwaliteit gegarandeerd
Elke laboratorium-diamant in de verfijnde sieraden van Swarovski Created Diamonds wordt beoordeeld en gecertificeerd door het IGI (International Gemological Institute), met behulp van de wereldwijd erkende 4 C's. De slijpvorm, helderheid, kleur en het karaat van elke steen bepalen de kwaliteit en waarde. Swarovski gebruikt alleen hoogwaardige laboratorium-diamanten met kleurwaardering G+ en helderheid VS+.

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).

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?
A carat is a unit of weight used specifically to measure precious stones including laboratory grown diamonds. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger, and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. One carat weighs 1/5 of a gram and is divided into 100 points.
What is the carat weight of a diamond, how is it measured and how important is it?
Carat weight it the standard weight unit for diamonds, and the first step in the grading process. Diamond carat weight is the measurement of how much the diamond weighs. Each carat can be subdivided into 100 “points.” This allows precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place. The weight of a diamond smaller than one carat may be described by its “points” alone. The larger the diamond is, the more carats it will be, but only you can decide how important that is to you.
Is it better to have a higher carat diamond?
This is an entirely personal question. If you are looking for a larger diamond, you should look for a higher carat, as this indicates the weight and therefore the size of the diamond.
