How do lab diamonds differ from irradiated mined diamonds?
Colors of D.NEA diamonds, namely, yellow and blue, are the same as corresponding colors of natural diamonds. They have the same nature, the same stability with time and when exposed to high temperatures, as with mined colored diamonds, are guaranteed to never fade or lose its color. Color of each D.NEA diamond is magnificent as-is, and needs no improvement. Irradiation is used when it is necessary to improve color of unsightly brown or washed-out “cape” diamonds. However, colors of irradiated diamonds may fade or change when being set or when heated above 300 degrees Centigrade. We do not speculate on which color is better, irradiated or natural–it’s a matter of preference and taste. The main difference that exists between irradiated diamonds and as-grown D.NEA diamonds is stability of color. Colors of our diamonds are stable with time and when exposed to high temperatures. At D.NEA, we can apply different color treatment methods to our diamonds in order to create additional colors–pin
