Diamond New Trend! Lab-grown diamonds adorn your Eco-friendly fashion!
Natural diamonds, due to their rare characteristics and virtually indestructible nature, have been seen as the ultimate symbol of love. However, in recent years, with increasing environmental concerns and dwindling resources caused by diamond mining, we are placing greater emphasis on protecting the Earth. Therefore, ALUXE has introduced lab-grown diamonds, which have the same composition as natural diamonds. They convey the same noble and dedicated love as natural diamonds, providing those with a sustainability consciousness with another option to experience values beyond eternity!
Differences Between Lab-grown Diamonds and Natural Diamonds
The most common confusion is whether lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds.
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds!
The biggest difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds lies in the difference in their growth environment and formation time. Natural diamonds form naturally in the earth's mantle under extremely high temperature and pressure, whereas lab-grown diamonds create a growth environment similar to that of natural diamonds, taking a few weeks to cultivate diamonds. Although the growth environment and time required are different, lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are identical in terms of chemical composition, crystal structure, optical, and physical properties.
Manufacturing of Lab-grown Diamonds
The production technology of lab-grown diamonds is divided into two types: HPHT diamonds (High Pressure High Temperature method) and CVD diamonds (Chemical Vapor Deposition method). Regardless of the process, the chemical, physical, and optical properties of the produced diamonds are identical to those of natural diamonds. Therefore, they still need to be tested by professional appraisal institutions using special equipment to confirm 100% whether they are natural diamonds.
Distinguishing Between Lab-grown Diamonds and Natural Diamonds
The chemical structure and physical properties of lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are "completely identical", so only special advanced instruments can be used for testing and judgment, and they cannot be simply distinguished by the naked eye or physical tests. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose reputable stores for purchases and to obtain certification. ALUXE provides lab-grown diamonds certified by the authoritative institution IGI, and each lab-grown diamond comes with an IGI identification report, providing you with the most reassuring and reliable guarantee!
"Bogus" Diamond Simulants
There are some substitutes on the market that "appear to be" diamonds, collectively known as "diamond simulants."
These equally shiny gemstones have completely different properties from diamonds. Common diamond simulants include cubic zirconia (also known as Soviet diamonds) and moissanite (also known as stardust diamonds). Both of these are synthetic gemstones designed to mimic the expensive diamond, achieving a dazzling visual effect. However, their hardness is far lower than that of diamonds, and their physical, chemical, and optical properties are quite different.
ALUXE introduces LOVE CREATED DIAMOND lab-grown diamonds, using IGI to provide lab-grown diamonds with exclusive identification reports, and each diamond will be laser-engraved on its girdle with its certificate number to declare its authenticity! So, if you encounter a diamond that looks incredibly beautiful but seems to be priced unreasonably, even if the other party claims to have a certificate, you should check which certificate it is! However, the worst case seems to be when the diamond is beautiful, but the price is exorbitant, so you never thought it would be fake... (crying) The best way is to buy diamonds from reputable stores to ensure safety, and don't be too harsh on your wallet!
