We all know diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but these diamonds will have eco-friendly enthusiasts swooning. The most valuable gemstone ever seen can now be 100% green. That’s right, some jewelers are now focusing on reducing their carbon footprint, and are relying on renewable energies to produce the most beautiful lab-grown diamonds ever! Now you can wear spectacular diamonds that are kind to the earth – what more could a girl want? Let us see if this tale can spark your interest like it did ours.
The most valuable gemstones ever seen are made from sunlight
Renewable energies have had a positive impact on many sectors of the world, but now they are shining brighter than ever in the jewelry industry. Diamonds have always been a top choice for engagement rings due to their timeless charm, extraordinary strength, and overall luster. Mining diamonds is a time-consuming process; thus, lab-grown diamonds became a popular choice to keep up with demand. As demand grew, people became concerned with the overall environmental impact and sustainability of both natural-mined diamonds and lab-grown diamonds.
As a result, jewelers have decided to consider full environmental responsibilities and have taken matters into their own hands. They needed something with high value, environmental consciousness, and quality. Then, the concept of Solar Diamonds was born, “because, after all, engagement rings shouldn’t cost the Earth.” The most valuable gemstones ever seen are now made from sunlight, and they sure shine brighter than ever.
Solar diamonds: Everything you should know
Solar Diamonds are indeed greener and kinder to the earth. They are also lab-grown diamonds, but what makes them greener and kinder is that they are grown using 100% solar energy, a valuable renewable energy source. The process is pursued in a controlled laboratory environment where extreme heat and/or pressure are engineered to crystallize pure carbon, resulting in a real diamond. These laboratories are certified to vouch that they grow the diamonds with purely solar energy.
If you wonder how consumers can identify whether they are truthfully wearing a Solar Diamond, do not fret any longer. An ID inscription is usually laser-engraved onto the diamond’s girdle, marking them as Solar Diamonds. These laser inscriptions are only visible with a microscope, so you should verify the quality and origin of the diamond at your nearest, trustworthy jeweler.
The benefits of Solar Diamonds for the environment
The benefit of a Solar Diamond is its quality. When you compare a Solar Diamond to a naturally mined diamond, you will find that they are both a 10 on the Mohs’ hardness scale, because they have identical chemical composition.
Another benefit of Solar Diamonds is that they have a much lower environmental impact than both typical lab-grown diamonds and naturally mined diamonds, which highly depend on fossil fuels. Solar Diamonds’ pricing could be four times lower than naturally mined diamonds, as suppliers deliberately control their pricing.
Solar Diamonds are more exclusive, as they only account for 5% of lab-grown diamonds manufactured, yet they are affordable, high in quality, very durable, and in general, just brilliant. The good news is that jewelers have also been exploring other renewable energies such as hydro and wind energy, ensuring they keep their carbon footprint and overall environmental impact as low as possible!
Diamonds might symbolize eternal love, but now they shine even brighter in the climate-friendly category, adding green energy to their repertoire. Who would have thought that innovation could be equally stunning and sustainable? The next time you pop into a jewelry store for a little treat or two, be sure to peek at the sun’s most environmentally valuable gemstones ever seen; they will surely bring a sparkle to that someone special’s eye.
