All you might want to know about Laboratory Grown Diamonds

Lab created diamonds offer a great opportunity to consumers for various reasons. From the beauty of a vivid yellow to the rarity of a fancy blue to the science and technology of making a diamond, everyone has their own reason for needing a lab diamond.

The most typical use for a man made diamond is as expected in an engagement ring. At d.neadiamonds.com, most of our diamonds are set into luxury engagement rings. You're able to pair any loose diamond with any of our designer, or fashion your own personal design for that perfect ring. Due to the large supply of mined white diamonds as well as the relative scarcity of fancy colored diamonds, most mined engagement rings use white diamonds. Because of the limited availability of lab-grown white diamonds, we encourage you to also look at our brilliant blues and vibrant yellows.

Growing a genuine diamond is the pinnacle of human technology. It requires highly calibrated machines capable of producing intense heat and pressure, within very specific constraints, for long periods of time. While diamond-growing technology has been around for over 50 years, superior results have only been around for a few years. Chemists, engineers, IT professionals and scientists of all kinds recognize the value of the research, development and procedures that goes into making a diamond, and lab diamonds are an ideal match for a high-tech tension-set engagement ring.

At d.neadiamonds.com we're environmentally a ware. Mined diamonds are produced from massive mining operations that destroy ecosystems. Contrary to that, all man-made diamonds are created inside a controlled laboratory, utilizing only modest amounts of resources to grow a diamond. Furthermore, D.NEA jewelry is available in recycled metals such as platinum and 18kt gold, and in addition, is packaged in environmentally responsible packaging.

Several diamonds originate in war-torn regions in Africa. These diamonds subsidize civil wars and armed conflicts and are commonly known as a "blood diamond" or "conflict diamond". Once a mined diamond is cut, it is usually impossible to see its origin. Even in conflict-free regions, sub-standard working conditions, child labor and human rights abuses carry on in mining operations across the world. All our synthetic diamonds are grown in controlled facilities by trained engineers, scientists and technicians. They're cut in Antwerp by skilled cutters, and fully disclosed and identifiable as lab-grown. Our diamonds are origin-guaranteed.

Natural colored diamonds are quite high-priced, with fancy yellows easily upwards of $20,000 per carat and fancy blues $200,000 and up per carat. Lab-grown fancy yellow and blue diamonds are about one-quarter and one-tenth the price of their mined counterparts, respectively, yet have all the beauty and natural color of their mined counterparts. While blue and yellow diamonds are less expensive than their mined counterparts, a white is comparable in price, if not dearer than a comparable mined diamond. It is because white diamonds are the most difficult color to grow, yet the most obtainable when mined. There have been some misimpressions a few years ago that lab diamonds would be available by the truckload for merely dollars per carat, yet that's in no way true, and we confirm synthetic diamond long-term pricing will remain fairly stable.
