A clean diamond is more brilliant and fiery than the same diamond when it is “dirty”. Dirt or grease on the top of a diamond reduces its lustre. Water, dirt, or grease on the bottom of a diamond interferes with the diamond’s brilliance and fire. A dirty diamond is among two things: a rough diamond, or a diamond that hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Rough diamonds are uncut and unpolished – hence, they’re dirty. Simply that type of dirty diamond will soon be cut and polished and sitting in a beautiful jewel box in a showcase. Then somebody will buy it, and soon, it will become a dirty diamond once again.
Diamonds become dirty. When you wash your hands with a diamond ring on, soap scum clings to it. When you put on hand lotion, it gets grease on it. Shower with your diamond earrings or necklace, and again, you get soap scum. In one short day, your brand new diamond could be dirty!
Buy an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner the same day that you buy your diamond Jewellery, and use it every single day, without fail. The clarity of the diamond changes when the diamond is dirty – it loses its sparkle. By taking one minute each day to clean your diamond jewellery, you may avoid this, and your diamonds will never be dirty!
Let us now have a clear understanding about Synthetic Diamonds. Synthetic diamond is diamond produced in a technological process, as opposed to natural diamond, which is produced by geological processes.The first synthetic diamonds were produced by General Electric in 1954. A synthetic diamond is basically a rock that has the Strength, refractive index and hardness of a natural diamond – but it’s made by man.A synthetic diamond shouldn’t be confused with stimulant diamonds, such as glass, cubic zirconia, or moissanite.
While the technology for synthetic diamonds came into play in 1954, no synthetic diamonds were ever seen on the market until the 1990’s. This was due to the fact that it took many years for General Electric to produce a synthetic diamond that could compare with the quality of a natural diamond – and when they figured out how to do it, they found that it price more to produce a synthetic diamond than it did to mine and cut natural diamonds.
Ultimately, a small company by the name of Gemesis Corporation figured out a way to produce synthetic diamonds that were of the same quality as natural diamonds, at a cheaper cost. Nowadays, Gemesis produces synthetic white diamonds, and colored diamonds as well. These diamonds sell for about 1/3 of the price of a natural diamond, but there’s a shortage of them, and they’re hard to find. In fact, it seems that synthetic diamonds are rarer than natural diamonds!
