Innovations fueling the man-made diamonds’ popularity
Man-made diamonds have become popular mostly thanks to their sustainable reputation. They initially
emerged as a safer, eco-friendly, and conflict-free alternative to natural gemstones. Yet, it is right this
aspect unexpected became the core sticking point in winning consumers’ trust. For a long time society
was putting under question the level of a declared safety and challenging not only diamond’s nature but
also the safety of the manufacturing process. Innovations made these discussions less critical and the
industry now has a promising perspective. Yet, to grasp the true meaning of invention one needs to see
the essence of lasting debates.
So, where did the conflict come from?
From the very beginning, man-made diamonds were considered sustainable products because of their
origin. They do not require mining, unlike natural gemstones. People invented a way to mimic every step
of the natural process and replicate it using industrial facilities. Technologies were exploited to form
naturally-identical conditions of high pressure and high temperature causing the natural crystallizing of
carbon.
Although jewelers succeeded in recreating the natural specimen in laboratory settings, the work of
laboratories became the object of discussion. Ecologists raised a lot of questions like the following:




Where do manufacturers take the raw material, namely carbon seeds?
Whether laboratory functioning causes a lesser negative impact than mining?
What are the levels of emissions, water, and energy consumption? Does this amount of
resources justify the laboratory production?
What is the effect of high temperature used for producing man-made diamonds, especially in
the context of climate changes?
These and many other questions rained down on the innovators and blocked the popularity of manmade diamonds. They made consumers to doubt and stay on the side of traditional natural diamonds.
What do we have today?
We will not write a lot about the changes you have already known because they have happened a few
years ago. We just assure you that there sustainable way to get carbon seeds without mining. Moreover,
these ways contribute to the purification of the atmosphere from already existing pollution.
You can find a lot of information about air diamonds or memorial diamonds, you need just to google.
Here we want to accent the latest sustainable innovation, which can change a lot in the manufacturing
process. Recently, jewelers have found a way to crystallize carbon at room temperature. Now scientists
can cause crystallizing just by using the right direction of pressure with no need to apply time and
energy-consuming methods.
What does it mean for the industry?
The most challenging aspect of the manufacturing process is resolved leaving no space for debates.
Madestones as a leading European trader is convinced that it is a revolutionary scientific discovery that
can foster the popularity of man-made diamonds. Consumers, who are guided by sustainable
considerations, can celebrate. Man-made diamonds become not only a more ethical choice than ever
but also their price can be lower thanks to reducing spending on manufacturing.
