Are lab-grown diamonds synthetic?
To put it simply, in Japan it is referred to as "synthetic diamond."
However, in the United States, where lab-grown diamonds originated, the term "synthetic" is not recommended, so I would like to talk more about this in detail today .
Lab-grown diamonds were first created in the United States in March 1955.
Diamonds with the same carbon crystal structure as natural diamonds were successfully synthesized, and gem-quality diamonds were first produced in laboratories in 1971, which later became known as lab-grown diamonds.
In the United States, where lab-grown diamonds were first created, they are generally referred to as "Laboratory Created Diamonds," and are also abbreviated to "Lab-Grown Diamonds" or "Lab-created Diamonds."
In addition, the terms "synthetic" and "artificial" are not recommended.
There are various theories, but in America, "synthetic" means that it is not a natural product, but is created by mixing artificial substitutes. Therefore, although the environments in which they are produced are different from natural diamonds, they have the same components and properties, so the term is considered inappropriate.
Regarding the "artificial/man-made" part, it is said that lab-grown diamonds are created in a lab and the environment for their growth is controlled by humans, whereas diamonds grow naturally and are not tampered with or processed by humans.
On the other hand, in Japan, the Japan Jewelry Association, a general incorporated association that represents the jewelry industry, states that anything written as "diamond" means "natural diamond."
If they are synthetic, they must be prefixed with "synthetic diamond."
Lab-grown diamonds have exactly the same components and properties as natural diamonds, but because they are created in a lab (such as a laboratory), in Japan they are generally referred to as "synthetic diamonds," which are not natural.
However, diamonds are not created by adding anything or artificially mixing in substitutes; rather, they grow spontaneously in laboratories where the environment is ideal for growth by human hands.
Is it possible to distinguish between natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds (synthetic diamonds)?
It is said that there is almost no difference between them just by looking at them.
Furthermore, lab-grown diamonds are said to be highly rare, accounting for only about 2% of all natural diamonds, giving them an exceptional transparency and brilliance.
It can be difficult to identify extremely small stones or stones set in ornaments, but it is possible to distinguish them using specialized equipment at an appraisal agency.
Thus, lab-grown diamonds are considered synthetic diamonds in Japan, but in addition to having a shine that is indistinguishable from that of natural diamonds and having the same properties and components , they are considered jewelry made with consideration for people, society, and the environment, and are attracting attention from around the world.
