The controversary continues... can you tell the difference between natural and lab diamonds.

I am heading out to a wedding, and I am wearing a combination of natural and lab diamond jewelry.

I am wearing a diamond necklace, diamond stud earrings with jackets, a pave diamond band, a diamond bracelet and an eternity band.

Can you tell the difference ? 

Stay tuned I will reveal tomorrow which are natural and which are Lab.

Mina D Fine Jewelry is not just a brand; it's a commitment to values and empowerment. As a small, woman-owned business, Mina D Fine Jewelry stands out for its dedication to using ethically sourced diamonds and working with experienced jewelers in NYC, rather than overseas.

Mina D Fine Jewelry uses laboratory-grown diamonds sourced sustainably and ethically. The creation of a diamond in the lab is one of the most spectacular scientific breakthroughs. After more than 100 years of targeted research, technology is now at the point where innovative equipment can replicate natural processes that take thousands of years to create unparalleled beauty. Lab-grown diamonds have the same properties as mined diamonds, yet do not contribute to land degradation and deforestation, dust and water pollution and unsafe and exploitative mining practices. 

When it comes to fine jewelry, diamonds have always been the epitome of luxury and beauty. But did you know that Mina D Fine Jewelry is revolutionizing the diamond industry with their laboratory-grown diamonds? These diamonds are not only sourced sustainably and ethically, but they are also created through a remarkable scientific process that mimics nature's own creation.

How are lab-grown diamonds created?

The creation of a diamond in the lab is one of the most spectacular scientific breakthroughs of our time. Through more than 100 years of targeted research, technology has advanced to the point where innovative equipment can replicate natural processes that take thousands of years to occur.

Lab-grown diamonds are created using a method called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). In the CVD process, a diamond seed is placed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gases. These gases are then heated to extreme temperatures, causing the carbon atoms to bond and crystallize, forming a diamond. The HPHT process involves subjecting a diamond seed to high pressure and temperature, allowing carbon atoms to bond and grow into a larger diamond.

The truth nobody wants to hear …

Natural Diamonds 💎 will not resell for what you paid for them.

Wait… unless it’s a high color, high quality GIA certified significant diamond.

I’m not saying you won’t get value years down ….but diamond 💎 prices are constantly fluctuating and if you are looking for an investment, diamonds 💎 may not be the best option unless you are buying a high color, rare jewel.

Yes, you might get up to 60% of what you paid initially but it will vary on the market price, which is forever changing. The Diamond Market is similar to the stock market and also fluctuates with it at times. Yes, up to 60% and that is being generous. In fact most of the time whatever you paid the resell will be significantly lower.

It will also vary if you are buying something else from your Jeweler, or just selling it and walking away. Chances are if you are trading up, you might get a bit more for your diamond.

When it comes to finding the perfect diamond, carat weight is an essential factor to consider. The carat weight determines the size and weight of the diamond, making it a crucial element in choosing the right piece of jewelry. Mina D Jewelry, a brand known for its exquisite and luxurious designs, can help you determine and find your perfect carat weight diamond.

Why is carat weight important?

Carat weight is a significant consideration when selecting a diamond because it directly affects the size and visual impact of the stone. A larger carat weight generally means a larger diamond, which can make a statement and capture attention. Mina D Jewelry understands the importance of finding the right carat weight to suit your personal style and preferences.

What is Diamond Color?

Diamond color refers to the presence of any tint in a diamond. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond color on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The closer a diamond is to colorless, the more valuable it is.
