Swarovski Created Diamonds are the diamonds of the future (Home - Swarovski Created Diamonds (swarovski-createddiamonds.com).

Identical to mined diamonds in every way but origin, a Swarovski Created Diamond is made using an innovative process that flawlessly replicates nature, resulting in a laboratory-grown diamond that is indistinguishable from a mined diamond in all chemical, physical, and optical attributes. Once grown, after forming layer-by-layer from a tiny carbon seed, they are precision-cut and polished to perfection revealing maximum brilliance, scintillation, and fire. Swarovski Created Diamonds are graded using the 4Cs of clarity, color, cut, and carat weight.

Swarovski Created Diamonds offer the perfect access point for those desiring the luxury of diamonds. Stones of 0.25 carat and larger carry a microscopic laser inscription "SWAROVSKI CREATED DIAMOND" as a guarantee of quality and Swarovski's expertise, craftsmanship, and mastery of light.

Swarovski is proud to offset the energy used to produce Swarovski Created Diamonds, making the process certified climate neutral, and works in adherence with high-level environmental, safety and labor standards.

Swarovski is a place where magic and science meet.
