What is the difference between lab-grown diamonds, natural diamonds and ''Gang Wayz lab-created gems''?
Lab-grown diamonds are like natural diamonds, but they are created using special techniques. It is important to note that the difference between conventional laboratory diamonds, considered as"more expensive", and the ''Gang Wayz lab-created gems'' lies among other things in their hardness and also in their shine. In fact, the former have a hardness of 10/10, identical to that of natural diamonds on the Mohs scale, while gems of Gang Wayz have a slightly lower hardness of 9.5/10, one relatively insignificant difference in terms of resistance. As for the shine of' 'Gang Wayz lab-created gems'', they are even slightly brighter than natural/lab diamonds with a result of 2.62 versus 2.42 for natural or laboratory diamonds !
Why are ''Gang Wayz lab-created gems'' more affordable?
This slight difference in hardness does not signify a reduction in quality. In fact, with the collaboration of moissanite partner factories, we have successfully enhanced our moissanite to make it slightly harder. By adopting production methods that are both faster and more economical than those used for 10/10 Mohs laboratory diamonds—which are notably more expensive.
By optimizing the manufacturing process, we offer gems that combine accessibility, beauty, purity and durability. Our customers can thus enjoy the splendor and brilliance characteristic of natural gemstones without compromising their budget. They have the opportunity to wear a beautiful, sparkling and ethical gem that they can be proud of.
Precious gems such as ruby, diamond, Sapphire and emerald exhibit significant differences in hardness and luster due to their compositions.
-
''Gang Wayz lab-created gems'' : Although the stone is made in a laboratory, with a value of approximately 9.50 on the Mohs scale, it is an extremely hard and resistant stone. Presenting a remarkable luster, similar to that of diamonds at 2.62 versus 2.42 for natural diamonds.
-
Diamond: Diamond is made of pure crystalline carbon, arranged in a cubic structure. It is the hardest mineral, obtaining a 10 on the Mohs scale. The exceptional hardness of the diamond contributes to its brilliance.
-
Moissanite: Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars, originally discovered in meteor craters. It is composed of silicon carbide (SiC) and is known for its dazzling brilliance and fire, which often exceeds that of diamond. On the Mohs scale, moissanite ranks at 9.25-9.50, making it one of the hardest substances on Earth.
-
Sapphire: Sapphire belongs to the corundum family, just like ruby, it can be available in different colors, with the exception of red, which is reserved for ruby. On the Mohs scale, sapphire also scores a 9 in terms of hardness. Its shine can vary depending on its color, but it is generally high.
-
Ruby: Ruby is a variety of corundum, a mineral composed of aluminum oxide. It obtains its vibrant red color from the presence of chromium impurities. On the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, ruby ranks at 9, which makes it a very hard stone. However, its brilliance is not as high as that of diamond nor '' Gang wayz Lab created gems''.
-
Emerald: Emerald is a variety of beryl, composed of aluminum silicate and beryllium. Although emerald is relatively hard, with a value of approximately 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, it is more prone to inclusions and fractures, which can affect its luster. Its luster is often described as glassy.
-
Zircon: While we personally find this stone unattractive and a bit ridiculous, and would rather go without jewelry than wear it, we still feel it's worth explaining its hardness and composition. Comprised of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4), its composition contributes to its relatively low Mohs hardness score of approximately 6.5. Additionally, it often contains traces of uranium, thorium, and sometimes hafnium.
Mineral Hardness (Mohs)
Diamond 10
Gang Wayz Lab-created gems/ 9.50
Moissanite 9.25-9.50
Sapphire 9
Ruby 9
Emerald 7.5 - 8
Zircon ~6.5
In conclusion, the hardness and luster of gems depend on various factors, such as their chemical composition, crystal structure, and the presence of impurities. Each gemstone has its own unique characteristics that contribute to its aesthetic appeal and value in the gem market.

How is it even possible to enhance Moissanite?The enhancement in the hardness of moissanite involves advanced materials engineering techniques. Moissanite, comprising silicon carbide (SiC), a mineral known for its hardness and brilliance, has seen improvements to become a preferred diamond alternative. The methods employed by the company to increase the hardness include: -Enhanced Material Purity: Through refining the synthesis process, the company increased the purity of silicon carbide crystals, minimizing impurities that could compromise structural integrity and thereby elevating overall hardness. -Optimized Crystal Growth and Orientation: By altering the synthesis process to influence crystal growth, the company optimized crystal orientation to align them in the hardest configuration, consequently enhancing hardness. -Doping: The introduction of minute quantities of other elements during crystal growth, a process known as doping, modified silicon carbide properties, including hardness.
