Thanks for the info. I will continue to purchase lab grown diamonds as they are essentially the same as mined diamonds. However there is not the exploitation of the native miners when purchasing natural diamonds and if to the naked eye they are indistinguishable from natural diamonds, i will be happier knowing that I’m not exploiting anyone to wear lab grown diamonds. I’m sure there are many that feel the same way.

Julia's energy in this video is awesome. LOVE her!

I love gems. I used to talk to jewellers just to see and ask about gems as a kid. Even now in my 30’s - some are still happy and enthused to show me their favourite pieces even I can never afford it

I have been wearing Lab Diamonds for about two decades. I defy any person on the street to tell the difference by just by sight. There are two famous Jewellery Houses that their designers have been producing lab diamonds for a select market.

Julia is absolutely radiating! You can see how passionate she is about this. Plus, she explains things SO clearly and easily. What a delight to watch!

Its so wonderful that so many people want to know about Lab Grown Diamonds, We are manufacturer of lab grown diamonds(Rough to Polish) from India. This video is surely a myth buster for everyone, the guest in the video has so much technical and theoretical knowledge about lab grown diamonds, its really impressive. Keep up the good work. Labgrown Diamonds is the future.

Good ol' alchemy, alive and well in the modern age - Julia is a modern day alchemist and I can tell, she loves her work. She was a great guest, make sure to bring her back for a future video. We still have a long way to go, as an advancing civilization but we wouldn't be where we are, without synthetic, lab grown diamonds. Plain and simple. We wouldn't be able to do countless operations without diamond-tipped or diamond-coated drills and saws. As far as jewelry goes, there's a place for naturally occurring stones and for lab-grown stones. If you want to dish out for the natural diamond from quality source (i.e. specific country or mining co. ), then you do, just that. If you want the next best thing (or better), you go with lab-grown. I don't wear jewelry but I'm fascinated by all of technically specific thing's about gemstones and minerals, how they are made, how they are used, how we can synthesize them for industrial use - stuff like that. Looks pretty when you set it in a ring, too 😛

Aren't they grown from basically "seeds" in special conditions ? Kinda like lab grown rubies, that alot of jewelry stores sell you without telling you they were grown in a lab. Moissinite is also lab grown, right? I have lab grown blue spinel and a lab ruby pendant, earrings, and a ring. Great information!!

The reason I like lab created diamonds is because I know they are not conflict diamonds.

I think the second last tester (which show the spectrum) is actually can be used to test other gemstones. Particular gemstone has particular spectrum. Is that tester is the same with tester to see the spectrum?

since a lot of these tests are spectrum-based, what combination of tests can be used to identify opaque stones as diamond or not (ie black diamonds vs moissanite)?

Thank you for your informative video on the manufacturing and testing of lab-grown diamonds. Would you be able to offer a cost differential, traditional versus a lab, and the expected long-term value?

@voidremoved

Жыл бұрын

Don't count on long term value because they can just make as many as they want. Hopefully the price will always reflect the cost to produce them and deliver them to you. Natural diamonds will only have long term value, as long as they do not figure out how to make indistinguishable lab grown ones

I've actually been looking to purchase a lab grown and was really excited to see this but after watching I don't believe I'll spend the money. Lab grown are still really expensive and every single supplier I've researched says they will test EXACTLY the same as natural diamonds. I'm actually quite disappointed but really glad I saw this video

Will lab grown diamonds be developed with a certain glow and used in solar panels, which would create power even after the light is no longer available in the evening?

Jewelers and Dealers do use "synthetic" for Moissanite and CZ. Best to just call them Lab Grown especially when dealing with GenX +.

Is there any way we can get to know whether the lab grown diamonds are cvd or hpht after it is studded in jewelery

some natural diamonds can have silica. pyrope garnet inclusions. lol love all the gadgets. uv spectrometry! awesome! yah that glows for a long time. now it makes sense! I suppose that's why there trying to make nuclear decay photovoltaics out of diamonds (nuclear batteries). you know what would be perfect add a gamma spectrometer as well. they have cheap ones now.

I am in the process of purchasing a CVT diamond, but I am concerned because somewhere I read that they are not as brilliant and have a milky appearance. Is this true? And is this visible to the naked eye?

WOW. And so much fun. So, if methane can be transformed to diamond is that a partial solution for too much methane in the atmosphere? (Of course, you still have to capture it....) And a steam bath can relax laboratory diamonds from brown to colorless. (If I understood it) This is all so INTERESTING!!!!! So glad I found your channel. Keep it coming!

@TheGemAcademy

Жыл бұрын

Great thought! There's lots of extra things to know here... often the methane used is methane that's been captured as a biproduct from burning fossil fuels... so in a way this is could be considered using the biproduct (somewhat sustainable?) also in the chamber ... 99% of the is actually hydrogen. Typically this is gained by burning fossil fuels (not sustainable). There is a way to get sustainable hydrogen (but only 5% of industrial hydrogen is obtained this was so a producer must purposely seek it if they want this ingredient to be sustainable) There is a couple of companies that try to make an additional aspect to sustainability by using CO2 captured from the air as the carbon source instead of methane (just like your idea!). From the dozens of CVD producers I know of - two do this. Generally speaking, unless a crazy effort is put into sustainable ingredients and energy sources, mass production of laboratory-grown diamonds (and of almost all products) has an environmental cost. Some producers offset any carbon footprint this to become more sustainable or even carbon neutral. Some do not.

@TheGemAcademy

And regarding colour... HPHT can be grown as colourless (not discussed in video) most are brown this colour and are beautiful and bright - DEF equivalent! CVD can be grown as colourless too... but most often are grown brown and treated. Not in a steam bath... but actually either in the HPHT apparatus... we're talking 2000 degrees C with 5-6 GPa of pressure!! Or heated in a vacuum (CVD growth chamber) for a whilst to realign the structure removing the brown colour :)

@@AshishLalani Form what I understand from watching the experts videos and reading articles: Some lab diamonds can test as mossanite depending on how they were grown (or even a bad tester), however the diamond properties will still be diamond (mossanite is less hard and double refractive, and made with different component). It should be noted that on rare occasions even natural/earth untreated diamonds can test as moissanite, too.

I believe that the Australian Argyle diamond mine is the only place in the world that produces pink diamonds. Sadly the mine has now closed down so the laboratory grown diamonds may one day be the only way to get a pink diamond.

The differences between the two can be slight or a lot, depending on how they were made. The geometry of light can be seen as perfect on lab diamonds more than ground diamonds. However, there are perfect to poor quality on either one. But, the reasoning is, diamonds shouldn't be treated like they are crystal orbs.
