Lab Grown Diamonds - A Diamond For The Future
Earth mined diamonds are a gift from nature, but lab grown diamonds are a brilliant testament to human technology and intelligence. If you were fortunate enough to be wondering through a clear shallow stream somewhere, you might just stumble upon an unremarkable, irregular shaped pebble and if you knew what you were looking at you might realise it was a rough diamond you had just found. It would be a very lucky find. From that point on, the rough crystal begins a journey from there to the cutter whose job it is to bring out the hidden fire within the rough crystal. It has taken diamantaires generations of jealously guarded secret knowledge, of how to bring out the best optical characteristics of such an ‘unremarkable’ pebble and release the brilliance and fire of a polished, round brilliant cut diamond. With human ingenuity, now creating the crystal itself, there is a wonderful symmetry where artisans are skilfully further beautifying this all-man-made magnificent gemstone. A lab-grown diamond is a diamond for the future. It is environmentally superior to earth mined diamonds, using only carbon and electricity to manufacture them. Although much electricity is currently generated by coal, more and more electricity is produced by green generation, the future can only be brighter over the long term. The physical damage earth mining does to the planet is massive as it takes 250 tons of crushed rock to find 1.00carat of diamonds, usually by digging giant craters and creating massive tailings which are harmful to both fauna and wildlife.
