Gemesis

X The Gemesis Corporation is the world’s leading producer of gem quality, fancy color diamonds.

X A term used to distinguish diamonds grown by man from those grown in nature. "Cultured" is a term that is understood by the consumer, it has been used for over one hundred years to describe pearls engineered by man.

X A Cultured or Laboratory-grown diamond is a stone that has the identical optical, physical and chemical properties as a mined diamond with point of origin being the only differentiator. One is grown above the ground while the other is extracted from the ground. Simply put, a Gemesis Cultured Diamond is a diamond.

X Gemesis is a private U.S. corporation located in Sarasota, FL.

X Gemesis does not create diamonds, what we create is the environment in which diamonds grow. When carbon in the form of graphite is submitted to the same extreme temperatures and pressures that exist 100 miles below the earth’s surface……..just as in nature diamond crystals are formed. A Cultured Diamond is a diamond that is grown from a small diamond seed, under the same conditions that natural diamonds grow in the earth. The diamond seed is placed in an environment that contains carbon, the molecular component of diamonds. After applying tremendous pressure and very high temperatures, under highly controlled conditions, the small diamond seed begins to grow, molecule by molecule, layer by layer, emulating nature’s process.

X Cultured diamonds are physically, optically and chemically the same as earth-grown diamonds. They have the same brilliance, luster, fire, hardness, refractive index and specific gravity with the only difference being their origin. One is grown above the ground while the other is extracted from the ground. Both are in fact diamond.

X Gemesis diamonds, like earth-grown diamonds, are graded according to the Gemological Institute of America’s 4C’s standards for clarity, cut, carat weight, and color. As further certification each Gemesis diamond after polishing is laser inscribed with the Gemesis name and an identifying number.

X Yes. The Gemological Institute of America, among others, will provide diamond grading reports certifying it is a diamond. The source being laboratory-grown.

X We price the Gemesis Diamonds based on current industry standards for both colorless and color diamonds. If you compare a Gemesis Diamond to a comparable natural color diamond, you will find the Gemesis Diamond is on average one-third the price of a natural fancy-color diamond. We have even found that a Gemesis Diamond is typically less than a comparable colorless diamond.

X The color of each Gemesis diamond arises naturally during the growth of the diamond. The colors are vivid, often superior to most mined fancy color diamonds. We currently specialize in the most popular colors, yellow and orange. Pink, blue and colorless are in the pipeline.

X Some of the world’s most famous and notorious diamonds are fancy color. Each recognized for their extreme beauty and rarity, fancy color diamonds are associated with some of the most iconic figures in history, from Louis XIV and his precious Tavernier Blue (later re-cut and known as the Hope Diamond) to Catherine the Great and her famous Blue-Green Orlov. Everyone remembers Marilyn Monroe’s beautiful pear shape yellow diamond, the Moon of Baroda, which she wore to promote the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes… And today fancy color diamonds are more visible than ever… Jennifer Lopez’ pink diamond… Heidi Klum’s 10 carat yellow diamond… and of course Halle Berry, who received her 2002 Oscar wearing a pumpkin diamond ring.
