High-quality synthetic diamonds created by the Gemesis Corp. are examined and their gemmological properties are explicated.
Read MoreHigh-quality CVD-grown diamonds, comparable in colour and clarity to natural diamonds, can be identified using a combination of gemmological and spectroscopic properties.

An examination of the gemmological and spectroscopic properties of CVD synthetic diamonds from Gemesis Corp.
Read MoreSynthetic moissanite is much closer to diamond in overall appearance and heft than any previous diamond imitation; this article reports on how to identify and characterise it.

Pink CVD lab-grown products can be separated from natural and treated-colour natural pink diamonds by a combination of gemmological and spectroscopic properties, which are explored in this study.

Knowledge of type allows gemmologists to better evaluate if a diamond might be treated or synthetic, and whether it should be sent to a laboratory for testing.
Read MoreExamination of 51 colourless to near-colourless synthetic diamonds from all known sources of production confirms that they can be distinguished from similar-appearing natural diamonds on the basis of their gemmological properties.
Read MoreA new chart, supplementing the one published in the Winter 1995 issue of Gems & Gemmology, summarises the features of both as-grown (“non-modified”) and treated (“modified”) synthetic diamonds currently in the gem market.
