Diamonds: Did you know...

According to Wikipedia: Most natural diamonds are formed at high-pressure high-temperature conditions existing at depths of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 120 mi) in the Earth mantle. Carbon-containing minerals provide the carbon source, and the growth occurs over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years, which respectively corresponds to roughly 25% and 75% of the age of the Earth.

Diamonds are brought close to the Earth surface through deep volcanic eruptions by a magma, which cools into igneous rocks known as kimberlites and lamproites. Diamonds can also be produced synthetically in a high-pressure high-temperature process which approximately simulates the conditions in the Earth mantle.

An alternative, and completely different growth technique is chemical vapor deposition. Several non-diamond materials, which include cubic zirconia and silicon carbide and are often called diamond simulants, resemble diamond in appearance and many properties.

Special gemological techniques have been specially developed to distinguish natural and synthetic diamonds and diamond simulants.

DNA2Diamonds uses the latest laboratory-grown technology to extract the unique personal carbon found in a lock of hair or cremated remains. From this, we create a beautiful, personalized, unique diamond. A diamond that is chemically, physically and optically identical to an earth-mined diamond.
