If you’re looking to buy diamonds in Flushing Queens New York, listen closely. Gem quality lab grown diamonds have been available commercially since the early 2010s. Savvy consumers understand they can save 50% on these real diamonds compared to mined diamonds.
You might be surprised to learn that our lab grown diamonds in Queens have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. They are cut and polished the same way and graded by cut, color, clarity and carat like a mined diamond. Even using a jeweler’s loupe or a microscope, a graduate gemologist cannot tell the difference.
So, what is the difference?
The biggest difference to you as a consumer is that lab grown diamonds in cost about half the price of mined diamonds. The reason is both lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds start as carbon atoms. The high pressures and temperatures that form a diamond crystal inside the earth over millennia are mimicked in a laboratory in about a month. This reduces the expensive and labor-intensive process of mining.
Compare it to making ice cubes in your freezer as opposed to leaving them outside on your balcony and waiting until it’s cold enough for the water to freeze! Both are made from water and are frozen, technology just sped up the process. Come to Bell Family Jewelers and see for yourself.
