WHAT IS CUSTOM MADE DIAMONDS? THEY ARE CONSIDERRED CONFLICT FREE BUT REALLY THEY MAINTAIN SUSTAINBILTY?

 

 “Diamonds are the best friends of girls”

As once said by famous actress, model, singer Marilyn Monroe.

But Marilyn Monroe was a generation Y.

The world changed a lot since the death of Marilyn Monroe.

Today, science offers us both natural diamonds as well custom made diamonds or Laboratory made diamonds to wear. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Both have pros and cons.

But one thinks we can confirm there are lot of myths and misconceptions regarding both natural and custom made diamonds.

As we know and no need to elaborate more than the thing that natural diamonds costs the natural through the following ways and means –

-      Most of the times natural diamonds costs habitat. Natural diamonds comes from coal mines which are often built after destroying forests, which can damage habitat for wildlife, natural plantations, endengourred species etc.

-      While building coal mines, you need to change the livelihood of tribes may be. This makes human rights violation and fundamental of basic rights and way of life of many people.

-      River close to coal mines may be affected by polluting materials of mining and mining activity directly released to river water.

-      Often landfall and earthquakes and other natural disasters may occur due to huge mining activity specially digging holes on a particular spot while without filling it.

-      Often natural diamonds is said to fund wars, terrorism and mass human rights violation. Russian diamonds often said to fund the communist autocracy. Recently Russia’s so called special military operation i.e. war/invasion on Ukraine have also support fund from diamond business routed through 3^rd party countries.

Now, you will tell, let’s buy custom made or lab made diamonds.

Things are not pretty easy to hear not as easy to implement if we consider and compare short term as we as long term pros and cons for both lab made and natural diamonds.

One of the main questions regarding lab grown diamonds is its sustainability, which cover following things –

-      To make lab grown diamonds, you will need temperature 20% of sun’s surface i.e. near about 1500 degree Celsius which will make the material perfect for good refractive index and needless to say that more than 60% of lab grown diamonds comes from either India or China where 74% and 63% of electricity produced by burning coals and carbon emitting materials.

-       It is not only glass is required for lab made diamonds, graphite and few other metals also required to make custom made or lab made diamonds as well. The mining always had cost a lot to mankind in the past as I said.

-      Let’s compare the carbon emission made by both natural and lab made diamonds. The natural diamonds produce 106 Kg of Carbon per carat where lab made diamond produce 150 kg of carbon per carat basis. Simply, it is not always true that lab made diamonds is sustainable for mankind.

So, you can clearly see we have cons with natural diamonds and pros with lab made diamonds and vice versa. When natural diamonds costs the nature and mankind, lab made diamonds do emissions.

However, it is not that all lab made diamonds does emissions. All lab made diamond must do is to make it sustainably and reduce ecological footprint as much as we can. Labs made diamonds are already gaining the market share due its cost – effectiveness and competitiveness in prices compared with diamonds.

Lot of companies are there in the world and in USA, who use clean energy to produce lab made diamonds.

There are alternative to diamonds which is called moissanites. You can buy alternative moissnaites which are pretty similar with diamonds in all aspects. Moissanite could also be both natural and lab made , while lab made moissanites is pretty common, cheap and similar with diamonds.

I heart diamonds does not sell moissanites and diamonds in same portal; we do sell moissanite in different portals. Please find I heart moissanite portal to get good quality of moissanite with competitive prices.

To do a honest buy , While you are buying natural / lab made / Conflict Free diamond engagement rings please do care to buy natural/lab made diamonds while knowing the following things –

1.    SOURCE/ORIGIN – Make sure that the source or origin of the diamond. If it is natural, make sure you know the mines if it is involved with any kind of violence or not. Lab grown diamonds are always conflict free. And natural diamonds not always conflict free.

2.   CERTIFICATION – No matter it is natural or lab made diamond always comes with certification. Natural diamond has GIA certification as provided by I heart diamonds. In case of lab made diamonds we do provide certifications too.

3.   CONSIDER LAB GROWN – Despite emissions, just prefer lab grown diamonds due to the reasons said above. You know with the help technology improvements we can have emission less diamonds in lab one day. But natural consequences occurred by natural diamonds cannot be solved that way.

Conflict-free diamonds or lab made diamonds represent a crucial step towards a more ethical and sustainable diamond industry. They signify a commitment to ending the suffering and violence associated with blood diamonds. However, the quest for ethical and sustainable diamonds doesn't end with conflict-free certification. Consumers now have the power to demand diamonds that not only avoid conflict but also contribute positively to the world.

THE GLAMORUS FUTURE OF MOISSANITES – A SPARKLING ALTERNATIVE TO DIAMONDS

 

INTRODUCTION

In the world of gemstones, moissanites have emerged as a remarkable alternative to traditional diamonds. These exquisite stones, initially discovered in a meteorite, have been successfully synthesized in laboratories to create stunning, ethical, and affordable gems. As we delve into the future of moissanites, we explore their unique properties, increasing popularity, and the role they play in the evolving landscape of fine jewelry.

THE BIRTH OF MOISSANITES

The story of moissanites begins in 1893 when Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered these naturally occurring silicon carbide crystals within a meteorite crater in Arizona. Originally mistaking them for diamonds, Moissan's subsequent analysis revealed their distinct chemical composition and superior hardness. Thus, moissanite was born, becoming the second hardest naturally occurring material on Earth, surpassed only by diamonds on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.

Naturally occurred moissanites or natural moissanites are pretty rare.

So, scientists wanted to make moissanites in lab based on scientific formula. All these are called lab made moissanites. What we do in laboratory is to go that point where it reaches all chemical & physical properties like diamond. Thus we not only make moissanites but also we make something which is similar with diamonds.

PROPERTIES & ADVANTAGES OF BUYING MOISSANITES ONLINE

Moissanites posses a set of unique features that makes an attractive option in the world of jewelry. We can tell the following properties that a moissanite do hold for us –

1.    EXCEPTIONAL SPARKLE – Moissanite have little more value in refractive index as compared with diamonds. This means moissanites disperse light more quickly & effectively resulting dazzling display of brilliance and fire.

2.   DURABILITY - As the second hardest natural material, moissanites are exceptionally resistant to scratching and chipping, making them ideal for everyday wear and engagement rings.

3.   ETHICAL AND ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY - Often it is found diamond mined unethically by wrong people , who fund war an civil unrest among communities , unstable govt. in many countries. Recently Russian diamond came into picture due its funding used in ongoing war in Ukraine and EU and USA have already imposed sanctions on Russian diamonds which was spreading through various means like – via other countries or directly. In case of moissanites things are no different, though naturally found moissanites are rare yet they fund violence and that’s why it is better to fund lab based diamonds.

4.   AFFORDABILITY – One of the main reasons of using moissanite is affordability. Moissanite is way more affordable compare with diamonds. Without compromising the quality, moissanite offer the best diamond experience among us. At I heart moissanites; you can found moissanites priced 10% of diamond cost.

5.   ENVIRONMENT – while mining diamond, we damage nature. Diamond mostly found in coal mines (In fact diamond is mostly made from pure carbon, they are actually metamorphic version of carbon) and due to mining we really damage environment a lot. Many of poisonous material mix with the air. Coal mining does soil erosion, soil pollution and soil degradation, due to which the soil quality downgrades for agriculture activities. Mining also downgrades the habitats , destroys the wildlife and sometime displace the tribal and/or native people as well. Settlement near mining area sometimes gets effected by health related issues due to particulate matter, chemical compounds available in air etc. Acid mine drainage is another part of polution that occurs due to

6.   CUSTOMIZATION – Like diamonds, moissanites could also be customized in variety shapes and sizes and that makes moissanite pretty important to buy with beautiful shapes and sizes. Customization makes moissanites attractive to buy for marriage gift or anniversary gift purposes as well.

7.   QUALITY AND/OR BEAUTY – Literally, moissanite is no different than diamond physically and chemically properties concerned. The compositions are same in case of lab based moissanite and/or natural moissanites. All these properties make diamond & moissanites in same line. If cut perfectly and made with quality

Based on what you read just above don’t you think we should better promote lab made moissanite rather than “blood” diamonds?

Many Americans from Generation Z then think so

THE REAL QUESTION HOW DO WE PROMOTE, TRADE, BUSINESS AND USE MOISSANITES MORE AND MORE AGGRESSIVELY?

Well, I think we can follow following steps to get moissanite back as an alternative to diamonds as well as natural diamonds –

1.    PROMOTION – Just promote moissanite. Use pamphlets, templates, and graphics, and videos, images to show and impress people to buy moissanites. Compare diamond vs. moissanites. What people give and what people will get if money is spend on moissanite and diamond both place. I don’t all people are fool enough to understand that diamond is better when quality and chemical properties are concerned.

2.   TECHNOLOGYCAL ADVANCEMENT – With the technology advancement we can develop more perfect moissanites in laboratory. We can equal with diamonds or something natural like that. With the help of advancement of technology and modernizing of technology we can cut various sizes and shapes and look alike diamonds.

3.   CELEBRATY PROMOTION – We can promote moissanites with the help of celebrity accounts .Asking them to share the positive side of moissanites along with messages to encourage common people to use moissanite. Today the era of connectivity, we can spread a message to long just with internet within a very short period of time.

4.   EDUCATION / AWARENESS / ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  As consumers become more informed about moissanites and their advantages, the demand for these gemstones is likely to surge. Education campaigns will play a crucial role in spreading awareness. Lot of govt. support required to promote moissanite as well.

5.   SUSTAINABILTY - In an era where sustainability is paramount, moissanites are poised to thrive. Their ethical and eco-friendly credentials align with the values of an environmentally conscious consumer base.

In simple words we need to lot of work before we finally see moissanites are widely accepted and adopted by accepted by majority.
