What is a Gemesis Cultured Diamond?
Quite simply, a cultured diamond is a diamond that is grown in a very tightly controlled laboratory environment under conditions that emulate those in which mined diamonds are grown deep under the earth’s surface. Starting with a diamond seed and a separate source of carbon, extreme pressures and temperatures are applied so that the carbon source transforms and grows atom-by atom and layer-by-layer on the diamond seed. The result? A fancy color rough, laboratory-grown diamond that can be cut and polished for use in jewelry just as is a rough diamond produced in nature.
