Lab-created diamonds (also called lab-grown, man-made or synthetic) are optically, chemically and physically identical to their mined counterparts, but do not carry the same degree of social and environmental impact. Though the white lab-grown diamonds are comprable in price to mined white diamonds, the colored lab-grown gems offer an incredible value compared to colored mined diamonds.

Diamonds are a woman's best friend, they say. Now, a new study has claimed that the gems may soon turn out to be a patient's best
friend as well.

An international team, led by scientists from Harvard University, has carried out the study and found that diamond, formed of pure carbon, occasionally has minute imperfections within its crystalline lattice.

A common impurity is a "nitrogen vacancy", in which two carbon atoms are replaced by a single atom of nitrogen, leaving the other carbon atom space vacant. Nitrogen vacancies are in part responsible for diamond's famed luster, for they are actually fluorescent.

According to the scientists, the slight variations in this fluorescence can be used to determine the magnetic spin of a single electron in the nitrogen. Spin's quantum property that has a value of either "up" or "down", and therefore could represent one or zero in binary computation.

The team's recent achievement was to transfer this quantum information repeatedly between the nitrogen electron and the nuclei of adjacent carbon atoms, forming a small circuit capable of logic operations.

Reading a quantum bit's spin information--a fundamental task for a quantum computer--has been a daunting challenge, but the team demonstrated that by transferring the information back and forth between the electron and the nuclei, the information could be amplified, making it much easier to read.

Namibia, located in South Africa, hosts a population of approximately 1.8 million people, more than 50% of whom live below the international poverty line (less than $1.25 USD per day). The nation has suffered heavily from the effects of HIV/AIDS. In 2007, it was reported that 15% of the adult population was infected with HIV.

With an unemployment rate that hovers between 30-40%, it is easy to see why the mining industry, which accounts for 25% of Namibia’s revenue, is considered a necessary evil. Mining for uranium, lead, zinc, tungsten, silver and diamonds provide much needed economic stimuli.

The Kalahari Diamonds, introduced by Finesse Diamonds, are traced through the supply chain from mining to market. Each polished diamond is crafted entirely in Namibia, bringing opportunity to the people and communities from which the diamonds are harvested. A group of Namibian craftpersons, 50% of whom are women, shape each stone for maximum brilliance.

The ethically sourced Kalahari Diamonds offer consumers the opportunity to have beautifully crafted, genuine African diamonds while contributing to positive economic development in one of the world’s most impoverished nations.

Dear Whiteflash Sales Team,

 

I just had to write you and let you know how much I love my engagement ring! Dustin proposed last weekend and it was amazing- I hadn't seen the ring at all (or any of the pics) since I last talked with you, so it was a total surprise what it looked like. The diamond is GORGEOUS- really, it is stunning. It sparkles like crazy and has so much fire- it is just putting out color all over the place. I am so happy with the whole ring, and still can't believe we got so much quality for such a great price! You were so helpful throughout the whole process, and I cannot thank you enough. Whiteflash is an amazing company and I will tell everyone that I know to go to you for their engagement purchases. 

 

The I color is fantastic (I really can't notice any tinge of color- it's more a slight warmth at times in certain lighting- otherwise, it looks icy white in most lighting), and I am really enjoying the flouro. I also do not mind the inclusion at all- I can hardly ever see it, and only when I am staring at the diamond from a distance of 2-3 inches away from my eyes (and even then I have to squint my eyes to see it). The diamond setting is gorgeous too- it really displays the diamond in a great way without being too high that I knock it on various things. I still think I might eventually take you up on the offer to shave the prongs if I want a wedding band to sit flush, but maybe I should try on a few before I decide if it's worth it. The whole ring is just elegant and classic- I couldn't ask for anything more!

 

Again, thanks SOOOOOO much for all of your help- you were constantly attentive and helpful. I have never had such wonderful customer service. Thanks for all that you did to make this ring and proposal so spectacular!

All the best to you always,

Kate

When you're looking for an engagement ring, there are things that you have to consider. Sure, cost is important, but there are things that matter more than money. Will your fiancé love the ring? Is it the right style, size, and shape? What kind of wedding band will it go with? These questions and thousands more are important.

It's also important, however much you pay for the ring, that you get your money's worth. The only way you can really do that is if you understand some things about diamond engagement rings. The ring itself is not that costly. It is the diamond that raises the price, and if you don't know what you're buying you could end up getting cheated. You really can't just pick out something that looks pretty. It's much better to find something that is right for your budget and right for the hand of the lady that you love.

It may seem unromantic to shop for that ring together, but then you'll be certain that you purchase what she really loves.
