An Overview of Lab Grown Diamonds
Cultured diamonds, artificial diamonds, or synthetic diamonds are the other terms to describe Lab grown diamonds, but they have formed new trends in the last few years. These diamonds are synthetically produced by taking advantage of modern novel technological methods of growing mimicked diamonds. As it stands, it is a man made diamond that possesses several attributes like physical, chemical as well as optical properties similar to a natural diamond thus fit for clients who seek an ethically sourced diamond.
What Defines a 6 Carat Diamond
Carat is the term that is used to refer to a measurement unit applied when referring to the mass of diamonds as well as gems. Standard measure is 200 milligrams and this is stated to be equivalent to one carat. A 6 carat diamond is therefore a diamond that weighs 1 carat since the unit of measurement in the carat is used to weigh the gemstones. 2 grams. Carat weighs have great influence on size and appearance of a diamond and therefore a 6 carat diamond bears testimony to the fact that it is impressive and great to behold when in a jewellery.
The Process Involved in Culturing Diamond in a Laboratory
HPHT: High Pressure High Temperature
As for this technique, it is relevant to mention that the HPHT method works most efficiently in terms of creating geophysical conditions that are observed within the mantle layer of the Earth, which involves the pressure and high temperature. The process of developing the diamond also includes putting a small diamond seed into the carbon and carving it into a tidy cube before packing it under enormously high pressure and heat until the carbon forms around the seed to make a diamond.
CVD : Chemical Vapour Deposition
The CVD method entails embedding of a diamond seed in fact within a container consisting of carbon containing compounds. The gas is ionised and made into plasma and the brought to the seed on which the carbon atoms are deposited to form the diamond. This method provides a good variety of the decision about the diamond formation hence providing high quality gemstones with less defects.
Benefits that come with 6 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Rings.
Cost-Effectiveness
Lab grown diamonds are normally cheaper than natural diamonds, and this can cost up to 20-40% cheaper. Rubin Brothers gains this cost advantage especially with 6 carat and above stones, catering to luxury jewellery at reduced costs without a compromise of quality.
Ethical and Environmental Considerations
Purchasing lab grown diamonds is favourable both environmentally friendly and free from the ethical trends of diamond mining. It is important to note, the diamonds sold and those that are passed are free from conflict meaning your money does not jin any bad activities including employment of forceful labour or pollute the environment.
Quality and Purity
Lab grown diamonds may contain fewer inclusions and impurities than natural diamonds, distinguished and characterised by their lightness. Techniques also help to manufacture synthetic diamonds of great quality and clarity that might even be better than mined diamonds.
How to Pick a Great 6 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Ring
The Four Cs: The four C’s of Diamonds that most people are conversant with are Carat, cut, colour and clarity.
- Carat: Concentration on the carat weight should be made with an aim of ensuring that the described diamond size matches the size required.
- Cut: The cut impacts on the diamond in that it reduces its brilliance. The most common ones for big diamonds are round, princess, and emerald types.
- Colour: As mentioned earlier, lab grown diamonds are not restricted to the basic colour of white or clear and thus come in different colours. From C1 plain weave to D-F for a colourless fabric of superior quality.
- Clarity: Cutting clarities, especially IF and VVS, denotes a large proportion of freedom from inclusions and blemishes hence making the diamond to look good.
Setting and Design
In as much as this is the case, the setting and design should harmonise with that of the size and shape of the central diamond. Some of the possible 6 carat diamonds are solitaire, halo and three stone settings. This size also determines the general appearance of the 6 carat lab grown diamond ring depending on the metal used – platinum, white gold, yellow gold or rose gold.
Conclusion
Purchasing a 6 carat lab grown diamond ring is an affirmation of luxury, compliance to the Universal DeBeers Principles of Conduct, and environmental sustainability. These diamonds are mass-produced and are said to be as beautiful and valuable as the naturally formed diamonds sometimes at a cheaper price. It is now clear that lab-made diamonds have similar quality to the mined ones, their benefits and other features help to make a proper and confident decision, which will make a ring a symbol of sophistication and responsible choice.
