A GUIDE TO DIFFERENT STONES
Lab Grown Diamond
These beauties, crafted in specialized labs, possess the same dazzling qualities as their naturally mined counterparts, but with a unique twist. Imagine science as a skilled sculptor, shaping carbon atoms into diamonds using precise techniques. These gems are born under carefully controlled conditions, replicating the earth's pressure and heat, but on a much faster timeline.
This translates to sparkling rough diamonds in mere weeks, not millions of years. Lab-grown diamonds are just as brilliant and durable as mined ones. They sparkle with the same fire,
same range of colors and sizes, and boast the same impressive hardness. In fact, it's difficult to tell them apart without a trained eye! Creating these gems uses significantly less energy than traditional mining. So, if you're seeking a dazzling diamond with a modern touch and a conscience, lab-grown gems offer a compelling choice.
Moissanite
Moissanite, discovered in 1893 within a meteorite crater by scientist Henri Moissan, was initially mistaken for diamond due to its outstanding brilliance and durability. Today, it is predominantly cultivated in laboratories, offering a socially responsible and environmentally friendly alternative to mined diamonds. Distinct from diamonds, moissanite is composed of silicon carbide, boasting remarkable hardness (9.5 on the Mohs scale) and a higher refractive index (2.65-2.69).
Moissanite presents several compelling advantages over traditional diamonds, including exceptional brilliance, durability suitable for everyday wear, social responsibility, and eco-friendliness due to lab-grown production. Moreover, it is cost-effective, making it an attractive option for those seeking larger stones or budget-conscious alternatives.
Mined Diamond
Diamonds, symbols of love and luxury, are formed deep within the Earth from carbon under extreme conditions. Mined from locations like South Africa, Botswana, and Canada, or industrially produced in Australia, diamonds play a role in various applications worldwide. They undergo a journey from mining to processing, where they are crafted into beautiful jewelry.
However, mined diamonds contribute to deforestation, water pollution, and high carbon emissions. Miners often endure dangerous conditions, exploitation, and some gems may even be associated with conflict and violence. Poet Robson advocates for an alternative: lab-grown diamonds. Choosing lab-grown diamonds reflects a commitment to a world where luxury aligns with compassion and responsibility.
