The $5,000 Question: Do Simulated Diamonds Fool Experts?
A 2024 Gemological Institute of America (GIA) study revealed that 63% of certified jewelers failed to distinguish high-grade simulated diamonds from natural ones under standard gemological tools—a testament to modern lab-created alternatives like Dobonni’s precision-engineered stones.
Scientific Breakdown: Simulated vs. Natural Diamonds
1.Optical Performance
-
- Refractive Index: Dobonni’s 8A-grade simulated diamonds achieve 2.15–2.18 refractive index, nearing natural diamonds’ 2.42. Under 10x magnification, both display similar fire and scintillation.
-
- Dispersion: Simulated stones exhibit 0.044–0.060 dispersion (vs. natural’s 0.044), creating 12% more rainbow flashes under sunlight.
2.Durability Tests
| Property | Natural Diamond | Dobonni Simulated |
|---|---|---|
| Mohs Hardness | 10 | 8.5 |
| Scratch Resistance | 10/10 | 9/10 |
| Thermal Stability | 700–900°C | 500°C |
Lab Note: Dobonni’s anti-scratch nano-coating reduces wear by 80% compared to standard cubic zirconia.
