Look Elegant With Diamonds
Do you know that diamonds are billions of years old already? Yes, it does not look like it, right? That is the most precious attribute of the diamond – the ability to withstand the tides of time. Its beauty never fades though it is very old already. It has an eternal glow that not all gemstones of the world possess. It also has served as the symbol of wealth or royalty for decades because of its value and the eternal allure of this gem.
A diamond is very strong. In fact, it is regarded as the hardest natural mineral on earth to date. It has a score of 10 in Mohs scale of mineral hardness. A diamond can only be scratched by another diamond; however, if two diamonds are scratched together, both gems will be damaged. A diamond can also cut through glass! A diamond’s rarity is measured through its color. It is regarded that a crystal clear diamond is the most common diamond while the shades of violet and pink are the rarest.
Where do diamonds come from? Like all gemstones, it is taken from the fathoms of earth. This is also mined. Diamonds are formed at a high-pressure area of carbon but at a lower temperature compared to other gems. However, the ground is no longer the only source of diamonds. Today, even laboratories can actually serve as a diamond mine. Yes, there are now man made diamonds that are less pricey compared to the natural diamonds. How is this possible? There are materials called diamond simulants. They look like diamonds, but not really diamonds. They are usually other gems that can be a replica of a diamond.
A diamond simulant can be either natural or artificial. The natural simulants are usually gems by itself such as topaz, beryl, and quartz which are then processed to look like diamonds. These gems have above average hardness and low refraction indexes. Artificial simulants, on the other hand, are those which are made in the laboratories, silicon carbide (moissanite), and cubic zirconia. With the progress of diamond trade increasing demand for materials required to process diamonds are also increasing.
Please bear in mind that laboratory processed diamonds or the artificial ones are not fake diamonds. They are actually considered as authentic and genuine diamonds; only unnatural. A good example for this is the new Star Hybrid simulated diamond, which has the same clarity, quality and beauty as the naturals have.
It is common for a synthetic diamond to be made of cubic zirconia, or moissanite. There are companies who have researched thoroughly and have gone into the next level of diamond processing detail. They can actually process diamonds that are of better quality and appearance than of those that use the classic silicon carbide.
Truly the diamond has beauty that no other gem has. Its natural form may be costly, but now, there are cheaper diamonds which are man made but have the same allure as the naturals have and still possess the symbol of splendor in it.
