Everyone loves a brilliant colorless stone. Whether it's Zirconia, like in our Bella Luce Collection, or a mined diamond from an exotic locale. What you may not know, however, is that there are many stones just like them that rival their beauty and, in the eyes of some, even surpass them! Normally, listing diamonds from D to Z would be to grade their color (D being colorless and Z being brownish-yellow), but in this blog we'll look at all of these beautiful stones from D to Z alphabetically. Who knows, you may find a new favorite!
Mined Diamonds
First, let’s take a look at mined diamonds. The standard when it comes to luxury, diamonds grown in the belly of the earth have always been the standard for weddings and engagements. They elevate to elegant, and from elegant to regal. Perhaps the most iconic gemstone of them all, the fact that they take millions of years to form deep beneath the surface of the earth gives them an inherent value that can’t be taken away.
Diamonds start off as a piece of carbon, and through tough, natural processes of the Earth, turn into beautiful and bright sparkling gemstones that are extremely valuable and gorgeous. Diamonds are named from the Greek word adamas, meaning "unconquerable." Fitting, right?
With this beautiful selection of diamond jewelry, they really will become your new best friend!
Lab-Grown Diamonds
For the progressive woman, there’s lab-grown diamonds. What’s the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a mined one? Virtually nothing. Through a complex, highly refined process, a stone with the exact, optical, chemical, and physical properties is made and faceted just like its naturally-occurring counterpart. They’re here for those unwilling to be tied down by tradition, and they’re here to stay.
The process to make lab-grown diamonds is similar to the process of natural-grown diamonds. The only difference between the two of these gems is where they came from! Lab-grown diamond jewelry still sparkles and shines just as much as natural diamonds. You may hear them being called man-made diamonds or above-earth diamonds. No matter what, they are one-in-the-same and are a special treat for anyone!
