Wat zijn laboratorium-diamanten?
Title:
De laboratorium-diamanten in de Swarovski Created Diamonds-sieraden worden gemaakt met behulp van een innovatief proces dat de natuur feilloos nabootst, waardoor de diamanten niet te onderscheiden zijn van natuurlijke diamanten met alle chemische, fysieke en optische kenmerken. Elke diamant is intens helder en meesterlijk geslepen en wordt verwerkt in verfijnde sieraden om fascinerende ontwerpen te creëren die schitteren met een eeuwige glans.
Wat maakt een laboratorium-diamant perfect?
Title:
De 4C's van diamanten worden universeel erkend en zijn een leidraad in de wereld van diamanten, die de kwaliteit en waarde van elke laboratorium-diamant bepalen.

Waarom kiezen voor laboratorium-diamanten?
Title:
Swarovski Created Diamonds zijn het resultaat van een unieke samenwerking tussen wetenschap en magie. Laboratorium-diamanten zijn een ode aan de schittering van de natuur met een onweerstaanbare helderheid en zijn in alle opzichten 100% identiek aan natuurlijke diamanten, behalve hun oorsprong. Ze vormen een nieuwe toekomst voor de diamanten sieradenindustrie en zijn ook waardevoller.
TALLOZE EIGENSCHAPPEN
Certificering laboratorium-diamanten
Alle laboratorium-diamanten uit de Galaxy- en Eternity-collecties worden geanalyseerd door IGI, het International Gemological Institute, om de kwaliteit van elke steen te garanderen volgens de 4 C's van diamantbeoordeling. Alleen de gecertificeerde laboratorium-diamanten worden voor deze collecties gebruikt.
Elke laboratorium-diamant van 0,25 karaat of groter is voorzien van een lasergravure, als bewijs van herkomst. Deze is alleen zichtbaar onder sterke vergroting en toont de authenticiteit van een Swarovski-sieraad van buitengewone schoonheid.
Swarovski created diamonds
Made with 100% Renewable Energy
This is a milestone for Swarovski on our journey to provide a conscious choice and minimize the impact on our planet and its inhabitants. Galaxy and Eternity are the first Swarovski Created Diamonds Collections made using renewable energy in the entire process of growing, cutting and polishing laboratory grown diamonds, as well as the production of the jewelry pieces.
The Swarovski Created Diamonds collections are also made with 100% recycled gold, which further reduces the CO2 footprint of the jewelry, and repurposes precious resources
Moissanites vs Laboratory Grown Diamonds
Title:
Laboratory grown diamonds are indistinguishable from mined diamonds. They exhibit the same properties of sparkle, fire, and scintillation. Moissanites, however, are engineered to give the illusion of diamonds but compositionally and visually they are quite different. Their durability, brilliance, and color are quite distinct. Moissanites are not graded against the 4Cs like laboratory grown diamonds, they are only graded for their color.

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 0.25 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.
