ABSTRACT

This article reports the result on the spectroscopic analysis of the three Lightbox CVD-grown diamonds. Lightbox Jewelry, a De Beers company, has begun selling CVD laboratory-grown diamonds since September 2018. Recently, we had the opportunity to examine three Lightbox’s pendant necklaces. The 0.25 ct, 0.25 ct, and 0.26 ct round brilliant were graded as “H” n ear colorless, F ancy Vivid o rangy pink, a nd F ancy Vivid b lue with c ut g rades of excellent, respectively. T he l aserinscribed Lightbox logo under the table, large enough to be easily visible with a microscope. Based on the spectroscopic techniques, for near colorless sample was not subjected to post-growth HPHT processing to improve its color. For pink sample, optical centers at H3, 3H, 594 nm, NV, and GR1 were recorded. It was speculated that the pink sample have been received irradiation and annealing. In addition, the blue CVD synthetic sample was concluded to be irradiated without annealing.
