The Gemesis Corporation is a privately-held company and the principal producer of gem-quality lab-created diamonds and jewelry. Available in the purest Type IIa colorless and rare fancy yellow colors, these diamonds possess the same exceptional cut, color and clarity, as well as identical chemical, optical and physical characteristics as the highest-quality mined diamonds – the only differentiator is point of origin.

Privately-held, Gemesis has the world’s largest facilities comprised of High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond production. Using these methods, Gemesis is able to bring to market high-quality colorless and fancy color diamonds that have all the beauty of their mined counterparts and offer tremendous value when compared to mined diamonds with the same characteristics.

Background While diamond-growing technology has been around for over five decades, gem-quality results have only been achievable for a few years. There are many reasons to consider a lab-created diamond as an alternative to naturally mined diamonds. Diamonds created by Gemesis are certified by leading gemological institutes and cherished by anyone seeking a truly beautiful, environmentally and socially responsible diamond of the highest quality, purity and rarity. Each Gemesis diamond is totally unique, just as in nature. Each one takes months to get to the final polished end point and once the rough diamond is created and skillfully cut and polished, it is just as radiant and distinct as one created naturally.

Type IIa Colorless Diamonds Gemesis' remarkable proprietary technology offers consumers a full line of high-quality, colorless lab-created diamonds. Gemesis colorless diamonds are all certified as Type IIa, the purest type of diamond, which is extremely rare in nature. Less than two percent of the world's diamonds are Type IIa. A renowned example is the “Elizabeth Taylor Diamond,” formerly known as the “Krupp Diamond,” a 33.19-carat Type IIa diamond that was recently auctioned by Christie's.

Fancy Color Diamonds Until recently, high-quality, fancy color stones were only available in mined form, which can easily sell for tens of thousands of dollars per carat. Some of the world's most famous natural diamonds are of fancy color. With exceptional beauty and rarity, these diamonds have been associated with many intriguing figures in history from Louis XIV to Catherine the Great. Gemesis is now able to make fancy color diamonds accessible to today’s fashion-conscious consumers. Available in brilliant yellow and golden yellow hues, these diamonds have all the beauty, quality and color of their mined counterparts at an extremely attractive price.

Environmentally Friendly As massive diamond mining operations are not in pace with increasing consumer consciousness, Gemesis Diamond Company is proud to offer diamonds grown in a controlled environment, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint and very little overall environmental impact compared to mined diamonds. Gemesis lab-created diamonds are a responsible choice for ecologically conscious consumers.

Guaranteed Conflict-Free Consumers who aspire to make socially responsible purchasing decisions have concerns related to “conflict” or “blood” diamonds. As Gemesis cultured diamonds are origin guaranteed and fully disclosed as lab-created, these concerns are alleviated. Gemesis Diamond Company operates at the highest level of safety standards and fair, humane and ethical labor practices.
