PANORAMICA DEI CONTENUTI
Quando sono stati inventati i diamanti creati in laboratorio?
Title:
Se ti stai chiedendo da quanto tempo esistono i diamanti creati in laboratorio, la risposta potrebbe sorprenderti. I primi diamanti creati in laboratorio sono stati realizzati utilizzando la tecnica della sintesi ad elevata pressione e temperatura (HPHT), e la produzione è iniziata nel dicembre 1954. Questo metodo replica in laboratorio il processo di formazione naturale del diamante, nutrendo un minuscolo seme di diamante con atomi di carbonio sotto intenso calore e pressione.
Chi è stato l’inventore dei diamanti creati in laboratorio?
Title:
Gli scienziati della General Electric a New York furono i primi a realizzare con successo diamanti creati in laboratorio per uso industriale nel 1954. All’inizio degli anni 2000, la tecnologia dei diamanti creati in laboratorio era progredita a sufficienza da poter creare in laboratorio diamanti più chiari e con una qualità pari a quella delle gemme. Nel 2010, la produzione era costante e i diamanti creati in laboratorio erano identici in tutto e per tutto ai loro omologhi estratti in miniera, tranne che per la loro origine.

How Long Do Laboratory Grown Diamonds Take to Create?
The length of time it takes for a diamond to form will be determined by its size, but as a guide, a one-carat diamond usually grows in about two weeks using either of the two most commonly used formation processes: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD). Larger stones may take up to three months to create.
Cut for Brilliance
Swarovski is renowned for its mastery of crystal cutting, and its expertise has been passed through generations of craftspeople since 1895 when founder Daniel Swarovski made the first electric crystal cutting machine. Today, the House only works with laboratory grown diamonds that are precision cut to guarantee the best light performance across all our Swarovski Created Diamonds collections.

Frequently asked questions
Laboratory Grown Diamonds
How are laboratory grown diamonds made?
Laboratory grown diamonds are crafted using scientific processes. The technology is as brilliant as the diamonds themselves and has evolved over time to be able to create jewel quality diamonds. Each diamond forms in its own unique way.
How long does it take to make a laboratory grown diamond?
The two methods of making diamonds in a laboratory work at similar speeds. One is Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and the other is High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). The size of diamond being grown will determine the time it takes, but as a guide, a one-carat diamond grows in about two weeks. Larger stones may take up to three months to complete.
How long does it take a diamond to form naturally?
Natural diamonds take millions of years to form deep within the earth's mantle under extreme heat and pressure, conditions that are recreated scientifically in a laboratory to grow man-made diamonds in weeks.

The 4Cs Guide of Diamonds
Title:Quality Control
Subtitle:
Universally recognized, the 4Cs are a guiding light in the world of diamonds, helping to determine the quality and value of each stone - the 4Cs stand for color, cut, carat, and clarity. The laboratory grown diamonds in the Galaxy and Eternity collections are graded against these 4Cs by IGI, the International Gemological Institute.
