White Man Made Diamonds: Creation, Availability, Pricing

MiaDonna® White Man Made Diamonds: REAL diamonds made by man…

Compare White Man Made Diamonds to earth mined diamonds

Man Made Diamonds also described as Synthetic Diamonds, Cultured Diamonds, Lab Created Diamonds or Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds that are both, optically, physically, atomically and chemically identical to a natural diamond. These diamonds are grown in a lab environment that replicates the earth’s natural growing process. Synthetic man made diamonds are identical to earth mined diamonds and are solid, pure carbon diamonds. MiaDonna’s® line of man made diamonds will absolutely test positive on any jewelers diamond tester and all come with either EGLUSA or GIA certified grading reports.

 Growing White Man Made Diamonds

MiaDonna® man made diamonds are mostly grown using a Bars Press. Growing a white diamond requires an incredibly controlled environment. The heat and pressure must remain consistent through the entire growing process. Any fluctuation or change within the growth cell can cause the diamond itself to stop growing or can create heavy inclusions in the new growth making it unusable.

 Extracting the nitrogen and boron from the growth cell to remove the color from the diamond lattice also causes the diamond to grow much slower. White diamonds typically take up to two weeks or longer to grow a 1.0 carat stone.

 It is the extended growth time, the need to extract certain elements from the growth cell and the demand to keep the heat and pressure consistent that makes growing a white diamond so difficult and thus contributes to their limited availability. Learn more on how to grow a diamond.

 Pricing White Man Made Diamonds

Unlike earth mined diamonds, Synthetic Grown Diamonds are in very limited supply. The process used to create a white diamond is also the most time consuming and temperamental. Given that white earth mined diamonds are in abundance and White Synthetics are in limited supply the cost ends up being very comparable. A typical 1.0 carat Synthetic Diamond will range from $5,600 to $10,000. White Synthetic Diamonds are priced nearly identically to mined diamonds using the cut, carat weight, color and clarity to determine their individual worth. With that being said, the environmental and humanitarian benefits to purchasing a Synthetic Diamond are incomparable to the conflict and human rights violations associated with every earth mined diamond.

 Availability of White Man Mad Diamonds

 White diamonds also described as colorless are the most sought after diamonds. While ‘white earth mined diamonds’ are the most plentiful in nature, the exact opposite is true for ‘White Synthetic Diamonds’ made in a lab.

White Synthetic Diamonds are the hardest color to produce and also take the longest to grow. The largest Synthetic White Diamonds being produced today get upwards of nearly 1.0 carat. However, the average size available and the average size offered by MiaDonna & Co.® is typically between 0.40 to 0.60 carats.

MiaDonna® prides itself on being a research company and will always be at the forefront of the best and latest technologies in Man Made Diamond science, however, we believe it will be many years before White Synthetic Diamonds are produced in larger sizes (above 0.80ct and in the colorless range) on a consistent basis.

One thing to consider is the availability of vivid yellow, pink and fancy blue diamonds. All Synthetic Blue, Pink and Yellow Diamonds are incredibly rare in nature and offer a very unique look to any piece of jewelry.

Many people who are in search of a White Synthetic Diamond find a colored Synthetic Diamond to be even more desirable after taking some time to research these rare colored stones. The lack of availability in the Synthetic White Diamonds is the reason MiaDonna & Co.® developed the MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid®. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid® is a simulant that still uses the same synthetic carbon. However, it consists of a non-precious crystal core that is infused at a molecular level on its outer layer with a form of Synthetic Diamond. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid® is stunning and offered in D to G color, VVS1 to VS2 clarity and up to 6.0 carats in size. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid® also has a tested refractive index of 2.24 which is closer to a natural diamond than any other simulant being produced today.

BUYER BEWARE

White or Colorless Synthetic Diamonds are currently only available in sizes up to 1.0 carat, cost thousands of dollars per carat and are extremely limited in supply. If you see a company using technological phrases like “Man Made”, “Lab Created” or “Synthetic” in conjunction with a product that only costs hundreds of dollars and is available in a very large size – Buyer Beware! There is a very strong possibility that said company is using these descriptive terms to mislead and inaccurately advertise a simulant, most of the time it is plain Cubic Zirconia.

If you’re interested in a Synthetic White Diamond and are unable to find one we suggest you have a look at the MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid®, which is a superior simulant that employs an infused layer of Man Made Diamond. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid® is nearly two times harder than CZ, has a friction co-efficient lower than that of Teflon giving it a superb ability to repel dirt and grim and has a tested refractive index closer to an earth mined diamond than any other diamond alternative being produced today.
