How absolutely fascinating. Loved listening to Anabella …It’s so incredible how she is creating and producing jewelry but also in how she is sourcing her materials
Fascinating! I have always loved stones. So many different colours. Diamonds are very pretty but I love the colours of blue topaz, aquamarine, emerald, ruby, sapphire, jade, all the myriad of jasper, all the agates, dumorturite, turquoise, obsidian, malachite, the many quartzes…. When set in gold or silver they are so valuable and beautiful. I love the idea if working with aluminium, copper, brass, steel for a change.
I fully approve of lab grown gems. Thousands of years ago a king might wield a sword made out of meteorite metal. Utterly exclusive. Today a sword can be made with quality industrially produced steel that any king from those ages would sell his family members for, and the cost is entirely down to the crafter's talent. The alternative metal use is also great.
I am currently baked right now, but that was a very deep as well as truthful statement. It makes you think why some of us are so interested in past ways of living/hunting/crafting etc. A uncontacted or native tribe would look at us crazy if for instance we wanted to know and ask "How one would make a bow and arrows out of everything you see around you?", which don't get me wrong they have for centuries if not longer…while you have a Hoyt RX-7 compound bow with Gold Tip Velocity PRO 300 Arrows with 2-Inch Raptor Vane Arrows.
Love her creations 💚 thank you for this interview to show us how she sources and creates. It's a true rare gem when the ideology and the person behind the products are equally beautiful 😍💎
This is fascinating!! This inspires me to make jwellery from these beautiful gems for my future wife. I'll be delighted to see her wearing these gemstones.
I appreciate this deep dive into lab-grown diamonds! It's fantastic to see more people recognizing their value. At Solitario Diamond, we offer everyone a wide range of beautiful lab-grown diamond pieces! 💎✨
I hope these technologies don't get monopolized by few companies in few countries to keep the prices in check. Make the barrier to entry cheaper, sell these carbon capture and methane ovens machines to all countries.
The technology came from the semiconductor industry. So don't worry that the tech will get locked up it is too late for that. The technology is intensively used to manufacture microchips.
Best documentary! We want bigger beautiful gemstones and amazing designs without the negative impact. Jewelry is supposed to be fun, playful and heartfelt expression. There is no room for destruction in the equation.
I have always hated diamonds I felt they were cold and inhuman never understood this growing up until I watched my first documentary on how diamonds were mined and I finally understood why I felt the way that I did. I love the idea of the lab grown diamond because of the fact we can use the ashes of loved ones human and pet alike and have a diamond grown from the ashes but also have them in a range of colours I have a pink diamond that was given to me by my husbands grandparents I use to we’re it all the time thinking that because it was pink it was not worth anything, umm oops we were out one day walked past a jewellery shop in China Town where they had a whole window display of pink and coloured diamonds we were shocked to see one the same size I was wearing and how much it was worth so no I don’t wear it everyday anymore if I lost it I would be heart broken. We don’t have children to pass the ring down to but hubbies half brother has just gotten married so we are hoping they will have children and we can then pass it on to them when the time comes.
This is fascinating and the pieces are beautiful. I'm concerned about their sources of gold though. Removing the gold from electronics is a dangerous process often performed by the poorest people in countries like India. Why didn't the show their gold sources like they did the other components?
Recycled gold has nothing special about it. Whether it came from old jewelry, or recycled electronics, it still involves the removal and crushing of a ton or more of rock when it was mined. Much of the recycled gold comes from the work of incredibly impoverished third world countries where poor villagers pick over huge dumps filled with toxic waste to extract tiny amounts of gold in discarded circuit boards. I have a lot of respect for companies and artists who truly make an effort to repurpose discarded materials. On the other hand, I have zero regard for those who attempt to cloak their work in "earth-conciousness" that does not actually exist.
I never understood the appeal of diamonds, or why people liked them: to me, they’re just boring, colorless rocks. Salespersons would talk about a diamond’s “fire” and I’m like, “Okay, but have you ever seen a Fire Opal?” Now those are stunning! The only piece of jewelry I have that came out of the ground is my engagement ring, which we found in an antique store (blue sapphire surrounded by 6 tiny diamonds, circa 1920s). The rest of my jewelry collection is lab grown. I love the look of rubies, emeralds, sapphires, opals, etc., but I’m not paying out the ear for a stone that is potentially unethically sourced or mined in a war zone. Give me lab grown any day!
Diamonds have always been controversial; their value seems almost baffling given that they’re essentially just shiny rocks. In fact, diamonds are more common in the universe than we might think. On the other hand, lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) are even less valuable because they have zero resale potential. For instance, if you buy a $500 LGD ring, no jeweler would buy it back, even at 1% of the original cost. In contrast, a $5,000 natural diamond ring can often be exchanged for another piece of high-quality jewelry at 100% of its value, with resale values typically ranging from 50% to 60%. While most people don't sell their diamond rings, having the option to do so is crucial. Looking ahead, I anticipate that within the next decade, LGD production will become exceedingly cheap, potentially flooding the market with hundreds of millions of carats annually, with rough cut prices dropping to around $30 per carat. This oversupply will likely drive LGD prices even lower.
Natural diamond need high pressure to be formed. Under low pressure Carbon would go into graphite (each one carbon atom is bonded to another 3 carbon atoms), and only when you add high pressure (at it has to be quite a high pressure), Carbon will form diamond (each one C atom is bonded to another 4 carbon atoms). And so, I always wonder, if you don't create any high pressure in your synthetic production process, how do you get the Carbon to go into the diamond and not into the graphite?
At last someone echoing the sentiment that fine jewellery is/are works of art that adorn and may be enjoyed by the wearer. Often the stones within the piece are not as important as the finished piece and yet so much emphasis is placed on the precious stones ignoring the superb craftsmanship employed to reveal the completed piece.
I have been a collector, and proponent of lab grown gems for over twenty years. The finer quality lab grown gems are the penultimate of material sciences. Crystals of ruby and sapphire and emerald, grown using the "Flux process" invented by Carol Chatham, are superior in every way, to their earth mined counterparts. Indeed, the crystals thus grown, are beautiful enough to set in jewelery, without cutting or polishing of any kind.
In virtually ALL CASES, labgrown gems are superior in quality, to mined stones. If a flawless ruby represents nature's "one in a billion," lab grown crystals democratize those gems by making them widely available.
I like the fact a lab grown diamond is as hard as a natural diamond. That can be for forever for me, though I would like to obtain really cheap ones on the secondary market. In the case of other lab grown gems like ruby and the like the uniformity of colour is a bit of a bore and being of lesser hardness than diamonds they can be damaged. Only pure white well cut lab grown diamond appeals. I also think lab grown diamond would show up natural gemstones like sapphire and opal beautifully.
wait is it possible to 3D print aluminum, gold or any other metal. I thought 3D (additivie) printing is only currently possible with hard or flexible plastics
@@DeusVult77763 I'm not in the know or even an armature enthusiast but I have seen articles discussing methods of it. I assume if manmade jewels are deemed worthy then why are artist still employing archaic metal work when there's such exciting new methods with increased precision?
Usually 3D printing is being used in the jewelry industry to make the lost wax figure, as it leaves some structural micro cracks if you print with metal
While I really like what she is doing and her aproach to making jewelry, I do not think the industry of high-class jewelry is ever become sustainable. With the lab-grown gemstones also there is the question of where does the energy to create them comes from. Because if it does not come from revewable sources, we can not really talk about a "sustainable" gems.
There is something called the Resource Curse, you can check it up... When a country starts exploiting some natural resource, it fails to give a decent life for the citizens that work in that industry, or that were expelled from the lands where the resource was found. That industry is the driver for misery, and when it's gone (when there is no longer that resource, or the demand has changed), the local population may get a better life by working in another industry, or going somewhere else to work
..........And hopefully the lives of those who were mining diamonds in the old way will also have a slightly improved quality of life.....because all this talk about sustainable and less harm to the environment will not mean much if the true treasure -- that is people are not affected positively also.
Maybe he meant to say 1/4 gram? (And yes, it's really 1/5 gram...) I couldn't figure out what he meant either... but the real figure makes his argument even stronger, by a factor of 20. It takes literal tons of resources to liberate very small amounts of diamond from the ground.
@@kellybraille Dear Kelly, if he meant to say 1/4 gram (and as you know, it's really 1/5 gram), then that would contradict the gentleman's statement that there is NOT much carbon in a diamond since, again, 1/5 of a gram=1 carat and that would mean that the entire diamond is made up of carbon... Do you think that's true? Because unless the laws of chemistry have changed, or I've been lied to, or perhaps I don't understand something, the last time I checked, the chemical formula for diamond was C →meaning carbon. Surely, I understand there are impurities within a diamond but still I would say the highest element within a diamond would be carbon. I am by no means a fan of the natural diamond industry. In fact, I believe the natural diamond industry has been nothing but an elaborate marketing scheme. And indeed, lab-grown diamonds are so much better and more intelligent and more environmentally friendly than natural diamonds, not to mention the social goodness it brings so many people (by stopping blood diamonds). But does that mean we should take anybody's word without questioning it? I don't think so. There are more than a few bogus statements in this video, mostly said by the gentleman with the scarf. Do you really think that it would take "digging of 1,100 tons of rock and exposure of 30 tons of toxic metal to the environment and the consumption of 5000 liters of water and the production of half a ton of greenhouse gas" to make A SINGLE ONE CARAT DIAMOND? That would not make any economic sense at all. I am not arguing natural diamond mining is not harmful to the environment. All I am saying is that these specific numbers may very well be just made up or not true just as It is not true that there are 4 grams of carbon in a 1-carat stone.
"We discovered that there's not much carbon in a diamond" Local man discovers conservation of matter. Next he'll be investigating how much water there is in an ice cube.
There is NO SUCH THING as laboratory grown tourmaline! Tourmaline has NEVER been successfully synthesized in gem quality. To say Lady GaGa wore lab grown tourmaline, is an outright LIE. I have great respect for the product of labs that grow true "synthetics" with identical chemical, physical, and optical qualities of mined stones. However, I have nothing but contempt for those who misrepresent IMITATIONS, such as silica glass, for true synthetic gems.
Lab diamonds are so pure and perfect that to fool the gem dealers they have resorted to adding impurities to their creations for minor flaws and subtle color changes and a bit of murkiness.

Fantastic. Wish more people were thinking like this fantastic woman and gave up on the old, stupid way of sourcing diamonds.
agree
She is doing it just because its EASIER to source and more profit margin for her.
I promise you ethics are NOT the reason she does this, it's the fact that they are a THIRD of the price and easily sourced.
Diamond ring was not a wedding tradition until De Beers make it so about 100 years ago.
This was super inspiring! Amazing stuff and huge respect to Anabela. Cheers

If you had glass and a diamond next to each other in front of you, you would see the difference. Glass is crystal but diamonds are also magical.

Diamonds (both natural and lab) reflect light more than glass and they are harder-- meaning they are durable and scratch resistant.

Because the other 2/3 can go into something actually useful, like a house.
