How does Gemesis synthetic diamond production work?
In contrast, synthetic diamond production takes place in Gemesis’ labs, where manufacturers start with a small natural diamond seed. Placed in an environment that contains carbon, the seed is heated and put under extremely high pressure, which causes the Gemesis diamond to grow, molecule by molecule – just as it would in nature. As Gemesis diamonds grow, they gain layer after layer of material, eventually reaching anywhere from one-quarter to more than two carats in size. Synthetic diamond production can produce diamonds in a wide range of colors, although the most common are popular fancy colors like yellow and pink. • How is a Gemesis diamond finished? After they’ve been cut using traditional diamond finishing methods, Gemesis diamonds are measured and sold using the same standards as diamonds: cut, color, clarity and carat weight, as determined by the Gemological Institute of America. At completion, Gemesis diamonds are optically, physically and chemically identical to diamonds – bu
