  • Warming up your Jewelry with Gemesis Diamonds

    An interesting jewelry trend these last few years has been the "warming up" of colors contained within the pieces. These warm colors consist of many names but may include:

    • scarlet
    • tumbleweed
    • dandelion

    None of these colors are primary colors – they are secondary or tertiary colors.

    Here's an example of a classic, warm-toned piece that can only enhance your wardrobe:

  • A Brief Lesson in Gemesis Diamonds

    Gemesis cultured diamonds are becoming increasingly popular for a vast array of reasons but the main ones include extremely high quality, affordable price and ecological conscientiousness. The consumer of today wants to feel decked out in jewels but in a way that's in step with our time.

    Gemesis began creating diamonds in its laboratories in the 1990's. According to Wikipedia:

    While visiting Moscow in 1995 someone asked retired Army General and
    West Point graduate Carter Clarke if he wanted to buy a diamond making
    machine. Three months later he visited Moscow again with the scientist Reza Abbaschian
    and brought 3 of the machines and also 3 Russian scientists to
    Sarasota, Florida.

    After 7 years of research and development in
    cooperation with experts from the University of Florida his company brought high quality diamonds onto the market.Gemesis started marketing its diamonds by polishing them and selling directly to jewelry retailers.

    Since then, the quality and craftsmanship of their product has steadily increased. We have a wide array of Gemesis diamond jewelry to choose from – or better yet, tell us what you'd like to create and we can make your dream piece for you.

  • The Genesis of Gemesis

    So what is Gemesis and why is it causing such a stir in the market?

    Well, let’s explore what Gemesis is not, first:

    • It is not a diamond imitation, like cubic zirconia
    • It is not as expensive as mined diamonds
    • It is not lacking in brilliance, fire or hardness as a mined diamond

    Gemesis is a laboratory-grown diamond of exceptional color and clarity. It is considered a “cultured” diamond but a diamond nonetheless.

    How does one “grow” a diamond?

    With a diamond seed, of course! Seriously. The seed is placed in a carbon-rich environment, heated and pressurized, then begins to grow, molecule by molecule into a beautiful gem.

    Gemesis diamonds can be produced in a myriad of rich, inviting colors such as yellow, pink, blue, green, or even red. In these times, customers are looking for a quality gem and affordable prices. Gemesis offers just that, hence its success.

    So what is a “Gemesis cultured diamond”? As the Gemesis Company puts it so aptly:

    “Simply put, a Gemesis Cultured Diamond is a diamond.”
