淨度原理與影響因素
培育鑽石的淨度是由其瑕疵程度來決定。每顆寶石都帶有內含物與表面瑕疵，這賦予了寶石獨一無二的個性和魅力，而其中許多瑕疵只有在顯微鏡下才看得到。鑽石淨度分級從無瑕級（FL）到瑕疵級（I3）。在較低等級中，內含物可能會影響鑽石的透明度、亮度、耐久性。

Title:鑽石淨度級別與評級
Subtitle:
鑽石淨度級別是用來標示寶石的純淨程度，其評估基礎為兩種自然產生的特徵：內含物與表面瑕疵。外部（表面瑕疵）與內部（內含物）特徵的數量、性質、大小、位置，決定了鑽石的淨度級別。鑽石淨度級別是在標準觀測條件下，使用 10 倍放大鏡所判定。IF 用來代表內部無瑕疵的鑽石，而 I3 則代表含有明顯且肉眼可見內含物的鑽石。
¿Qué es la talla del diamante?
La calidad de la talla depende de la técnica artesanal empleada. El término se refiere a la forma en que las facetas de cada diamante interactúan con la luz y revelan su fuego interno. La talla le da a cada piedra una personalidad diferenciada. Y depurar las proporciones, la simetría y los ángulos precisos de los diamantes creados en laboratorio facilita que el tallado maximice el brillo.
Principios y factores de la talla
La calidad de la talla de un diamante creado en laboratorio se fundamenta en sus proporciones, simetría y pulido. Una talla experta significa elaborar varias facetas a la perfección que absorban y reflejen la luz, de modo que la piedra emita destellos desde cualquier ángulo. Al evaluar la talla, las personas especialistas en clasificación tienen en cuenta el aspecto visto desde arriba, el diseño y la técnica artesanal propios del diamante.
Laboratory Grown Diamond Shapes
Swarovski Created Diamonds collections feature a range of different laboratory grown diamond shapes and cuts. The shape of a laboratory grown diamond refers to its outline or external form when viewed from above. Cut is a marker of quality, reflecting how well the stone has been faceted and polished as well as how the angles and proportions of each facet have been crafted to interact with the light. Choose one of our Swarovski Created Diamonds shapes to reflect your individual style and, as each stone is cut for brilliance, it will add luminosity to any look.
Color Principles and Factors
The most desirable diamond color is no color at all. Colorless stones are highly prized but they are also extremely rare, whereas lower quality diamonds can have a yellow or brown tone. The diamond color scale ranges from D to Z and Swarovski Created Diamonds collections only use laboratory grown diamonds with a color rating of D-G.
Colorless
D-F
Near colorless
G-J
Slightly tinted
K-M

S-Z
Diamond color scale
Diamond color is rated on a scale from D to Z. D to F are used to denote colorless stones, while those in the S to Z categories appear in shades of light yellow or brown. Swarovski Created Diamonds jewelry only uses the finest laboratory grown diamonds, meaning they range from colorless to near colorless (D-G).
What is Diamond Carat Weight?
A carat is a unit of weight used to measure precious stones including laboratory grown diamonds. When comparing diamonds, one can have a higher carat without appearing larger, and two diamonds with the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. One carat weighs one-fifth of a gram and can be divided into 100 points.

Diamond Carat Weight Chart
Title:Laboratory grown diamond carat scale
Subtitle:
Carats are the international standard unit of measurement for the weight of a diamond. It derives from the word ‘carob’, a seed that was used as a diamond weight reference for traders in the ancient world. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams so a five carat diamond will weigh one gram. Diamond carat doesn’t equate to the size of a stone, it simply refers to how much it weighs, and diamonds usually become more expensive as their carat weight increases.
Quality Assured
Every laboratory grown diamond set in Swarovski Created Diamonds fine jewelry is assessed and certified by the IGI (International Gemological Institute), using the universally recognized 4Cs. The cut, clarity, color, and carat of each stone determines its quality and worth. Swarovski only uses high quality laboratory grown diamonds rated G+ in color and VS+ in clarity.

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).

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?
여기서 컬러란 화이트 다이아몬드에 내포된 자연스러운 색조를 뜻합니다. 컬러 등급에 대한 업계 표준은 마스터 세트를 기준으로 각 다이아몬드를 평가하여 D(컬러리스)~Z(라이트 옐로우)까지 문자로 등급이 지정됩니다.
다이아몬드는 컬러리스에 가까울수록 높은 품질을 갖습니다.
다이아몬드는 컬러리스에 가까울수록 높은 품질을 갖습니다.
랩그로운 다이아몬드는 흠집이 있나요?
저품질 다이아몬드 시드를 사용한 경우, 일부 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 내포물로 인한 컬러, 구조적 결함과 같은 명백한 결함이 발견될 수도 있습니다. Swarovski는 랩그로운 다이아몬드 가운데 자연스럽지 못하고 문제가 있는 다이아몬드를 판매하지 않습니다.
다이아몬드 캐럿 중량이란 무엇인가요?
캐럿이란 실험실에서 생산된 다이아몬드를 비롯하여 스톤을 측정하기 위해 별도로 사용하는 중량 단위에 해당합니다. 다이아몬드는 크기와 캐럿 중량이 비례하지 않을 수 있습니다. 같은 캐럿 중량의 다이아몬드라 할지라도 깊게 절단했을 때 사이즈가 달라질 수 있죠. 1캐럿의 중량은 1/5그램으로, 100포인트 단위로 나누어집니다.
다이아몬드 캐럿 중량은 무엇이며, 측정 방식과 이게 중요한 이유는 무엇인가요?
캐럿 중량이란 다이아몬드 표준 중량의 단위이며, 측정은 다이아몬드 등급 평가 과정에서 첫 번째로 이루어집니다. 다이아몬드 캐럿 중량은 다이아몬드의 중량을 측정한 값입니다. 각 캐럿은 100 “포인트” 단위로 세분화됩니다. 소수점 100자리까지 정밀하게 측정이 이루어지죠. 1캐럿 이하의 소형 다이아몬드 중량은 “포인트” 만으로 설명이 이루어집니다. 다이아몬드가 크면 클수록 캐럿 역시 값이 높아지지만 그 중요성은 오직 사용자의 평가에 의해서만 가치가 결정됩니다.
더 높은 캐럿 중량을 가진 다이아몬드가 좋은 건가요?
이는 전적으로 사용하시는 분에게 달린 일입니다. 더 큰 다이아몬드를 찾으신다면 더 높은 캐럿을 지닌 다이아몬드를 찾으셔야 합니다. 캐럿이란 다이아몬드의 중량과 사이즈를 가리키는 지표이기 때문이죠.
