Pandora Set to Launch Lab Created Diamonds
Pandora Jewelry which is one of the bestselling Danish jewelry manufacturers has promised to stop selling mined diamonds.
This announcement was made on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, which is a year after promising to start making recycle Gold and Silver by 2025.
Mined diamonds are known to be natural diamonds. But, the company has moved on to start producing artificially made diamonds known as Lab-created diamonds.
They are cheaper and have all the characteristics of a natural diamond, he noted.
“Diamonds are not just eternal, they are for everyone,” said the group’s head, Alexander Lacik. This choice “is proof of the ambitious program that we are carrying out to be more sustainable”, he stressed.
This is happening for the first time as the Lab-created diamonds will be launched soon as part of the Pandora Brilliance Line.
This launching is set to begin in the United Kingdom and by 2022, it must have spread throughout the United States.
This time, their goal is to make diamonds affordable, more accessible, and sustainable.
Pandora
Founded in 1982 in Copenhagen, Pandora has become a multinational with more than 27,000 employees, half of them in Thailand, where their jewelry is produced. The group sells 250,000 pieces a day.
However, diamonds are only present in a small part of Pandora’s sales.
A Brief History of Diamonds Grown In the Laboratory
Laboratory-produced diamonds have been produced since the 1950s. Almost all diamonds grown in the laboratory have been used industrially.
Most diamonds produced in the laboratory today are used to make abrasive granules for cutting, drilling, and polishing processes.
Within a few decades, lab-grown diamonds were being made sufficiently pure and large enough that they could be used in a variety of high-tech applications.
Lab-grown diamonds were being used as heatsinks in advanced computers; wear-resistant coatings on tools and bearings; high durability windows; tiny anvils for high-pressure experiments; specialized lenses; domes for speakers; and much more.
In 1971, General Electric produced the first diamonds grown in a laboratory with gem-quality using the HPHT (high pressure / high temperature) process.
The crude was in the form of small yellow crystals, usually with metallic inclusions.
In 1989, the first diamonds were cultivated by the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) process. This process is more suitable for the cultivation of diamonds with gem quality because fewer impurities are introduced into the diamond.
During the 1990s, a small number of gem-quality diamonds were being produced in laboratories, but very few entered the market.
These diamonds were expensive to produce, and manufacturers needed to reduce costs and improve quality to be competitive in the diamond jewelry market.
In 2010, the quality of diamonds grown in the laboratory had improved significantly.
A small but growing number of lab-grown diamonds began to enter the gem and jewelry market.
Today, several companies are creating commercial quantities of beautiful lab-grown diamonds with spectacular clarity and color.
Now, several percent of the diamonds entering the jewelry market are grown in the laboratory.
So, what do you feel about the launching of Lab Made Diamonds by Pandora? Is it a nice idea? Do you prefer Lab Made Diamonds over Mined Ones?
