New World Diamonds

The primary difference between lab-grown diamonds and earth formed diamonds are the methods in which they are created. Lab-grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as mined diamonds. Lab created diamonds are formed by simulating natural conditions of extreme heat and pressure or through a process known as chemical vapor deposition. Like its mined counterpart, lab grown diamonds go through the cutting and polishing stages where they may or may not undergo further annealing and irradiation etc. Lab grown diamonds are ethical, conflict-free and considerate of sustainable measures. Mined diamonds are extracted from the earth through open-pit mining, hard-rock mining, alluvial mining, and marine diamond mining; all of which leave damaging effects on the planet, often times devastating local ecosystems and human habitats. In order to find a 1.0-carat rough diamond, approximately 1,750 tons of earth has to be displaced. New World Diamonds are created above the earth’s surface, we only use a fraction of the energy and natural resources used in traditional mining practices which leaves a much lower carbon footprint on our planet. Lab-grown diamonds are produced in a controlled environment under the supervision of highly-skilled scientists who ensure each diamond meets stringent quality measures.

To clean a lab-grown diamond is very similar to how to clean an Earth-formed diamond, as they both share the same chemical, physical, and optical properties. If you notice any pieces of fuzz or small pieces of hair that are lodged between the prongs, then you can attempt to remove them with a pair of tweezers or with a can of air spray. As for wiping the diamond, you can first try to use a soft cloth to remove any dust or small amounts of dirt. Need something to tackle stubborn dirt? Your best bet for home cleaning is to regularly use a solution of cleanser and water to wipe your loose stone or your jewelry. You can use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush, according to the GIA to remove the oil, dirt, or debris. And while some people opt for using jewelry-cleaning solution, a little bit of mild soap should be just fine.

Our diamonds are grown in our private laboratories. From rough diamonds to cut and polished ready-to-wear diamonds we own the entire supply chain. We’ve cut out the middlemen and added markups found in the traditional supply chain, allowing us to provide you with a much more high-quality, cost-effective diamond and jewelry selection.

Yes, a lab grown diamond will last forever just like a mined diamond. This is due to sharing the exact same physical and chemical properties, as the reason behind a diamond’s durability is its molecular structure. However, do not mistake durable for indestructible. Despite this and the fact that they are among the hardest substances on earth, diamonds both mined or lab created can be destroyed. If you don’t want to damage the piece of jewelry or diamond ring that you are wearing, make sure to remove it at the times of heavy, physical work or avoid exposing it to chemicals (household cleaners, hand lotions etc.)
