Creating a Diamond in a Lab

Researchers learned that mined diamond gems consist of carbon, which was heated to temperature extremes and pressed under the ground thousands of years ago. Man made diamonds are created from the same carbon from which natural diamonds are formed.

To create these diamonds in a laboratory setting, the researchers place carbon sample into a machine of high pressure and high temperature. The results? Real diamond gems had been created.

To ensure their high quality, created diamond gemstones are certified by gemologists. They are proven to have same chemical composition of mined gems, are proven to have identical physical features as well: they are firm, resistant to high temperature, and wear-proof.

DNA₂Diamonds turns hair into diamonds or ashes into diamonds to create a unique engagement ring, wedding or anniversary diamond or even a precious cremation jewelry keepsake, thus forever capturing the essence of love.

The Mystery and Science Behind Personal Created Diamonds

It’s an amazing and indeed an interesting process to learn how the simple structure of a carbon atom can be metamorphosed into a beautiful, genuine diamond. What's more fascinating is how you can use the carbon signature from a lock of hair or small amount of cremated ashes and create a stunning lab created diamond!

These personal man made diamonds can be created to be set into cremation jewelry to memorialize a loved one or pet or as a commemorative diamond to celebrate an anniversary, engagement, birth of a child or other special occasion.

Created diamonds are genuine, certified diamonds that are created in a laboratory within a matter of weeks by replicating the extreme temperature and pressure that occur over millions of years deep under the earth’s crust. These lab diamonds possess the identical chemical, optical, and physical properties of earth-mined diamonds.

Personal created diamonds are in essence, enhanced lab diamonds, because they include a personal carbon source to grow the diamond, a lock of hair or small amount of cremated ashes. To create a personal created diamond, the process begins by collecting the hair or the cremated remains. The carbon signature from the hair or ashes is then added to a real diamond seed, and the mixture is placed in a custom-designed incubator.

The incubator uses a unique and complex High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) process to duplicate the earth’s natural diamond-growing conditions. Temperatures exceed 2000°C and pressure is greater than 60,000 atmospheres.

In 70 days or less, the growth phase is completed and a genuine diamond in-the-rough results. A master gem cutter will cut and polish the diamond in accordance with industry standards.

The created diamond then be individually identified with a laser-engraved ID number on the girdle of the diamond which is visible only under x20 magnification. The personal, man made diamond is then independently authenticated, inspected, measured and graded. The created diamond is then set into the jewelry chosen by the customer and delivered complete with the original certification and Certificate of Authenticity.

Turning ashes to diamonds, or hair to diamonds, DNA2Diamonds are unlike any other type of lab diamonds. These personal created diamonds are as individual and as unique as the lives they mirror and can be created in various colors, cuts, sizes and set into an unlimited number of jewelry settings.

The Difference Between Created Diamonds and Earth Mined

There are several key differences between man made diamonds and earth mined gems. To discover which option is eco-friendly and less expensive, read this article now!

The primary differences between created diamonds and natural diamonds are price and environmental impact. While lab diamonds are identical to earth mined diamonds; same timeless beauty, fire, brilliance, unique colors, hardness and quality; purchasing a created diamond can be easy on the wallet and the environment.

The stress on the eco-systems from earth mining diamonds is pretty harsh and diamond mining in reality is an expensive and a dangerous process. These factors are reflected in the price tag of the earth mined stones.

The biggest benefit of the created diamond lies in this price factor differential. A lab created diamond is usually less expensive compared to a mined colored diamond. In fact, a one carat earth-mined diamond can cost thousands of dollars while a created diamond of the same size and weight can be found at a fraction of the cost.

What's also interesting is that it would take a certified jeweler to detect that these lab diamonds have not been harvested from the earth. Even then, the experts find it difficult to detect because created diamonds are identical gemologically. What this means is that the created diamonds are certified to be chemically and optically identical to their earth mined counterparts.

In addition to being able to obtain a created diamond for a fraction of the price, the creation of a lab diamond does not harm humans, animals, or the precious environment. Another great advantage of created diamonds is that they can be cut even more proportionally, as compared to the mined gems. Only ten to fifteen percent of natural diamonds achieve the ideal cutting proportion whereas man made diamonds can almost always be cut proportionally.

Earth mined diamonds are also hard to find without a flaw. The more flaws the lower the price and the less desirable to the human eye. It is quite common to find mined diamonds with defects and inclusions. While many diamonds can be cut to can disguise some of the flaws, some are too apparent to hide. On the other hand, lab diamonds are nearly flawless to completely flawless due to the precise processing and the ability to control the growth of the diamonds in a laboratory setting.

Thanks to the marvels of modern science and cutting edge technology, now you can afford to buy flawless, man made diamonds at a fraction of the price and do so confidently knowing your purchase will be eco-friendly.

Hair today, in a diamond tomorrow: lab-grown gem uses engaged couple's locks in eco-friendly ring

It’s a gem of an idea and possibly the most romantic engagement ring ever: the DNA2Diamond uses the hair of the betrothed couple as a carbon source to make an eco-friendly, lab-created diamond in just 70 days, according to PR-inside.com.

Aimed at "green" brides and grooms, it does not negatively impact the environment the way mined diamonds do.

Typically, diamond mines remove some 275 tons of ore in order to make a one-carat, gem-quality polished diamond, says PR-inside.com. But lab-grown diamonds rely on the lovely locks of the couple.

"Laboratory grown diamonds do not come from a mine," DNA2Diamonds president Tom Bischoff said. "That simple fact is of growing importance to more environmentally and socially aware brides making DNA2Diamonds the 'green' bride's choice."

His gems can be made in a variety of cuts and colors, including red, warm cognac and dazzling blue. And they come in sizes ranging from 0.25 carats to 2.0 carats. Best of all for cash-strapped grooms, they cost a fraction of what a mined diamond does.

One potential problem that could take some of the sparkle out of the project: a balding groom.

A Famous Blue Diamond - Part VI

The Hope Diamond, part VI

The weight of the Hope diamond for many years was reported to be 44.5 carats. In 1974 it was removed from its setting and found actually to weigh 45.52 carats. It is classified as a type IIb diamond, which are semi-conductive and usually phosphoresce. The Hope diamond phosphoresces a strong red color, which will last for several seconds after exposure to short wave ultra-violet light. The diamond's blue coloration is attributed to trace amounts of boron in the stone.

In the pendant surrounding the Hope diamond are 16 white diamonds, both pear-shapes and cushion cuts. A bail is soldered to the pendant where Mrs. McLean would often attach other diamonds including the McLean diamond and the Star of the East.
