LEARN ABOUT SWAROVSKI CREATED DIAMONDS
type iia diamonds
Type iia diamonds are rare!
Less than 2% of all mined diamonds
can be classfied as Type IIa.

A diamond’s crystal structure is formed from a single element: carbon. Typically a diamond is 99.95% pure carbon and 0.05% trace elements, or impurities, that aren’t part of its essential chemistry.

Both Lab-Created and mined diamonds are scientifically classified by “type” The “type” is determined by the level and variety of the chemical impurities present in the diamond crystal.

Type IIa diamonds lack these chemical impuites and they also tend to have fewer inclusions; making them the purest form of diamond available.
