Lab-Created Colored Diamond Simulants:
In nature, diamonds acquire color by being "contaminated" with precisely dispersed impurities infused within them.
Nitrogen will create a yellow diamond; boron and cobalt will create a blue diamond, etc.
Our colored diamond simulants are created in exactly the same way as in nature. The same chemicals that
create natural colored stones are introduced into the matrix during the crystal forming stage, and they
produce the same color ranges in our stones as are found in mined diamonds. The color in our stones is not
created with a coating, a doublet, or a chemical deposition process as is the case with some of our competitor's
gemstones.

and they are highly sought after and highly valued. Diamond Nexus lab-created colored gemstones exactly

FAQ - Lab-Created Gemstones look Amazing, Much Better than the Natural Mined Stones I See in Jewelry Stores: Why?
A common reaction of our customers when they see their DNL jewelry is that they are amazed by its beauty.
The diamonds are white, full of fire and brilliance, and our colored stones; rubies, emeralds and sapphires
are deep, rich, vibrant and full of life.
What our customers are seeing is what these beautiful precious gemstones should look like,
but today, so
seldom do.
A hundred years ago, fine jewelry was a luxury attainable to only the very affluent.
A diamond engagement ring was not the norm, and in America especially, was seldom given.
Then came the DeBeers Diamond Cartels advertising campaign, "A Diamond is Forever" (started in 1947) which
|
convinced Americans that a diamond engagement ring was a necessity. As the campaign progressed,
that necessity had an assessed value: two months salary. That value increased over time to three
months salary by the 1980's. This ad campaign, one of the most successful in history, transformed the US
jewelry market. The demand for diamonds skyrocketed. But truly high quality diamonds are rare, so the
increased demand inevitably led to a drop in diamond quality, and by association, the quality of other
colored gems. All of this means that the stones which comprise the norm for many engagement rings today
(for example an "I" or "J" color, SI-2 diamond) are stones that fifty or sixty years ago a true fine
jeweler would not even have carried as they would have been considered to have such an off color.
