Battle Creek, Michigan – D.NEA is a well-known producer of eco-friendly and completely conflict-free gemstone and diamond jewelry. Their diamonds are all lab-grown, using the same intense heat and pressure that turns carbon into diamonds, but the process takes far less time, has little ecological impact, and the results are far less expensive. Because the diamonds are synthesized in a controlled environment, there are none of the imperfections that natural diamonds can hold. The clarity of a lab-created diamond is always perfect. It has proven relatively easy to grow a colorless diamond, but giving them color has been more difficult. Previously, colored diamonds—blue in particular—were quite small. Now D.NEA has developed a process that has allowed them to create the world’s largest lab-grown blue diamonds. |
