There has been a lot of discussion about diamonds made by laboratories. Along with that conversation, there is a lot of misinformation and confusion. Jewelry lovers, who are interested in realizing the huge savings and aesthetic beauty offered by artificial diamonds, are often confused by the jargon of the diamond industry produced and the choices available. This article will break it down in terms that are easy to understand so that anyone can make intelligent decisions when choosing simulated diamonds. GEM MATERIAL: 99% of all laboratory-made diamonds sold worldwide are polycrystalline at the molecular level. The difference is fundamentally in the technical aspects of making, cutting and polishing. Think of it this way - all coffee makers are made of plastic, steel and glass, the difference is how these materials are designed and implemented. A high quality coffee maker makes a cup of coffee taste better. Diamonds produced with higher quality are in line with diamonds that are mined. QUALITY VARIATIONS: It seems that variations in levels are made into a diamond problem that is made more complicated in the lab than it really is. After boiling, there are three main levels of simulated diamonds - high, medium and low. For jewelry buyers, care must be taken that the quality of the nissui idonesia arrangement is in line with the quality of the gemstones. Those who sell rhinestone jewelry from the place of purchase in the imitation jewelry section of the discount store use low-quality or used stones that are not gem quality, and have disco balls or murky displays. Those who sell diamond jewelry on TV shopping channels - generally with sterling silver or gold-plated micro-thin layers on top of silver settings (vermeil [pronounced ver-may]) - use medium quality stones instead of quality gems. Those who sell 14K solid gold or solid platinum arrangements, as a rule, use high-quality man-made gemstones that mimic diamonds being mined. PRICE: Low grade stones are sold in large quantities to costume jewelry makers and are often fixated on coated settings. This jewelry is good for children, where the risk of loss is high, and usually sells for less than $ 15 per item. You will find middle class stones especially in sterling silver jewelry that are sold at prices under $ 100 per item, setting and stone. Middle class simulated diamonds can be distinguished from the naked eye because they are not mined by diamonds. High quality diamonds made in the laboratory with gemstones, indistinguishable from the naked eye from mined diamonds, were found mounted on a 14K gold and platinum arrangement. This is considered the best jewelry, with the best quality gemstones selling for under $ 100 per carat for gemstones only. Diamonds produced at a price of more than $ 100 per carat are not of higher quality than diamonds that sell for between $ 80 and $ 100 per carat. RECOMMENDATIONS: If you buy for someone who is likely to lose jewelry, there is no reason to spend more than you have to, and Wal-Mart will be fine. On the clearance rack you can even pick up some jewelry for less than $ 5 per item. If you buy a simulated diamond made in pure silver, expect a decent stone, but they will fool some people into thinking it's a mined diamond. In addition, your fingers tend to turn green or black in response to chemical reactions, not with pure silver, but with pure silver nickel / copper alloys. With layered arrangements, low to medium grade gemstones, and coating will eventually come loose, especially around the edges. When that happens, the nickel / copper alloy will open, the settings will look like they came out of a rubber ball machine, and your fingers will generally turn green or black. It's just a matter of common sense, if you want simulated diamonds with quality diamonds mined, they must be set in 14K solid gold. Jewelry that offers diamonds made in the laboratory will not spend money on gold and do not install high quality stones, which will defeat the purpose of creating jewelry such as diamonds and alienating customers.
