Owning a diamond is every girl’s dream and marks an important stage in her maturity, an engagement, marriage or special birthday, with its unique grace and beauty. The dream is now closer to fulfillment for millions who believed it could never come true. Sona Diamond’s New technology in the production of man made diamonds – yes, they are real diamonds and bear the certification to prove it has reduced the costs of owning these exquisite stones by up to 30%, making the dream a reality.
How do Man Made Diamonds Compare to Mined Stones?
Very well, actually. It is impossible to tell the difference between the two without sophisticated equipment and a qualified examiner. They are that good. Some legal issues have been raised where man made diamonds have been mistaken by experts from mined stones, as they share the same Refractive Index, hardness and dispersion of light. The biggest difference is seen in the measurements of quality of man made diamonds. The highest grading a diamond can merit is the, “Flawless” category. Most man made diamonds fall into this category. They tend to be more perfect, because of the carefully controlled environments in which they must be grown, so more brilliant and enchanting to the eye.
The Gemological Institute of America Certifies Synthetic Man Made Diamonds as the “Real Thing”
In 2007, the Gemological Institute of America made the decision that man made diamonds could be certified and graded, just like mined stones, a milestone for Sona Diamond Jewelry.
Fashion Houses Adopt Colored Man Made Diamonds
Recent years have brought colored diamonds into the spotlight as the ultimate fashion accessory. Celebrities traversing the red carpet flash beautiful jewelry featuring stones in shades that compliment the designer dresses they wear. Before colored diamonds were created specially under laboratory conditions to produce exact shades and tones, this special class of diamond was available only to those who could afford to pay the very large price tag. Sona Diamond’s Research Institute offers hybrid simulated diamonds in a rainbow variety of colors.
Preparation of Man Made Diamonds
Just as mined stones are carefully cut, polished and set, man made diamonds undergo the same process, but first they are grown from a crystal seed, under very carefully controlled conditions, in special facilities to ensure perfection in each and every simulated diamond. Sona Diamonds are then evaluated by the traditional master diamond cutters in Israel, who have benefited from skills passed down over hundreds of years by experienced craftsmen in family centered and owned firms.
Ethical Considerations over Buying Mined Stones
Sine the recent film, “Blood Diamond” went on general release, a small, but growing parentage of diamond owners have felt and expressed some unease about the conditions experienced by mining employees. Other questions raised by consumers who are daily growing more conscious of the sources of all that they buy involve the cost to local environments where millions of tons of earth can be removed in mining procedures. Mined stones are also the unwitting tools of unscrupulous politicians in developing countries such as parts of Africa, where Amnesty International estimates up to 4 million persons have lost their lives in disputes over smuggled stones funding this or that political faction.

Most people recognize that diamonds are the sturdiest and most indestructible precious stones on earth. In reference to hardness, diamonds are considered a perfect ten on the scale of natural materials known to mankind. Diamonds are 100% resistant to scratches and damage demonstrated by its ability to cut glass. There is only one way to destroy a diamond, which is by contact with another diamond. Sona Diamond jewelry is the latest technology in producing a hybrid diamond that cannot be detected with the natural eye.
Since diamonds are mined from deep within the earth as carbon is pressurized to produce the miracle gem it takes centuries to create. As science would have it however, now it is possible by Sona Diamonds to speed up the process creating a diamond in a fraction of the time. Hybrid diamonds are not fakes, but have a real diamond layer.
Diamond Jewelers can create diamonds of comparable hardness and brilliance to natural occurring gems with all the same dazzling results.
The Sona Diamond’s gems are created with a natural diamond layer where the core is infused with real diamond. This diamond is also referred to as a simulated diamond. Even our licensed professional jewelers cannot physically tell the difference between the natural diamond and this stunning hybrid gem without weighing them.
However Sona Diamonds are created from actual diamond carbon to create extraordinary jewels for jewelry that can only compare to original mined diamonds! The only way to identify them is by its weight which is similar to genuine diamonds. Sona Diamond’s magnificence rival any naturally cut diamond and is often mistaken for the same.
In addition to the array of beautifully cut diamonds, there are also vibrantly colored hybrid diamonds created by Sona Diamond Jewelry. Of course Sona diamonds creates traditional white diamonds and in addition creates diamonds in all colors of the rainbow including yellow, pink, red, orange, green, blue, purple, and brown.
Sona Diamond Jewelry is pleased to announce a new offering of its “Sona Hybrid” line of man-made simulated diamonds. These are lab-created simulated diamonds with a real diamond layer, of gem quality for sale to the public.
“Our created diamond layer has been scientifically analyzed and the report is avaliable online. This new technology is called ‘Diamond seeding.” A process of using a ‘Ion Jet’ to blast charged diamond crytstals into a oppositely charged crystalline core. The diamond crystals actually grow from within the core to form a new measured sp3 carbon diamond layer.
Sona’s hybrid simulated diamonds have all the qualities of a natural diamond, maximum brilliance, hardness and durability, without the discoloration and glassy look of our cubic zirconia.
This new hybrid diamond category will blur the line between natural diamond and simulant. It has a measured brilliance and color equal to the finest mined diamonds in the world. And it’s hardness scratch test measured [9.6mohs].. Now you can wear dazzling, simulated diamonds that sparkel and dance in the light just like natural diamonds, for a fraction of the cost.

Silicon chips have reached the limit of their capacity to act as a semi-conductor of electricity. “Silicon Chips” according to MIT Professor of material science, Dr. Wuensch states” Will melt into a puddle” at this rate and diamond is the solution to that problem. A modern computer system in the office will generate heat at [100] degrees celsius, enough to heat a small office on a cold day.
This has prompted scientist to discover a replacement material that can handle more electricity with greater conductivity without over heating. This quest set off a world-wide race to take control of the computer and synthetic diamond industry.
The initial players in this quest are De Beers who controls the most productive and valuable diamond mines on earth located in Botswana S. Africa. And Apollo Diamond who produce synthetic laboratory created diamonds in United States
Apollo is owned by a first rate scientist whose dream was to create a better computer power chip..He knew that the ultimate conductor is the diamond itself. Diamond can conduct more electricity without over heating than any material on earth.. He also knew that even the world’s best De Beer mine diamonds do not have consistent properties that you can depend on to make computer chips.
Synthetic laboratory created diamonds held the key. A new technology was created called “Chemical Vapor Deposition.” This Apollo advanced [CVD] application grew diamond crystals of highest purity without metallic inclusions. These new “Hybrid Synthetic” lab created diamonds were uncovered and reported to De Beers “Diamond Trading Company.”
This set off a series of events that compelled the De Beers group to start scientific research of their own. It was a two-fold attack on the [CVD] chemical vapor deposition industry. One was to develop diamond scanning equipment to detect a synthetic diamond entering the market place. De Beers being most resourceful did just that. He launched a “Gem Defensive Program” and developed two state of the art diamond testing machines called, “Diamond Sure and Diamond View.”
Events are unfolding and America’s largest diamond testing facility, the “Gemological Institute of America has become aware of the Apollo Diamond as a possible threat to the entire natural diamond industry. We should take pause at the magnitude of the economic power sectors at play. We are talking about “Multi-Billion” dollars industries that effect change on a global level.
The [GIA] used their lab diamond testing “Spectroscope,” which was state of the art at the time. The began testing the new synthetic stones, one by one. And after each test they discovered the Apollo synthetic lab created diamonds had no visible color spectra or absorption. It passed the natural diamond test! But testing was not over yet. The DeBeers “Gem Defense Program” had applied and was given permission by the [GIA] to also test the new synthetic diamonds with their next generation of “Diamond View and Diamond Sure” testing equipment.
These instruments use a new diamond testing technology called “Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy” [FTIR]. A system that can detect hydrogen related centers that have never be observed in natural diamonds. De Beers did detect [6200-6400] centimeter of hydrogen which is used to make Apollo synthetic lab created diamonds. De Beers was successful at detecting synthetic lab created diamonds. The diamond industry felt relief that the market price would remain stable.
But this was a meaningless exercise. Apollo was only interested in selling gem quality diamonds to fund his diamond computer chip program. His goal from the beginning was to create a ” Better Computer Chip.” They spent a decade trying to find the “Sweet Spot” where he can duplicate his scientific chemical vapor deposition experiment and reproduce an exact synthetic lab created diamond. After countless years of trial and error, Apollo Diamond pain stakingly persevered and finally found the “Sweet Spot” and was awarded a patent for his efforts.
De Beers was also a very creative and industrious individual. Being a man of action and with inexhaustible wealth, set out to develop his own synthetic diamond. He also new the diamond testing machines were only his first plan of attack. His second was in motion. He purchased his own “World Class” laboratory to create synthetic diamonds for computer chips. His facility was named ” Element Six.”
De Beers a privately held company called “Diamond Trading Company” has a very large agenda. He currently owns the largest single stock pile of high end diamonds on earth. He has accumulated this treasure over his [100] year mining history in Africa. His power allows him to manipulate world price on high end diamonds through Antwerp Belgium. His next goal is to create the first “Diamond Computer Chip” and control the world market and computer industry. If ever a man exist who could do this it would be DeBeers.
The rest of the world is now waking up to the colossal economic stakes. Now Europe and Japan have begun scientific endeavor toward the quest of creating the first synthetic lab created diamond computer chip. But Intel, the largest silicon chip producer in the United States is apparently indifferent to it all. The comment by Soumyanath, Intel’s director of communication circuits research,”It takes about ten years to evaluate a new material, we have a lot invested in silicon and we’re not about to abandon that.” Unless Intel has revised it’s position, the torch is in the hands of Apollo Diamond and DeBeers Element Six synthetic laboratories.
Apollo wasn’t asleep at the wheel while all of this was going on. He continued his research after being granted a patent. His next scientific break-through was in collaboraton with French and Israel scientist. They together discovered how to produce a [CVD] snythetic lab created diamond with a positive and negative charge. The process was called “Boron-Doped N Type.” Apollo injected boron mineral with a [P-N] positive and negative charge, into the diamond crystal lattice. Resulting in the first diamond on earth with the capacity to hold a charge and conduct electricity without over heating. The race is on.
