The only thing that distinguishes a lab-grown diamond from a mined diamond is the origin.
AMA diamonds are the result of technological evolution that allows humans to recreate in the lab the same conditions present in nature that give rise to the formation of a natural diamond. Without the negative environmental and human cost of mining activity.
Even a gemmologist cannot distinguish a lab-grown diamond from a mined one without the help of advanced analytical tools. Lab-grown diamonds are perfect for those seeking transparency about the origin of the jewel without compromising on quality. They represent the evolution of the industry and the future of the market, combining sustainability and excellence in every stone.
Lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to mined diamonds.
They share the same growth process as natural diamonds, forming as carbon atoms, which under high temperature and pressure, bond together to form a crystalline lattice structure. Once formed, they are cut by the same skilled hands that cut mined diamonds to ensure brilliance. They share colours and purity equal to natural ones and are certified by the same bodies (IGI, GIA) that are among the most accredited worldwide for diamond certification. Since they do not have the human and environmental costs associated with mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds represent the best solution for anyone who appreciates diamonds.
Lab-grown diamonds develop through two different systems: H.P.H.T and C.V.D.
H.P.H.T
H.P.H.T. (high pressure high temperature) because it replicates the same conditions of high temperature and high pressure found within the Earth's crust that give rise to the crystallization of carbon for diamond formation.
C.V.D.
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) uses vacuum chambers to convert carbon-rich gases into plasma. The kinetics allow carbon atoms in the chamber to accumulate in layers on a diamond seed, so the rough diamond can grow in volume.
Recycled Gold
Our gold has a history that goes far beyond its brilliance. Following the principle of not using resources extracted from the earth, the gold used in our jewellery is now entirely recycled. 18-carat gold is the ideal choice for high-quality jewellery production. It is a metal that can be easily recycled without losing its quality, maintaining the same value as freshly extracted gold and eliminating the need for unsustainable extraction processes.
In the recycling process, gold is separated, melted, and subjected to chemical refining to remove impurities and obtain 99.9% pure gold. Normally, classic jewellery uses recycled gold in about 50%, while AMA uses 100% recycled 18-carat gold. According to the Gold Standard Institute, there is already more gold in circulation on Earth than will ever be found in current or future mines, many of which are illegal. Recycling ensures that gold can be continuously reused without degrading, supporting a more circular and environmentally friendly economy.
