AMAZING OPTIONS
BRILLIANCE AS A BIRTHRIGHT
WHETHER LAB-GROWN OR NATURAL, A DIAMOND IS A THING OF BEAUTY
L ab-grown diamonds have carved out a niche in the world of jewelry, and they’re here to stay. Not that they will ever replace natural diamonds, which hold a place of honor in fine jewelry. We’re here to detail the attributes of both, so you can make an informed choice. Lab-grown diamonds have emerged as a com- pelling option because, in the technical sense, there is no difference between lab-grown and nat- ural diamonds. Lab-grown contain all the same physical properties that we have come to love and admire about the ones made by Mother Nature. The difference is that lab-grown diamonds are created through technological processes. They are synthetic, which does not mean the same thing as simulant. They have exactly the same properties as natural diamonds.
One of those properties is hardness. A diamond is the hardest mineral known to man, which means it takes a very fine polish that enables radiant white light return and plenty of sparkle. Because diamonds are so durable, they last forever, which makes them perfect for jewelry that will be worn every day and passed on to the next generation. There is something so awe-inspiring and romantic about the origins of the natural diamond. They are formed over millions of years deep within the Earth’s crust — the harvest of mother nature’s bounty. The world’s most important diamonds — the Hope, the Cullinan, the Taylor- Burton, etc. — are natural, carefully retrieved from the earth and polished to perfection. They are miracles of nature, and that adds a cachet that makes them eternally valuable.
