Shopping for a diamond for a special someone? Before you make your purchase, you may want to learn more about laboratory-grown diamonds. “Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years, hundreds of miles beneath the Earth’s surface under truly remarkable conditions. Natural diamonds are unique. as no two are ever the same," says Debbie Azar, Co-Founder & President of GSI. “Visually, laboratory-grown diamonds look just like naturally mined diamonds. No one can identify the origin of a diamond just by looking at it."

The results are in 💎 Well done if you said that number two was the lab grown diamond! Although it is actually impossible to distinguish between the two types of diamonds by eye alone without expert analysis, 57% of you did guess correctly! Listen to Tony from our Gem Lab explain further. Both types of diamonds share remarkable visual qualities, but knowing the origin of your stones can be crucial as it can add value and peace of mind. In our Gem Lab we offer diamond screening services than can accurately determine whether a diamond is lab-grown – removing the guesswork! Interested?

ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS EVEN REAL? Absolutely Lab grown diamonds are as real as mined diamond they are just made in a different way. They are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds. In 2018, FTC ruled “diamonds are diamonds whether made in lab or comes out of the mother earth”. Even lab grown diaminds are considered to be better investment because lab grown diamonds are 40% to 60% cheaper than mined diamonds and this does not mean it is a cheaper product, it means it is a better product in cheaper price, sanket patel director at labgreen diamonds said this. GIA Gemological Institute of America certifies the Lab grown diamonds on same factors as mined diamonds, even GIA states that the chemical and physical properties of mined and lab grown diamonds are same. #diamonds #labgrowndiamonds #gia #linkedingrowth #connection #growth

Prathit is here to share some of his expertise in fluorescence and how this can affect a low-colour stone. Do you have any questions about fluorescence in diamonds?

Having spent three decades in the luxury jewelry business, I want to share some insights with my LinkedIn network members who may not be familiar with the jewelry industry. Recent developments have highlighted instances where lab diamonds are misrepresented as natural ones. This emphasizes the critical need to exclusively engage with credible professionals when acquiring diamonds. I have confidence in numerous reputable jewelers globally. Nevertheless, recent incidents serve as a vital reminder for both industry professionals buying from manufacturers and wholesale distributors and for consumers purchasing retail. It's imperative for all involved to stay vigilant and safeguard their interests. Choosing a trustworthy professional is key, to ensuring transparency, authenticity, and adherence to ethical practices during the entire diamond acquisition process. #ethicalpractices #integrity

✨ The Fascinating History of Moissanite ✨ Did you know that moissanite, one of the most brilliant and stunning gemstones, has a cosmic origin? 🌠 🔍 **Discovery**: In 1893, French chemist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered tiny, shimmering crystals in a meteorite crater in Arizona. Initially, he believed he had found diamonds, but upon further examination, he realized it was a completely new mineral. In honor of his groundbreaking discovery, the gem was named "moissanite." 🌌 **Cosmic Connection**: Moissanite's extraordinary journey began in the stars! Formed under extreme temperatures and pressures in space, it traveled across the universe before landing on Earth. This celestial heritage gives moissanite its unique place in the world of gemstones. 💎 **From Rare to Radiant**: Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, but thanks to modern technology, scientists have perfected the process of creating lab-grown moissanite. These gems are ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, and just as dazzling as their natural counterparts. ✨ **Why Choose Moissanite?**: - **Unmatched Brilliance**: Moissanite's refractive index is higher than that of diamonds, giving it an unparalleled sparkle. - **Durability**: With a hardness rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it's perfect for everyday wear. - **Ethical and Sustainable**: Lab-grown moissanite ensures no mining impact and conflict-free origins. Whether you're drawn to its sparkling beauty or its stellar beginnings, moissanite is a gem like no other. 🌟💍 #MoissaniteMagic #GemstoneHistory #BrillianceBeyondCompare #EthicalJewelry #CelestialBeauty

very good diamond By GIA. Scientists classify diamonds into two main "types" - type I and type lI - based on the presence or absence of nitrogen which can replace carbon atoms in a diamond's atomic structure. These two diamond types can be distinguished on the basis of differences in their chemical and physical properties. Type lI diamonds contain little fi any nitrogen and they are subdivided into two groups (lla and Ilb) both of which are quite rare (less than 2% of all gem diamonds). According to the records of the GIA Laboratory, the 11.20 carat Round Brilliant diamond described ni GIA Diamond Grading Report has been determined to be a type lla diamond. Type Ila diamonds are the most chemically pure type of diamond and often have exceptional optical transparency. Type Ila diamonds were first identified as originating from India (particularly from the Golconda region) but have since been recovered in al major diamond-producing regions of the world. Among famous gem diamonds, the 530.20 carat Cullinan I and the 105.60 carat Koh-i-noor are examples of type lla.
