Clarity Enhanced Diamonds vs Lab Created Diamonds

What is a Lab Created Diamond

Lab Created, or cultured, diamonds are man made diamonds that are produced in a controlled environment with many, but not all,of the same carbon atoms as a real diamond. Lab created diamonds sell less than clarity enhanced diamonds, but they have no resale value.

What's hot in the diamond world?

What's hot in the diamond world? That is always the question. Internet diamond sites always ask themselves, "What stock do we need to carry? What color and clarity do our customers want?

Now, let's answer both of those questions. Right now round diamonds, of course, are always in fashion, but oval shapes are hot. We can't find the right supply of ovals, which pushes up the price of non-enhanced ovals and all fancy shapes. We don't know how this occurs because last year, at this very time, cushions were the flavor of the month.  By the way, cushions are still hot! Also, this has the effect of pushing up the prices of enhanced diamonds.

What is the Difference Between Lab Created Diamonds and Clarity Enhanced Diamonds?

Consumers always ask, "what is the difference between Lab Created Diamonds and Clarity Enhanced Diamonds?"

 

Lab created diamonds are simply diamonds that have been created in a laboratory. These diamonds have been chemically, physically and optically treated. Usually, they have been treated so well that they tend to give off too much dispersion, or color, and will not look like a real diamond. The diamond will have more of a synthetic look

 

Can You Tell The Difference Between A Lab Created Diamond and a Mined Diamond?

 

Diamonds that are laboratory created, lab-grown, or man-made may have the same properties that a mined diamond has, but any professional will be able to tell the difference. An important point to consider is that a lab created diamond will definitely be cheaper, however there is no resale value for it. There is always a resale value with a natural mined diamond.

Moissanite Synthetic Diamonds

Moissanite is simply a silicon carbide. When it is under controlled laboratory conditions it will be produced with some of a diamond's optical properties. Moissanite is a very durable gem, and has a mineral hardness on the Mohs hardness scale of 9.5, where a diamond has a 10. TheCheapDiamonds.com does not carry moissanite for a few reasons. Moissanite has too much dispersion, or brilliance and fire, so in our opinion it looks more like cubic zirconia than a natural diamond. In addition, it does not have any resale value. Actually, we quote " Moissanite has been used for scams and fraud pretending to be a diamond."
