Che cosa significa diamante creato in laboratorio?
Title:
I diamanti creati in laboratorio sono pietre prodotte in un ambiente di laboratorio attraverso un processo innovativo che replica la natura in maniera impeccabile. Partendo da un minuscolo seme di carbonio, i diamanti creati in laboratorio sono indistinguibili dai loro omologhi estratti sotto tutti gli attributi chimici, fisici e ottici. Di una luminosità intensa e tagliata per brillare, ogni pietra può essere incastonata in metalli preziosi per creare pezzi di alta gioielleria che risplendono con infinita vivacità e radiosità.

Perché vengono definiti diamanti creati in laboratorio?
Per diamanti creati in laboratorio si intendono i diamanti che non hanno origine naturale nel sottosuolo terrestre. Termini alternativi con lo stesso significato includono diamanti artificiali, diamanti sintetici, diamanti simulati, diamanti coltivati in laboratorio e diamanti creati in laboratorio. Swarovski Created Diamonds indica le nostre collezioni di alta gioielleria che presentano diamanti creati in laboratorio di alta qualità.
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?
Plusieurs raisons expliquent pourquoi des diamants de synthèse de haute qualité, dotés d’un poids en carats important, peuvent être achetés à des prix bien plus abordables que leurs équivalents de mine. Des processus de production rationalisés en laboratoire ont réduit les coûts et de nouveaux entrants sur le marché ont également garanti que les diamants de synthèse restent à des prix compétitifs.
Cristaux Swarovski vs Swarovski Created Diamonds
La création des Cristaux Swarovski et des diamants de synthèse présentés dans nos collections de Swarovski Created Diamonds est un témoignage de l’esprit d’innovation et du savoir-faire de la Maison. Les deux sont produits en utilisant des composants de la plus haute qualité ; les Cristaux Swarovski utilisent une formule qui est l’héritage de Daniel Swarovski, tandis que les Swarovski Created Diamonds sont formés à partir d’une minuscule graine de carbone dans des conditions de laboratoire utilisant une chaleur et une pression intenses.
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.

How Laboratory Grown Diamonds Are Made
Title:
Learn how laboratory grown diamonds are grown layer by layer from a tiny carbon seed. There are two main methods used to replicate nature’s wonder, either applying intense pressure and heat or deploying carbon-rich gas in a vacuum chamber.
Why Choose Laboratory Grown Diamonds?
Swarovski Created Diamonds are a unique blend of science and creativity. Cut for brilliance, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds in every way but origin. They are an affordable alternative and represent the future of the diamond industry.
IGI CERTIFIED
Laboratory Grown Diamond Certification
Every laboratory grown diamond featured in the Swarovski Created Diamonds collections has been reviewed by the IGI (International Gemological Institute) to confirm the quality of each stone according to the 4Cs of diamond assessment. Only the finest laboratory grown diamonds are selected.
As proof of origin, every laboratory grown diamond that is 0.25ct or larger carries a laser engraving visible only under strong magnification.
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 0.18 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.
