Lab-Created, Simulated, and Manufactured Diamonds: A Comprehensive Review
Summary:
Many consumers are confused about lab-created and simulated diamonds. This guide will clarify the differences and simplify the decision-making process for selecting lab-created or manufactured diamond jewelry.Understanding Lab-Created Diamonds
There has been significant discussion about lab-created diamonds, often accompanied by misinformation. Jewelry enthusiasts seeking the affordability and beauty of simulated diamonds may find themselves confused by industry jargon and available options. This article will break it down in simple terms to help you make informed choices.Gem Materials
Most lab-created diamonds worldwide are polycrystalline at a molecular level. Differences primarily lie in manufacturing, cutting, and polishing techniques. Think of it like coffeemakers made from the same materials but differing in design and execution. Higher quality craftsmanship produces higher quality results, aligning manufactured diamonds with their mined counterparts.Quality Variations
Grading lab-created diamonds might seem complex but boils down to three main grades: high, medium, and low. The quality of the setting often matches the quality of the gemstone. Low-quality stones, not suitable for fine jewelry, often appear in costume pieces at discount stores. Medium-quality stones appear in sterling silver or gold-plated settings. High-quality gems, indistinguishable from mined diamonds, are set in solid 14K gold or platinum.Pricing
Low-grade stones are used in costume jewelry, typically priced under $15. Medium-grade stones feature in sterling silver jewelry, usually under $100. High-grade gems, undistinguishable from mined diamonds, are set in fine jewelry with prices under $100 per carat. Diamonds priced over $100 per carat don’t necessarily offer better quality than those between $80 and $100.Recommendations
For those prone to misplacing jewelry, affordable options from major retailers suffice. On clearance, jewelry can be found for under $5. Medium-grade simulated diamonds in silver settings may not convincingly mimic mined diamonds and can cause skin discoloration due to nickel/copper alloys.Plated settings use low to medium-grade stones, and their finishes can chip, exposing base metals. For high-quality diamond-like attributes, choose 14K solid gold settings. Jewelers that provide lab-created diamonds in such settings typically use top-grade stones, ensuring quality and customer satisfaction.
