The Idea of Created Diamonds

Are diamonds beautiful? No doubt they are! Everybody will surely agree with this fact. But is the hole in the Earth several kilometers in diameter beautiful, or swirl of dust raised by giant truck wheels, or hectares of cut forests, or polluted rivers? Do they look great? Till recently it was impossible to comprehend the beauty of a diamond gem without making such harm to nature.

Probably the main idea of created diamonds is to be eco-friendly. Scientists and engineers spent years to study the nature of diamonds to find the possibility to recreate them synthetically. Supported by eco-conscious people and the department of environmental control they managed to reach success and found the way to grow diamonds in the laboratory. HPHT is already a known abbreviation that refers to high pressure high temperature technology. Judging from the name you may guess that diamonds are grown under intense pressure and high heat - in simulated conditions that are equal to natural. A grain of natural diamond and a handful of graphite put into a chamber under certain conditions turn into 100% real eco-friendly diamond.

Created diamonds are real ones with the same properties as mined diamonds have: optical, physical and chemical. They look like mined diamonds, they have the same diamond lattice structure and bands and they hardly be distinguished from mined ones. Lab grown diamonds are solid, wearproof, tough, fadeless, endurable and of course possess that stunning luster and brilliance diamonds are loved for. But what they are really praised for is their origin. Being grown by man created diamonds do not imply digging, thus make no harm to nature - no more air and water pollution, no more soil erosion, no more damage to rare species of flora and fauna. Currently created diamonds are number one choice for followers of green movement and the rest eco-conscious people.

To conclude, there is a possibility to comprehend brilliance and beauty of real diamond without causing damage to nature. Don't be indifferent to environment we live in and make a right choice when buying diamond jewelry.

22 April is the Earth's day. Let's take care about our Planet.

Actually, the Earth's day should be every day, but not once in a year. However, this is a nice chance to show one's attitude towards the environment on April 22. Here are some activities you may do while taking care about the planet:

• Rid litter. It's easy to rid litter from your backyard, but what about litter scattered on the road or neighboring street? There is a number of clean-up groups on this day which pick up litter on the streets like plastic cans, paper bags etc. In order to support the idea of taking care about the environment, some organizations donate gloves and bags and other necessary equipment to such groups.
• Plant a tree. Yeh, the best way to go green is to do it with a green plant. More trees - more oxygen and lesser bad impact of exhausted gases. Trees are also planted in order to avoid soil erosion. In addition to practical benefits, trees are just great to raise the spirits. It's very pleasant to have a nap in a shade of a tree in a hot day.
• Ride your bicycle. It's a known fact that automobile exhaust emissions take a greater part of all emissions that cause greenhouse effect. If you are an eco-conscious person, give preference to your bike or any other type of eco transportation instead of car, at least on the 22rd of April.
• Learn more about our planet and teach your children. The Earth is our house we live in. The Earth's day is a nice occasion to learn more about the environment to help to protect it. Like, you may read about the places that you know little about, like Africa, underwater world or deserts. It's a nice opportunity to start think globally.
• Make an offer of marriage! Yah, it's a nice chance. There is a nice opportunity to buy an engagement ring and say the sweet words to your dearest. The best way to show your environmentally friendly attitude is to purchase a diamond ring with a man-made diamond. First, it's absolutely eco-friendly as it is made in the laboratory; second, created diamond is of the same quality as natural one - it is real; third, man-made diamonds are cheaper. So, triple profit as you see.

Have a nice Earth's Day and practice it every day :)
