A while ago you mentioned having purchased a ring with lab-grown gems. Would you mind sharing where you got it? Or where, in general, one can buy such jewelry? (No worries if you'd rather not say!)

Sure! I got my ring from Brilliant Earth, though I did look at other moissanite sellers like Moissanite Co. and Charles & Covard. BE is ~controversial~ in that it is probably a bit overpriced for the jewelry it sells, and I've seen a lot of complaints about slow shipping times and bad customer service (I haven't experienced that but others have), but I really love my ring.

For other sellers (and I know this largely because I frequent r/EngagementRings), Ritani is apparently the best and the cheapest for lab grown diamonds. There are apparently a lot of very good moissanite/other gemstones than diamonds rings on Etsy, but you need to be picky about particular sellers.

My wedding ring doesn't have stones but I got it through CustomMade, and I used their guides for gemstones other than diamonds a lot when looking. I'd really recommend them if you have something very specific in mind.

How to Buy Lab-Grown Loose Diamonds? 

Lab-grown loose diamonds are diamonds that have been created in a laboratory setting, as opposed to being mined from the earth. These diamonds are made using a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) process. They are virtually identical to natural diamonds in terms of physical and chemical properties and are graded using the same criteria as natural diamonds, such as cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.

Lab-grown loose diamonds can be used for a variety of purposes, such as being set into jewelry, used for industrial purposes, or as a collectible. They are becoming increasingly popular among consumers who are looking for ethically and sustainably sourced diamonds, as well as those who want to save money.

If you are thinking to buy loose diamonds, then it is important to ensure that the diamond has been certified by a reputable organization. These certifications provide assurance that the diamond is a genuine lab-grown diamond and that it has been graded and evaluated according to industry standards.

Loose lab-created diamonds are also considered more environmentally friendly than mined diamonds. They are also considered more affordable as compared to natural diamonds. It's important to note that lab-grown diamonds are not synthetic or imitation diamonds, they are real diamonds, with the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds. So, you can buy loose diamonds online or in retail from an authentic dealer.

While buying loose diamond stones for sale, or if you are planning to purchase the cheapest loose diamonds online, it is important to keep in mind several key factors to ensure that you're getting a high-quality diamond at a fair price. Here are a few steps to consider when buying lab-grown loose diamonds:

Research and Compare: Research different suppliers of lab-grown loose diamonds, compare prices and quality and make sure that the supplier is reputable and has a good reputation.

Certifications: Make sure that the diamond has been certified by a reputable organization such as the International Gemological Institute (IGI) or the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). These certifications provide assurance that the diamond is a genuine lab-grown diamond and that it has been graded and evaluated according to industry standards.

Quality: Consider the diamond's 4 C's (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight) to ensure that you're getting a high-quality diamond.

Ask for more information: Before making a purchase, ask the supplier for more information on the diamond's origin, how it was grown, and any other important details.

Purchase from a Trusted Source: It is highly recommended to purchase from a reputable diamond merchant or online store, which has a good track record and positive customer feedback.

Confirm the Return Policy: In case you are not satisfied with the diamond or have any doubts, make sure that you understand the return policy of the supplier or merchant.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that you're getting a high-quality lab-grown loose diamond at a fair price. Remember that lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds and have the same physical and chemical properties as mined diamonds. It's also important to remember that not all lab-grown diamonds are created equal, so it is important to do your research before making a purchase.

How does the diamond’s shape affect its price?

Diamonds are expensive stones because of the quality it possess. It is brilliant, beautiful, flawless, and enduring. One of the most notable features that are unique to diamond is its hardness. Diamond is the hardest gem to date according to the Moh’s scale and it is what makes it useful in so many ways. It does not break or damage easily that is why it is used in many different industries. Aside from using it on jewelry, it can also be useful in the industrial field, the health industry, and even for cosmetic purposes (does diamond peel ring a bell?).

One of the cheapest ways to get a diamond is to buy loose lab grown diamonds. Laboratory-made diamonds are cheaper because it didn’t take millions of years to create them. It only took weeks to months for lab-grown diamonds to be created in the same process as natural diamonds. Despite the shorter process, lab-created diamonds are real diamonds as it exhibits the same qualities of the natural diamonds. The 4C’s to remember in getting a diamond are the cut, color, clarity, and carat, and these very features are found in lab-grown diamonds and earth mined-diamonds. The 4C’s of a lab-grown diamond can be manipulated therefore; it is also the cheapest or most affordable way to own a unique and customized diamond.

Now, one of C’s which is the “Cut” or shape of the diamond also commands the price of loose lab created diamonds. Why? It is because the shape or cut of a diamond is the most visual aspect of the stone. Round cut diamonds are the most expensive because it takes another larger rough diamond to shape a round diamond and it requires precision on the cutting process. Also, there’s a lot of discarded loose diamonds in making the round cut.

Since round-shaped diamonds are expensive, fancy cuts are an alternative to this. The princess cut is the most popular fancy cut which is less expensive the round diamonds. The fancy diamonds are striking, unique in appearance, and still have complex faceting. The other fancy shapes are the pear, oval, and marquise diamonds.

The diamond shape that has a lower price in the hierarchy is the emerald and the asscher cut. These diamond shapes do not discard many loose stones in the process of making it. The emerald shape features step cuts that require lesser precision and it is simpler in design. Still, the emerald cut is very elegant in design and has the classic look.

The other diamond cuts that can be found in the market are the heart, radiant, trillion, and cushion. These diamond shapes are perfect for any type of jewelry and are more affordable especially the lab-created ones.

To get the cheapest diamonds, one can shop for online lab-grown diamonds which is lower than 40% of most mined diamonds. It is available in many colors, cut, carat and clarity. Visit www.skylabdiamond.com  to learn more about lab-grown diamonds.

(via The New Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid)

Profound changes are closing the gap between the world’s poorest consumers and others, offering an unprecedented opportunity for businesses to create — and share in — prosperity.

By Deepa Prahalad

Almost 20 years ago in a strategy+business article, my father, C.K. Prahalad, and his colleague Stuart L. Hart debuted a simple but radical idea. They argued that the 4 billion poor people around the world represented a vibrant consumer market, that this market could best be tapped with for-profit models, and that the poor themselves had to be partners in the process. This challenged many long-held assumptions about the role of both government and business in addressing poverty. At the time, their thinking (which had been rejected for four years by scholarly journals) invited polite skepticism at best. Much of the hesitation to engage with their ideas stemmed from a belief that uplifting the poor was the domain of government and nonprofits, or was simply too risky. Most businesses lacked the insight and cost structures to reach poor consumers. There was a persistent belief that needs such as shelter and nutrition had to be addressed before the poor could understand — and pay for — aspirational products and technology. Sadly, this pessimism was as common among elites in emerging markets as it was in the West.

Nevertheless, the idea of merging profit and purpose at what my father and Hart termed the bottom of the pyramid and that many now refer to as the base of the pyramid captured the imagination of both corporations and the development community. What began in strategy+business as a blueprint for what was possible grew into two editions of a book, The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, authored by my father, profiling companies and social-sector organizations that had created successful business initiatives in developing economies. And unlike many management ideas that have come and gone, the concept of the bottom of the pyramid continues to inspire vibrant conversation today. I think the reason is that it speaks to the aspirations of managers and consumers alike. It represents a fundamentally optimistic view about the ability of the poor and people inside organizations to collaborate and make the world a better place.

Nearly 20 years after the article’s publication, the idea of business as a force for good has taken hold, and the discussion around poverty has changed, too. Since my father’s passing in 2010, I’ve revisited many of the organizations and people he profiled in his book. I’ve advised entrepreneurs, served on nonprofits, and worked on bottom-of-the-pyramid innovation. It’s clear to me that three fundamental shifts are affecting the world’s poor and their role as consumers:

• Most importantly, a dramatic reduction in extreme poverty around the world has created opportunities for entrepreneurial solutions to many social problems and narrowed the gap between developed and bottom-of-the-pyramid markets.

• Technology — including the widespread use of cell phones among the world’s poor — is significantly lowering the cost of communication and learning. This is enabling companies to develop, deliver, and scale many important services, such as bank payments to mobile phones.

• Not only are industry and civil society ready to accept the narrative of innovation as the antidote to poverty, but there’s a rising expectation that businesses should try to make the world a better place.

The solutions to today’s pressing social problems cannot be decided by debate; they must be discovered through experimentation. The opportunity is huge: Companies are now in a great position to improve life for the world’s poor while also improving their bottom line.

Rapid Change Means Goals Are Changing, Too

The World Bank estimates that since 1990, 1.1 billion people have moved out of extreme poverty. One major reason is that the United Nations Development Programme’s Sustainable Development Goals have offered many stakeholders in the poverty problem the strategic clarity they need to successfully collaborate in bringing about change. Data from the International Monetary Fund shows that the fastest-growing economies in the world are in emerging markets. This powerful combination of reform and rapid economic growth is on display in countries such as India, where the World Data Lab’s World Poverty Clock shows that about 40 people per minute overcome extreme poverty. The transition is in progress in many parts of Africa, too (although there is tremendous variation in poverty rates on the continent), with Chinese investment leading economic growth. The idea of the world’s poor as active consumers is no longer dubious. They are now purchasing a range of goods and services, including consumer products and cell phone plans.

Because of this overall reduction in extreme poverty, the conversation about the bottom of the pyramid has shifted from how to alleviate poverty to how to address deep inequality — and not just in developing countries. A comparison of the world economic pyramid from my father’s original paper with 2017’s numbers tells an interesting story (see “A Tale of Two Pyramids”). In 2017 there were fewer people at the bottom of the pyramid (3.4 billion, compared with 4 billion in 2000). Income tiers had also risen so significantly by 2017 that it’s now extremely challenging to directly relate them on the two charts. In 2000, the richest 20 percent of the world’s population accounted for about 85 percent of global income. By 2017, there was a new concentration of wealth at the top. The Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report (pdf) for that year showed that approximately 86.3 percent of global wealth was controlled by 8.6 percent of the population. Oxfam reports that 42 individuals now possess the same cumulative wealth as the bottom 3.6 billion people on the planet. Poverty has decreased and access to technology has accelerated, but the widely held idea that the income pyramid would transform into a diamond, with wealth concentration in the middle, has not yet become a reality.

   Nevertheless, there has been significant progress at the bottom, and both multinational corporations and local innovators have driven the progress. The original strategy+business article cited “information poverty” as a major roadblock to development and pointed out that “half of humanity has yet to make a single phone call.” That claim no longer holds, as local companies — Kenya’s Safaricom, India’s Reliance, China’s Alibaba, and many others — have grown in size and sophistication, in both product and service offerings, giving rise to more entrepreneurial cultures and making technology accessible to the world’s poor. In some cases, the technology is even more accessible than low-priced products. For example, in 2009, India’s Tata released the Nano, dubbed the “world’s cheapest car,” at a price point of US$2,500. But the way the car was marketed hindered its appeal among its intended consumers, and Tata halted production in 2017. Meanwhile, ride-sharing apps such as Uber and Indian local alternative Ola have enjoyed brisk growth, and Ola is now expanding overseas. Everyone can both use these platforms and find work on them, and in the future, some of these services may help fulfill last-mile delivery challenges, too. And companies such as Amazon, which is training many small vendors around the world to scale up and become credible brands in their own right, are also helping to propel growth.

Access to technology enables growth for consumers and businesses. And these days, the fortunes of many tech companies rely heavily on their performance in bottom-of-the-pyramid markets. China’s Xiaomi, for example, sold 100,000 phones in less than 10 seconds on India’s e-commerce platform several years ago and is the world’s fifth-largest cell phone maker, despite having no sales in the U.S. to date. (Apple is the only Western company in the top five.) India’s Reliance launched the 4G Jio network, which has 215 million subscribers and is spurring e-commerce growth in the country. And Warren Buffett made his first investment in India in August 2018, taking a stake in One97 Communications, which owns payments firm Paytm.

The evolution of technology has dramatically affected life at the bottom of the pyramid — and created new opportunities. The poor all over the world now have cell phones. Companies no longer have to guess about the preferences and opinions of the bottom of the pyramid when they innovate — they can ask directly. Big data and a payments infrastructure exist for consumers at all income levels.

The statistics, though, can never adequately capture the palpable changes on the ground or give a complete sense of the new dynamics now at work. Kenya, for example, had a per capita income of only US$1,507 in 2017, according to the World Bank. Yet Kenya’s 10 most valuable brands include Safaricom (telecom), M-Pesa (money transfer), local radio and TV outlets, Facebook, and banking and power companies, many of which serve consumers across income categories. The traditional view of needs explains very little of what is being adopted and purchased at scale in emerging markets. The picture in most countries mirrors this trend — purchases among the poor are a reflection of aspiration rather than pure need. Savvy companies and social innovators today often leverage this phenomenon.

Bottom of the Pyramid Converging with Other Tiers

The original bottom-of-the-pyramid vision suggested that companies that innovated successfully for the poorest markets might be able to attract consumers in developed countries too. Since then, the gap between these markets has narrowed, which means companies of all sizes should be able to capture both types of consumer by considering their common wants in five specific areas:

Companies with a higher purpose. Business leaders today face pressure to deliver profits while also contributing to society. Changing consumer attitudes show that people like companies engaging on social issues. And many employees, especially millennials, want to work at firms that use innovation as a force for good in the world. It is increasingly common for leaders to articulate a vision of how their companies can contribute to a higher purpose. Larry Fink of BlackRock used his 2018 annual letter to CEOs to call for companies in the portfolio to directly contribute to the community. India’s Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance, drew public support for the company’s 4G Jio network by declaring “digital life will no longer be the privilege of the affluent few.” Given all this support for purpose-driven businesses, it might be less risky than it once was to make big bets in unfamiliar territory.

Trust and community before transactions. Trust is a central precursor to scale. For example, creating opportunities for consumers to sample products and enlisting local salespeople has been critical to the success of the personal care, snack, and detergent businesses. Many companies have invested heavily in product development, but fall short on customer service. Increased competition, which puts pressure on companies to provide better customer service, and new platforms for feedback, delivery, and co-creation, which help companies understand what customers want, can help address this gap and establish and maintain trust.

Design for a fraction of the cost. Big data allows businesses to draw on insights and come up with products and services at radically reduced price points. Rather than relying on limited samples or anecdotal evidence, companies can track actual purchase behavior and transactions to get a sense of the design elements and attributes that consumers value. Companies around the world can already access new markets through platforms such as Amazon. And a new Target line of 70 essentials and personal-care items, dubbed Smartly (with most items costing less than US$2), is at an attractive price point for global markets. The line can challenge established brands in the U.S. and appeals to consumers in many different markets. New feature phones from Reliance are available in India for the equivalent of US$20. In addition, new ways of consuming, especially shared ownership, are allowing people to access previously unattainable goods and experiences.

A blend of luxury and economy. If you look at a list of the top 100 global brands today, both the luxury and mass market sectors are well represented. Tech companies, which attract consumers across a wide range of incomes, are exceptions. However, many of the companies in emerging markets have never had the freedom to serve just one sector or the other. A volatile world will require companies to create products and services that appeal to customers across a much wider swath of income levels. Tata, for example, has credibility in the luxury category and in the middle- and bottom-of-the-pyramid markets. Its brand requires design with similar standards — albeit different aesthetics — across all consumer categories.

Creation of social codes and norms. The role of business in helping to establish social codes and norms is at the heart of its power to transform society. Regardless of a person’s income or profession, daily survival requires a series of transactions — through cash, barter, or credit. The way those transactions are constructed affects how easily people are able to transition between professions, locations, and lifestyles. The need to be heard and respected is universal, and the engagement of firms is helping make this happen for a much larger community than ever before. For example, because many roads in Kenya don't have names and buildings lack numbers, even receiving a piece of mail was a stressful and onerous process for many people until MPost allowed people to use their mobile number as a postal address.

It finally feels as though the debate about how to create social impact is getting louder than the debate about whether business has an obligation to do so.

       As the definition of a decent standard of living continues to advance, businesses and governments are trying to figure out how to manage what I deem “the good bad news.” For example, the World Health Organization reports (pdf) that non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, now account for 80 percent of deaths in emerging countries. This figure indicates that economic growth has brought progress in some areas, including infectious disease, maternal health, and life expectancy, all driven by economic growth. But this change also imposes tremendous strain on societies now forced to cope with hunger and diabetes at the same time. This is a pattern that is global in nature — progress, even as it creates benefits in certain areas, creates new pressures and problems in other areas. Sustainability challenges will require businesses to balance new customers’ aspirations to consume with environmental concerns. Rich and poor countries will be grappling with similar problems — but the potential is great for good solutions to scale.

Reflections on the Journey

Long before it coalesced into a framework, aspects of the bottom-of-the-pyramid story were a part of my life and dinner table conversation. Seeing the way it has evolved over the years has taught me that even if life isn’t fair, companies and individuals can strive to make it more so. For me, the impact of this idea is measured in moments. It’s in the interactions I have today, some of which were unthinkable when I was a child.

Ice cream was once taxed as a luxury in India. When I had it, it truly felt like a guilty pleasure because it was out of reach for so many. My father challenged local entrepreneurs to create an ice cream that everyone could enjoy. Today, there is a popular ice cream bar that retails for Rs 7 (about US$0.10), and now when I’m in India, I see day laborers in line alongside me to buy treats for their children. Some aspects of my identity, such as my American accent, no longer create a barrier, but open a conversation instead. A store clerk once noticed my accent and asked me to read out a list of words so he could record it and share it with his accent correction class. When I asked him what he wanted to do with that training, he patiently explained that he planned to work in customer service for a few years, and perhaps start his own business someday. In my interactions with people traditionally at the bottom of the pyramid, I’ve slowly been able to move beyond empathy to engagement and friendship. My WhatsApp contacts list now includes tailors, forest rangers, and drivers — many of the people I could only smile at politely in years past. Today, we share family photos, jokes, and ideas.

But that is only half of the story. Back at home in the U.S. and in management forums, the conversation has changed, too. It finally feels as though the debate about how to create social impact is getting louder than the debate about whether business has an obligation to do so. My excitement about the bottom of the pyramid is no longer rooted in its promise. It is continuously renewed in conversations with entrepreneurs and in seeing the actual ventures the bottom-of-the-pyramid idea has inspired. It’s in realizing that skepticism has given way to thoughtful questions. Mainstream business magazines now profile multinational corporations that are striving to win over rural consumers. There is competition among investors and fear of missing out on the growth opportunities in emerging markets. My LinkedIn invitations have multiplied over the years, too, largely with the addition of people with business ideas that serve — or at least seek to include — consumers at the bottom of the pyramid. The people who were once dismissed are being studied and discussed, and slowly being brought into the conversation. Local innovators are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Most importantly, the conversation about how to uplift the disenfranchised and address inequality in rich countries is now part of the public discourse.

There is still a long way to go, and the answers to many pressing social questions remain elusive. I believe the impact of the bottom-of-the-pyramid idea was that it injected both pragmatism and optimism into the debate, thereby helping to direct the innovative capacity of business in places where it was needed the most. As business leaders grapple with daunting challenges, they can and should continue to engage directly on social issues with faith that their efforts can make a difference — because they already have. Business has already made the world a better place by creating shared experiences and aspirations. The challenge ahead will be in unleashing innovation to create shared prosperity.

The beauty of 2 Carat Diamond ring is breathtaking. They stand out on your partner’s finger and draw everyone’s attention to her. The ring takes centre stage, and you get to proudly stand there as she proudly displays her stunning gem to all of her friends and family.

However, if you start asking about the pricing of 2 carat diamonds when it’s time to buy the diamond, you might be surprised! Warning: 2 carat diamonds are substantially more expensive than 1 carat diamonds.

It would seem natural that if a 1 carat diamond costs roughly $4,000, a 2 carat diamond would cost around $8,000…right? But, unfortunately, diamond pricing does not function like that.

2 Carat Diamond Engagement Rings are of exceptional dazzle, shine, and exude brightness quality. However, even minor faults can lead to significant concerns when purchasing such a massive diamond. This beautiful 2 carat diamond is worlds apart in quality from this seemingly similar gem.

If you’re shopping for a 2 carat diamond ring, there are a few things to consider. Diamonds of this carat that are well cut are rare, and searching for them necessitates excellent care. The selection of a diamond, ring, and vendor should be meticulous. To get the most bang for your buck, you’ll need to understand the 4cs of diamonds. These fundamentals will assist you in selecting a diamond that is extraordinarily dazzling and lively.

Do You Know What is a 2 Carat Diamond?

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats (or two carats). A carat is equivalent to 400 milligrammes (0.4 gramme) of gold. So, to put it into perspective, a 2 carat diamond is about the same weight as half a raisin.

It’s worth noting that, due to their rarity, 2 Carat Diamonds are rarely seen in local stores–and if they are, they’re likely to be of the poor cut quality.

The diameter of a round 2 carat diamond should be roughly 8.10mm. To give you an idea of scale, here are all of the diamond forms next to a quarter. A variety of stunning 2 Carat Diamond engagement rings are available from several reputable diamond dealers. There are huge disparities in the beauty of these diamonds, as well as considerable price variances. Furthermore, a higher price does not automatically imply a superior diamond. Diamonds are all priced per carat when it comes to pricing. A 0.50 carat diamond, for example, may cost $1,400 per carat. The stone’s price in diamonds would be $1,400 x 0.50, or $700.

Looking for a diamond that is just below a new weight category, such as a 1.90-1.99 Carat Diamond, may appear to be favourable. However, this is not the case. Diamond cutters have improved their efficiency, and the pursuit for a “almost” 2 carat diamond has grown in popularity. The price of those particular diamonds rises as a result of the influx, thus the cost reductions are minimal.

While you can look for a 1.90ct+ diamond, in the end, we don’t recommend looking for one explicitly. Without saving anything, you’ll drastically limit your search potential.

What is a 2 Carat Diamond ring?

A 2 carat diamond ring is one in which the centre stone is a 2 carat diamond. A 2 carat diamond ring is one in which the total carat weight of the diamonds is 2 carats, which is a completely different storey.

There is a value per carat that is based on the diamond’s quality, and you can find out how much it costs by multiplying it by the carat weight.

For example, if you have a 2.2 carat oval diamond with G colour and VS1 clarity, the total cost of the diamond is $10,000 * 2.2 = $22,000.

The features of a diamond determine its cost per carat. Color grading, clarity, form, fluorescence, and other characteristics. But also its carat weight. Because larger jewelry-quality diamonds are significantly more difficult to come by than smaller ones, price of the diamond that are identical might be drastically different depending upon the per price of the carat.

What’s the price of 2 Carat Diamond?

A 2 carat diamond’s price can vary significantly based on its shape, cut quality, clarity, colour, and a variety of other characteristics. A 2 carat diamond will cost you anything from $5,000 to $60,000 or more on average.

A magnificent stone like this 2.02 carat Princess Cut Diamond, for example, may be found for $15,540. This diamond has an excellent cut, a near-colorless G colour grading, and a stunning look.

A poorly cut, dull 2 carat diamond can also be found for 60-80% less than the cost of an Excellent cut, extraordinarily brilliant diamond.

This Princess Cut in 14k white gold, for example, is priced for $8,040. It has a “Very Good” cut grade and is slightly included. While this diamond appears to be a terrific value, it lacks beauty and sparkle.

We recommend examining the 4cs of diamond quality for each stone you look at because no two diamonds are exactly the same. Focusing on quality rather than carat weight can get you the most beauty for your money, especially if you’re looking for a larger stone like a 2 carat diamond.

Clarity of 2 Carat Diamond ring

Consider the 4cs of diamonds (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight) to make sure you spend your money on the things that count – and not on things that won’t add value or beauty to your life.

All diamonds, but notably 2 carat diamonds, must be evaluated for clarity. When comparing 2 Carat Diamonds of the same form to 1 Carat Diamonds of the same shape, 2 Carat Diamonds will typically have a larger table (the top, flat levelled surface of a diamond). The number of inclusions, surface imperfections (or blemishes), and extra facets in a diamond is determined by its clarity.

What you see with your own eyes is more essential than what a lab report says about a diamond.

Considering everything to be equal, a low clarity eye-clean diamond will appear identical to a perfect high-quality diamond (yet will cost far, far less). Eye-clean 2 carat diamonds are available, though not as readily as eye-clean diamonds of lesser carat weight.

A consumer’s goal should be to find the cheapest “eye-clean” diamond they can locate (in terms of clarity; other qualities also important). We use the term “eye-clean” to describe diamonds that may have imperfections when examined through a magnifying glass (or microscope or loupe), but that the average person cannot perceive with the naked eye.

How much is a 2 carat diamond ring?

A 2 carat diamond’s price can vary significantly based on its shape, cut quality, clarity, colour, and a variety of other characteristics. A 2 carat diamond will cost you anything from $5,000 to $60,000 or more on average.

How many carat is Kim Kardashian’s ring?

A thin, delicate pave band studded with twinkling diamonds completes the ring. This stunning engagement ring, weighing around 15 diamonds, is believed to cost between $2 million and $4 million.

The national average for an engagement ring in the United States, for example, is roughly one carat. It’s 0.6 carats in the UK, and it’s considerably smaller in Europe, hovering around 0.5 carats.

KEY INDUSTRY TRENDS INFLUENCED BY LAB GROWN DIAMONDS

Lab grown Diamonds have been fighting the battle of acceptance for six decades now. Finally, their time has come. Nowadays, both diamond buyers and sellers are accepting them as mainstream gems.

The myths and misconceptions surrounding synthetic diamonds continue to exist. Despite that, the lab grown diamond industry has grown by leaps and bounds.

The lab created diamond industry is estimated to grow up to $15 billion by 2035. At this pace, they are bound to leave an impact on the industry. So, how are these manmade diamonds shaping up key industry trends? Let's take a quick look!

The Shift in Perspective about Diamonds

Mined diamonds take a billion years to be formed. To excavate these diamonds from the earth's crust is a tedious task. So far, jewelry lovers have regarded diamonds as enigmatic. For them, purchasing exquisite diamond jewelry was a luxury.

But now, diamonds can be produced in labs. These diamonds are purer than those found in nature, and they are 20-30% cheaper than mined diamonds. With the advent of lab grown diamonds, diamonds are now becoming affordable.

The Rise in Demand for Diamonds

When diamonds are available at a lesser price, why wait for the right occasion? Synthetic diamonds have the same chemical composition as mined diamonds, and they are a cheaper alternative. These diamonds entice diamond lovers to purchase more often. Thus, the demand for diamonds is shooting up. This upsurge in diamond consumption is lab-grown diamond’s gift to the industry.

More Millennial Will Purchase Diamonds

Thanks to lab grown diamonds, a whole new target audience has emerged, and they are called the millennial. Mined diamonds with expensive price tags have been out of reach for them. But with lab made diamonds, that is not the case. Also, lab grown diamonds are sustainable. So, they hold a certain appeal for this generation, most of who believe that mining diamonds have adverse environmental effects.

The younger generation is motivated by social influencers and customer reviews. It is likely to lead to an uptick in online shopping for diamonds. So, this is yet another purchase trend influenced by lab grown diamonds.

The Conclusion

To sum it up, lab grown diamonds are here to stay. The position of these diamonds has been further secured by the entry of industry giants like De Beers. Until recently De Beers was resistant to lab diamonds. But, in the last year, they launched their lab-grown fashion jewelry retailer, Lightbox. This move by one of the industry’s biggest influencers is bound to have an impact. The lab-grown diamond market in the US has demonstrated rapid growth over the last year.

Man Made Diamonds

When you pick up two pieces on diamonds, one manmade, one mined, you will never be able to tell the difference. The two are identical to the naked eye. They also have the same chemical composition.

The most intriguing thing about manmade diamonds is the process in which they are made. These diamonds are created by using either the HTHP or the CVD method. Either way, the result is a diamond with the similar properties as the natural diamond but with dissimilar and discernible crystal patterns.

Uses Of Synthetic Diamonds:

1. Machining and cutting tools : Not all diamonds are used for adornment; some are used for mechanical purposes. Diamond is the hardest substance found on earth. Owing to its hardness, diamonds, especially manmade diamonds are used for machine apparatuses and cutting instruments.

2. Thermal conductor: Diamond is a curious stone; it has several uses. Did you know that, unlike metals, manmade diamond has high thermal conductivity, but negligible electrical conductivity? Thus, manmade diamonds are used as heat sink for high-power laser diodes, laser arrays and high- power transistors.

3. Optical material: Manmade diamonds are used for transmitting infrared and microwave radiation. Therefore, they are being increasingly accepted in several areas of optics.

4. Electronics: Manmade diamonds are functional at high temperature environments, and they are resistant to chemical and radiation damages. This makes them a popular choice in the field of electronics.

5. Gemstones : This is the most well-known use of diamonds. Diamonds become priceless once they are delicately embedded into jewels.

Manmade diamonds currently represent approximately 2% of the gem-quality diamond market. However, the market share is likely to grow in the future with advancement in technology.

Top 3 Myths about Lab Grown Diamonds

#1: Lab grown diamonds are not real diamonds

Man-made diamonds or lab created diamonds have the same chemical composition, refractive index, dispersion, hardness, density, and crystalline structure as mined diamonds. In fact, we would go so far as to say that they are identical in every way. Just that, one was found in nature; the other one was formed in a lab by the finest of craftsmen.

And, you don’t even have to take our word for it. Go ahead, and ask your trusted jeweller; they’d tell you the same thing.

#2: Lab created diamonds are not forever

Have you heard that saying: Diamonds are forever? Simple and elegant, isn’t it? And, what could be a better way to capture the timelessness of diamonds? Except that, we would like to take it one step ahead and make it say: Lab Grown Diamonds are forever.

Since mined and man-made diamonds have the same chemical composition; they also share the same strength, durability and aesthetic appeal. They are diamonds, after all!

#3: Lab grown diamonds do not have any re-sale value

Truth be told, this myth is more about mined diamonds than it is about man-made diamonds. Diamonds, like most gems, have intrinsic value that goes up with time. This may make one think that diamonds are good investments, and sure they are; but not if you buy them from a jewellery store at mark-up price. It will still have some resale value but you can’t expect to make an enormous profit unless you own a really rare piece of jewellery, purchased at a wholesale price. The same is true for lab created diamonds.

Also, it may interest you to know that irrespective of origin, diamonds are priced according to an internationally accepted pricing system which takes into consideration, the four Cs: carat, cut, clarity and colour. There is no discrimination there.

So, as a jeweller, you can educate your consumer about the fairness of the pricing strategy of lab grown diamonds, and about its re-sale value. This will help them to overcome their doubts and scepticism, and make an informed purchase.

[classicgrowndiamonds]

THE PROCESS: LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS & HOW THEY'RE MADE!

Lab grown diamonds are generally produced by two main methods, considered to be the very best in the industry: chemical vapour deposition or high-pressure, high-temperature methods. Using the best of technology at Classic Green, we ensure that every diamond we manufacture is 100% pure, while being Sustainable at the same time.

A CVD ("Chemical Vapour Deposition") diamond grown by microwave plasma technology is the highest-quality diamond, though it’s man made diamonds, with properties equal to or better than natural diamonds. They are grown in a highly-controlled environment, using advanced technical processes that replicate the natural method of diamond formation.

On the other hand, HPHT puts a pure, solid carbon source under high pressure and high temperature. In the presence of a catalyst, the pressurized and heated carbon crystalizes into a diamond. HPHT is sometimes used to improve the colour of mined or lab-grown diamonds.

CERTIFICATION

Every diamond manufactured by us has been analysed and graded by either the Gem Certification and Assurance Lab (GCAL) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These two laboratories are among the most respected laboratories in the diamond industry, and are known for their consistency and unbiased diamond grading systems. With this certification, you can rest assured that our diamonds will display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle.

At the same time, these diamonds will also be 100% Sustainable, while being cost-effective at the same time.

Are Lab Diamonds similar to real diamonds? Although grown by scientists instead of created in the earth's crust, lab grown diamonds are absolutely real diamonds—they display the same chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds. Expert gemologists also have a tough time to tell the difference. We have a wide collection of lab created diamonds (also referred to as Lab grown diamonds, solitaire diamonds, man made diamonds) which are chemically, physically and optically identical to 100% mined diamonds. We also offer small loose diamonds at cheapest prices.
