1. What makes lab-grown diamonds different from mined diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds and mined diamonds are virtually identical in terms of physical and chemical properties. The key difference lies in their origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-forming process, while mined diamonds are extracted from the earth. Lab-grown diamonds offer several benefits, including a lower environmental impact, ethical sourcing without the concerns of conflict diamonds, and generally more affordable pricing.
2. How do I care for my Glamurista jewelry?
Cleaning: Use a mild soap and warm water solution to clean your jewelry. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with a soft cloth.
Storage: Store your pieces in a soft, lined jewelry box or pouch to avoid scratches. Keep pieces separate to prevent them from scratching each other.
Maintenance: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and prolonged sunlight. Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or engaging in physical activities.
3. What is the process for creating lab-grown diamonds?
High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT): This method mimics the natural conditions of high pressure and high temperature to transform carbon into a diamond around a small "seed" diamond.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves placing a diamond seed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gases. The gases are heated until carbon atoms begin to deposit on the seed, forming a diamond. Once the diamond reaches the desired size, it is removed, cut, and polished just like mined diamonds.
4. Are lab-grown diamonds as durable as mined diamonds?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as mined diamonds. They share the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), ensuring they can withstand everyday wear and maintain their brilliance over time.
5. Do you offer customization or personalization of jewelry?
Yes, Glamurista offers customization services. You can personalize your jewelry with engravings or even design a bespoke piece tailored to your preferences. Contact our customer service team for more details on how to create your custom jewelry.
6. What are the benefits of choosing lab-grown diamonds over mined diamonds?
Environmental Impact: They require fewer resources and have a smaller environmental footprint.
Ethical Considerations: Lab-grown diamonds are free from the ethical concerns associated with conflict diamonds.
Cost: They are generally 80-95% more affordable than mined diamonds.
Quality: They share the same physical and chemical properties as mined diamonds, ensuring high quality and brilliance.
7. How do I know which size ring to order?
Use a ring sizing chart available on our website.
Measure the diameter of a ring that fits well and match it to the chart.
Wrap a piece of string or paper around your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart. If you're still unsure, visit a local jeweler to have your finger professionally measured.
