不少人都有一個疑問，究竟培植鑽石擁有由認可機構如GIA、IGI發出的鑽石證書能否把它視為真實的天然鑽石。
JDC始終認為天然鑽石因其稀有性、獨特性和深厚的文化象徵而備受青睞。它們經過數十億年的自然形成，承載著地球的歷史與自然之美，具有不可取代的情感價值與浪漫意義。此外，天然鑽石在市場上更具保值性，且被視為奢華與傳統的象徵，深受高端品牌和收藏家的青睞。儘管實驗室培育鑽石更具價格優勢和環保特性，但天然鑽石的獨特魅力和與自然的深刻聯繫使其成為許多人心目中的首選。
不過近日HRD Antwerp 宣布將停止為散裝實驗室培育鑽石頒發證書，以專注於天然鑽石，從而強化其作為天然鑽石行業全球中心的地位。此項策略決定旨在明確區分天然與合成鑽石，增強消費者對天然鑽石的信任。
安特衛普世界鑽石中心（AWDC）執行長 Karen Rentmeesters 強調了這項舉措的重要性，她指出，這體現了 HRD Antwerp 力求保護天然鑽石未來的承諾。儘管從 2026 年起實驗室將停止認證散裝實驗室培育鑽石，但仍將繼續為含有合成鑽石的珠寶提供報告，並在有限情況下為研究目的分析合成鑽石。HRD Antwerp 的這項全新舉措鞏固了其作為首個專注於天然鑽石的鑑定實驗室的地位，為全世界消費者提供清晰和信心保障。
Many people have a question: Can lab-grown diamonds and possessing diamond certificates issued by recognized institutions like GIA and IGI qualify them as authentic natural diamonds?
JDC has always believed that natural diamonds are highly valued for their rarity, uniqueness, and profound cultural symbolism. Formed over billions of years, they carry the history of the Earth and the beauty of nature, offering irreplaceable emotional value and romantic significance. Additionally, natural diamonds tend to hold their value better in the market and are regarded as symbols of luxury and tradition, making them favored by high-end brands and collectors. While lab-grown diamonds offer advantages in affordability and environmental sustainability, the unique charm and deep connection to nature make natural diamonds the preferred choice for many.
However, in recent days, HRD Antwerp has announced it will stop issuing certificates for loose lab-grown diamonds to focus solely on natural diamonds, reinforcing its position as a global hub for the natural diamond industry. This strategic decision is aimed at creating a clear distinction between natural and synthetic stones, bolstering consumer trust in natural diamonds.
Karen Rentmeesters, CEO of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), emphasized the significance of this move, noting that it underscores HRD Antwerp’s commitment to safeguarding the future of natural diamonds. While the lab will cease certifying loose lab-grown diamonds starting in 2026, it will continue providing reports for jewelry containing synthetic diamonds and analyzing synthetics in limited cases for research purposes.HRD Antwerp’s renewed focus solidifies its stance as the first grading lab to exclusively champion natural diamonds, ensuring clarity and confidence for consumers worldwide.
