Synthetic Diamonds - Almost as Real Ones


Synthetic Diamonds

The first types of synthetic diamond was created in 1954 by General Electric Company. A synthetic diamond is basically a stone possessing admirable qualities of the natural shape of the diamond as refractive index, hardness and durability.

The only difference between natural and synthetic diamonds is that the latter is manmade. A synthetic diamond should not be confused with one of the stimulants diamonds, Moissanite diamonds, glass or even cubic zirconia.

While modern technology in these actually started in 1954, had no points actually made available on the market until the year the 1990th This is because the General Electric Company took many years and experiments before they are able to create a synthetic diamond, which is comparable to the qualities and characteristics of natural diamonds. Ultimately, when GE was able to do it, it was found that production of synthetic diamonds are more expensive than if you would mine and cut the natural shape of diamonds.

Finally Gemesis Corporation, a small diamond company was able to find a method that involved the production of synthetic diamonds with the same quality as natural to them, at a much cheaper price. Gemesis is now the largest producer of synthetic white diamonds and colored damonder. These types of Gemesis diamonds sold for 1 / 3 of the price of natural diamonds. But, right now there is a shortage of these synthetic jewelry. Can you believe that synthetic diamonds were much rarer than natural to them?
