Process

Deep Within The Earth, Carbon, Which Has A Natural Crystal Structure, Is Transformed Into Diamonds. The Process Occurs When This Carbon Is Exposed To High Pressure And High Temperature Over A Very Long Period Of Time. In Fact, Many Of These Natural Diamond Stones You See In Jewelry Stores Are Remarkably Billions Of Years Old.

A Cultivated Diamond Is Created In A Laboratory From Carbon Under Artificial Conditions That Mimic The Natural Process. In The Case Of Remembrance Diamonds From Heart In Diamond, First The Carbon Used For The Diamond Is Extracted From Cremated Remains Or Hair. Then, This Carbon Is Exposed To Extremely High Temperatures And Pressures That Are Similar To Those Found In Nature That Create Diamonds.

Other Names Used For Synthetic Diamonds Include:

• Lab-Grown
• Cultivated
• Created
• Cultured

A Common Misconception About Synthetic Diamonds Is That They Are Not Actually Real Diamonds. The Truth Is, Even Though Synthetic Diamonds Are Formed By An Artificial Process, They Still Possess The Same Physical Properties And Chemical Composition As That Of Their Natural Counterparts. In Fact, Professionals Are Finding It Increasingly Difficult To Distinguish Natural From Synthetic Diamonds. The Bottom Line Is That Synthetic Diamonds Are By No Means Fake.

In Terms Of Chemical Properties And Structure, Cultivated Diamonds Are, In Fact, Real Diamonds. This Is Because When Examining The Fundamental Properties, Synthetic Diamonds Are The Same As Natural Diamonds. They Retain The Extreme Hardness And Density Of Natural Diamonds; Are Transparent (Especially When Pure); Generate High Thermal Conductivity; And Have High Resistance For Electricity.

Comparing The Chemical And Physical Properties Of Synthetic Diamonds And Natural Diamonds

Age:

• Synthetic Diamonds Have Been Produced Since 1953.
• Natural Diamonds Were Created Deep Within The Ground And Are Nearly As Old As The Earth.

Colors:

• Both Natural Diamonds And Synthetic Diamonds Are Available In A Wide Variety Of Colors.
• Synthetic Gemstones Are Irradiated To Create Colors Such As Red, Green, Champagne, Pink, Purple, Brown, Etc.
• Cultivated Diamonds Are Available In Brilliant, Vibrant Colors, But Natural Diamonds Come In Soft Or Dull Colors.

Hardness:

• In The Past, There Was A Time That Natural Diamonds Were The Hardest Substance Available On Earth. However, Advancements In Technologies And New High-Tech Devices Have Made It Possible To Create Synthetic Diamonds That Are Every Bit As Resilient, If Not More So, Than Natural Diamonds.
• Diamonds Found In Nature Have Multiple Crystalline Structures, Which Makes Them More Prone To Fractures And Cracks. Synthetic Gemstones Have Crystals That Are Growing In One Single Direction Making Them More Durable And Less Prone To Cracks And/Or Fractures.
• Synthetic Diamonds Carry More Weight And Density Than Their Natural Counterparts.

Appearance:

• Modern Techniques And Equipment Creates Synthetic Diamonds That Are Practically Flawless, Containing Only Minor Imperfections.
• Uv Light Creates A Different Wave Pattern When Passed Through Synthetic Diamonds That Is Not Present In Natural Diamonds.
• Under Magnified Light, Naturally-Formed Diamonds Will Appear Dull. Cultivated Diamonds Include An Inscription For Authenticity Which Carries An Identification Number Which Allows Jewelers To Easily Identify Where The Lab-Diamond Was Created.
• Trace Factors May Be Present In Cultivated Diamonds, Including Boron Or Platinum.
• Synthetic Diamonds Are Free From External And Internal Blemishes, Including Scratches, Fractures, Fingerprints, Clouds And Nicks.
• When Exposed To Light, Cultured Diamonds Give Off A Yellowish-Green Or Orange Glow.
• Even Though These Subtle Differences May Exist, Modern Technology Produces Amazing Synthetic Diamonds That You May Not Be Able To Distinguish From Natural Diamonds.

Creation:

• Deep Within The Mantle Of Earth Is Where Natural Diamonds Were Created. Volcanic Vents Bring The Diamonds To The Surface Where They Are Collected By Mining Processes. Then They Are Cut, Polished, And Sold.
• Synthetic Diamonds Are Lab-Manufactured Under Machines That Create High-Temperature And High-Pressure That Mimic Conditions In The Earth’s Mantle.

Cost:

• Cremation Diamonds Cost On Average About A Third Of The Price Of Natural Diamonds, Making Them Not Only A Cost-Effective Alternative, But Also An Eco-Friendly Option.
