Simulated Diamonds Giving Epicureans Thumbs Down

Posted on March 11, 2010

Simulated diamonds are the latest buzz in town with all the glitter and adulation it claims equal to a diamond. Simulated diamonds outweigh the possession worthiness of an original diamond as well owing to its great features and striking nearness to an actual diamond. Simulated diamonds are nothing but lab simulated versions of natural stones that are created using the chemical method that is combining chemicals that are found in actual diamonds in a ratio that simulated diamonds are formed. These simulated diamonds go through a rigorous testing routine in their labs and need to meet stringent standards of quality that is specified for simulated diamonds. Some common methods or standard of testing such as Light Analysis Testing, XPS testing, Goniometry testing, Raman testing are used to test simulated diamonds. Simulated diamonds cannot be differentiated form regular diamonds by a common person it requires a keen eye and expert gemologist to say them apart. Simulated diamonds are a preferred choice now majorly owing to its sheer user friendliness. One can buy simulated diamonds with way lesser hassle as compared to a real diamond. Thus making these simulated diamonds a choice of convenience. There are two methods that are used in manufacturing simulated diamonds; the High-Temperature High-Pressure or "HTHP" method, and the Chemical Vapor Deposition or "CVD" method. Depending on what lab is creating these simulated diamonds and what texture and quality is expected of them a method of manufacture is chosen to make these simulated diamonds. Simulated diamonds look very similar to actual diamonds but they cost lesser, so simulated diamonds actually give a thumbs down to the ancient epicurean philosophy, they believed everything in life should be kept simple and ascetic but if luxury comes for lesser and it is so enticing why not make the best of it in the form of simulated diamonds, after all its just the name and the belief of originality that is different in simulated diamonds; Like Shakespeare said "will a rose smell any different were it called by another name?"
