Does anyone know where to buy loose synthetic or lab created diamonds? Not simulants but rather synthetic?

loose diamonds
convex04 asked:


Synthetic diamonds have the exact same qualities as natural diamonds, but they are flawless and less expensive. I have been searching the internet for places to purchase these diamonds online, but I have come up empty handed. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

Go to a real jewelry store, not one of these mall joints but a real jewelry store that does in house repairs and makes custom pieces. They have buying rights with loose diamond companies and can order them in for you. Best of luck

Have you tried Moissanite? Is that synthetic??? I know they’re lab created.

This site seems to just carry fancy (colored) diamonds.

Try looking for cultured diamonds, will removed fake diamonds.

research is still being done on how to make synthetic diamonds. they dont have it right yet and i dont believe they are on the market. there is alot of controversy surrounding this. many people think that moissanite is a synthetic diamond, but thats not true, they have different components. however if you are looking for a look alike that is much cheaper then that might be the closest you can get. a diamond is made of compressed heated carbon, kinda like what a pencil lead would be if it was put under pressure and heat for a loooong time. this makes it the hardest thing on earth, so they do make a type of synthetic diamond for drilling and things of that sort. but as far as purchasing a cut and polished form of this i dont think it is possible at this time. best thing to do now is buy a small diamond, a large cubic zirconia, or a medium sized moissanite.
