Click here to learn more about IGI’s contributions to the science behind diamond certification and grading. The lab pioneered several innovations in the diamond evaluation process, and trains some of the world’s top gemologists. IGI was founded in 1975 in Antwerp, Belgium, a long-standing hub for diamond craftsmanship and trading. Both employ some of the world’s leading diamond graders, and are internationally recognized for their expertise in evaluating both mined and lab-grown diamonds. While we partner with several independent diamond certification laboratories, the two most prominent are IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GCAL (Gem Certification and Assurance Lab). Because it never wears off, it functions like a VIN for your Clean Origin lab-created diamond - a guarantee that the stone you buy today is the same one illuminating your (or your loved one’s) finger for years to come. This laser inscription can only be seen under magnification and in no way impacts the beauty of the certified diamond. This report includes a unique identification number and accompanies your diamond.įor added peace of mind, our center diamonds also feature a microscopic inscription of the unique identification number on the girdle of the stone. A visual “map” of the loose diamond further illustrates any inclusions or "birthmarks" that were formed during the creation of the diamond. The laboratory then issues a formal report, grading each attribute in detail. Evaluators use high precision microscopes and standardized scientific techniques designed for accuracy and consistency. These include cut, color, clarity, carat weight, polish, symmetry, and other key characteristics. Here's how it works: The Clean Origin Diamond Certification ProcessĪ fully certified, independent diamond grading laboratory evaluates quality by using the stone's unique attributes.
This gives us (and you!) confidence that the evaluation process is uniform and objective. We only partner with independent, internationally recognized laboratories, including GCAL and IGI, which we’ll talk about more in depth later on. That is why each Clean Origin lab-created diamond center stone that you buy is independently verified and graded for quality using the same scientific standards applied to mined diamonds. This attribute means that you can purchase large quantity of diamonds that were created in a lab for the same price as a single synthetic diamond.We understand that buying a diamond is a significant milestone, as well as potentially one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make. Lab-created diamonds are available in the same carat range as mined diamonds. What carat quality are lab-created diamonds? While its common to believe that diamonds are only available in white or black, these precious gemstones are actually available in many other colors as well. What colors of lab-created diamonds are available?ĭiamonds that have been grown in a lab are available in the same colors as diamonds that have been mined. They feature a central facet that breaks up into eight, 10, or 12 radiant facets. Round cut: Round-cut stones are circular.Cushion cut: Cushion-cut diamonds are square, and they have rounded corners.Princess cut: Stones that have been prepared in princess style have sharp corners and are four-sided.Radiant cut: Diamonds that have been cut in radiant style feature facets that extend outward from the center of the stone.While diamonds that have been created in a lab differ from mined diamonds in many ways, they are offered in the same cuts as diamonds that have been mined. What sorts of cuts are used with lab-created diamonds? In the lab, scientists painstakingly create conditions that exactly mirror those in which normal diamonds are made, and the result is a product that is just as real as a diamond that was mined out of the earth. While normal diamonds are developed deep beneath the earth under tremendous geological pressure, lab-created diamonds are made in highly controlled laboratory settings. How are lab-created diamonds different from other diamonds? Lab-created diamonds offer a number of unique qualities, and you can pick from among the diverse varieties that are available in this assortment from eBay. Theres nothing like diamond jewelry for displaying your unique style attributes for everyone to see at a party or a romantic dinner. Bright and Shiny Loose Lab-Created Diamonds for Various Settings
