How are Lab Grown Diamonds made?

As professionals in the jewelry sector, Here at Dev Jewels, we wish to provide you a thorough overview of diamonds. The 4Cs of diamond quality—diamond color, diamond cut, diamond clarity, and diamond carat weight—can be confusing, making it difficult to select the ideal diamond. All that you require to understand about diamonds, including lab-grown diamonds, diamond forms, diamond certification and grading, considerations to make when purchasing a diamond, and diamond care and maintenance, will be covered below.

Lab-grown diamonds are a popular alternative to mined diamonds. They are created in a lab under controlled conditions, using advanced technology to replicate the natural diamond formation process. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties as mined diamonds and are less expensive than mined diamonds.

How to choose diamonds?

Choosing the right diamond is crucial, and it starts with understanding the 4C’s of diamond quality. The term "diamond color" refers to a diamond's absence of color since the most expensive diamonds are colorless. A diamond's dimensions, symmetry, and polish are referred to as its cut. The presence of internal and visible faults or imperfections is referred to as a diamond's clarity. The term "carat weight" denotes a diamond's weight.

The 4Cs - cut, clarity, color, and carat weight - are the most important factors when choosing a diamond.

Cut refers to the diamond's proportions, symmetry, and polish and affects its brilliance and fire. Clarity refers to the presence or absence of inclusions and blemishes within the diamond, affecting its beauty and value. Color refers to the presence or absence of color in the diamond, with colorless diamonds being the most valuable. Carat weight refers to the weight of the diamond and affects its size and overall value. Balancing these four factors can help you choose the perfect diamond for your needs and budget.

Importance of choosing the right diamond

Choosing the right diamond is essential because it is a significant investment and represents a special moment or occasion.

The 4Cs of diamond quality include diamond color, diamond cut, diamond clarity, and diamond carat weight. When selecting a diamond, it is crucial to balance all four factors to find the perfect stone.

Diamond Certification and Grading

At Dev Jewels, we understand the importance of diamond certification and grading. We work with reputable labs like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI) to ensure the diamonds we sell are of the highest quality. GIA and IGI are among the most trusted diamond grading labs, and they follow strict standards to evaluate the 4C of diamond. A diamond grading report from GIA or IGI includes important details like the diamond's carat weight, color, cut, clarity, and more. Reading a diamond grading report can be confusing, but we help our customers understand what they are looking at and make an informed decision. We also offer certified diamonds that have been graded by GIA or IGI, ensuring our customers receive a high-quality diamond.

Factors to consider when buying a diamond

When buying a diamond, there are several factors to consider, including budget, personal preferences, and the occasion. We suggest that customers prioritize cut & Clarity quality over size or carat weight because the diamond's cut determines its sparkle and brilliance.

When buying diamonds, knowing which ones are right for you is important. Our diamond layout is the perfect choice for those in the market for an eternity band, offering a continuous circle of diamonds that symbolize everlasting love. If you're looking for a 3 stone ring with a large center stone, our side stones are carefully chosen to complement the center stone, such as pairing a cushion-cut diamond with half-moon diamonds.

Tips for buying a diamond online or in-store

We understand that buying a diamond can be overwhelming, which is why we offer our customers expert guidance, whether they are shopping in-store or online. When buying a diamond online, we recommend reading online grading reports, verifying the seller's credentials, and looking for high-quality images or videos of the diamond. When shopping in-store, we suggest that customers look at diamonds under different lighting and ask to see the diamond's grading report.

Here are some additional tips for caring for your diamond:

  • Store your diamond properly: Store your diamond in a cushion box or separate compartment in your jewelry box to prevent it from getting scratched or damaged. Keep it separate from other jewelry, especially that with tougher stones like sapphires or rubies.
  • Clean your diamond properly: To clean your diamond, use a soft cloth made of velvet or microfiber. Place the diamond gently on the cloth and ensure that you apply only gentle pressure to avoid causing any damage to the stone.
  • Keep your diamond away from harsh chemicals: Avoid using home cleaners and chemicals like chlorine and bleach around your diamond. These chemicals have the ability to damage metals and discolor gems.
  • Remove jewelry during physical activities: It is advisable to remove your jewelry before engaging in any physical activity or working out. Wearing jewelry during such activities can cause diamonds to chip or even break, especially if they are struck at the right angle.
  • Maintain your diamond's worth and brightness: You can make sure your diamond stays gorgeous for years to come by following these straightforward suggestions. Remember that maintaining your diamond's worth and brightness just requires a little bit of care.
