'Lab Diamonds' Offer Alternative To Mined Diamonds

(CBS4) DENVER The movie "Blood Diamond" has forced international attention on the conflict and oppression associated with mined diamonds.

People who want a conflict free diamond have a stunning new alternative, and it's even a bargain.

The movie profiles the dangerous business of "blood diamonds" in Africa, and that's made a lot of people think twice about their next piece of jewelry.

To be absolutely positive a diamond has no connections to conflict, it has to come from a laboratory.

Fifth Avenue Designs is the first retailer in Colorado to carry lab diamonds, but only after owner Larry Blauweiss gave the gemstones a second look.

"My first impression was oh, oh here we go with another copy of a diamond, until I looked at them," Blauweiss said.

The diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties of a natural mined stone.

"That's the beauty there really is no difference," Blauweiss said.

To create them in a lab, Apollo Diamond takes slivers of diamond crystal and exposes them to intense heat, pressure and carbon. Another company, Gemesis, grows these hard-to-find diamonds with intense color.

Amy Scalercio's husband surprised her with a ring designed around a stunning lab diamond. .

"When you put it on you still feel the butterflies that you felt the first day," she said.

Scalercio told CBS4 she's never had anyone ask if it is a naturally mined or a real diamond.

For some people, the greatest appeal of lab diamonds may be the price tag. Laboratory diamonds cost just a third that of a mined stone the same size.
