Gemesis is a company that grows yellow diamonds. These are known as synthetic, lab created, lab grown or cultured diamonds. Synthetic diamonds are real diamonds and also produced by D.NEA, Apollo and Chatham.
Nea Diamonds, Gemesis, Chatham Jewelry, Takara Diamonds, Apollo Diamonds, Lucent Diamonds and Renaissance Diamonds are few diamond manufacturers selling man made diamond.
Carat.cc sells diamond simulants. These are imitation diamonds, that may look like a diamond but do not possess the same properties. Currently there are only a couple companies that can make real lab grown diamonds: Apollo, Chatham, D.NEA, Gemesis
Diamonds are one of the most sought after gemstones and mines are found in Africa, Asia, North America and Oceania. One of the best known companies is Gemesis Diamond Company. They offer diamonds in both colorless and fancy yellow colors and turn this precious gemstone into earrings, rings bracelets, and brooches.
Best will depend on what you are looking for. There are only a couple companies that offer lab diamonds, so that will help narrow your selection. Apollo grows diamonds using CVD technology and offers whites up to 1/3ct. D.NEA grows yellow diamond up to 2ct, blue up to 1.25ct, and white diamond up to 1ct using HPHT. Chatham grows yellow and blue up to 1/2ct using HPHT. Gemesis grows yellow up to three carats using HPHT.
There are different methods and types of equipment, the most known are: 1. HPHT Method - Split-Sphere press, used by Gemesis, New Age Diamonds 2. HPHT Method - BELTS press, used by Element Six (De Beers) 3. CVD Method - CVD equipment, used by Apollo and many others
'Best' is a bit of a relative term. Cultured, or lab grown diamonds, are available in multiple colors from multiple labs. I would note that currently very few *white* lab grown diamonds are available. D.NEA has made whites up to one carat and Apollo Diamonds has offered some up to 1/3 carat. Of the cultured yellow diamonds, the major sellers are Gemesis, D.NEA (was Adia), Takara, New Age Diamonds and Chatham. Takara's yellow diamonds seem to be the most consistently 'pure yellow', rather than the more common orange-yellow from the other labs. D.NEA has the largest selection of blue diamonds. Pink diamonds are available at TakaraDiamonds.com and a few other sites like DiamondsCultured.com (made by Chatham). I'll add some links to the various sites and you can research from there, as best is really partially dependent on what color you like and what type of cut you want. Diamond Culture, a new supplier as of October 2009 has a large selection of IGI certified yellow, pink and lime diamonds, all cut in Antwerp. Created-Diamonds.com is an online retailer of cultured diamonds produced by different labs.
There are currently only a handful of labs that make lab grown *gem* quality diamonds. Gemesis and Apollo are two.If you are asking about lab grown diamonds that are of industrial quality (small, not pretty pieces) then there are lots including GE, Sumitomo and DeBeers (E6).I've attached links to a grower and a seller of lab grown diamonds for jewelry below.
The color scale for white diamonds runs from D to Z. On one end of the spectrum you have completely white without any traces of yellow and on the other end, a diamond fully saturated with yellow and no traces of whiteness. Due to the fact that they are quite common, they are actually quite affordable.
