Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon neutrality refers to the practice of offsetting the carbon emissions associated with a product or activity by investing in projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Offsetting your lab-grown diamonds with Clear Neutral allows you to reduce the carbon footprint of your products and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and the environment.

The benefits of using Clear Neutral include third-party verification of the carbon-neutral status of your lab-grown diamonds, a statement of authenticity in the form of a certificate, and the ability to effectively communicate your commitment to sustainability to your customers.

To offset your lab-grown diamonds with Clear Neutral, you will need to provide information about the carbon emissions associated with their production and purchase renewable energy credits to offset those emissions. Clear Neutral will verify the offsets and provide certification upon completion.

Offsetting works by investing in projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby counterbalancing the emissions associated with a product or activity.

You can confirm that your lab-grown diamonds are properly offset with Clear Neutral by requesting a copy of the certification issued as part of our program.

The consequences of not offsetting your lab-grown diamonds with Clear Neutral may include a larger carbon footprint for your products and a lack of transparency about the environmental impact of their production.

Clear Neutral currently only offsets lab-grown diamonds.

You can confirm that your diamond has been offset by requesting a copy of the certification issued as part of a carbon offset program.

CVD diamonds, or chemical vapour deposition diamonds, are lab-grown diamonds produced using a chemical vapour deposition process to deposit thin layers of carbon atoms onto a substrate, which are then transformed into a diamond crystal.

HPHT diamonds, or high-pressure high-temperature diamonds, are lab-grown diamonds produced using a high-pressure, high-temperature process to convert a small diamond seed crystal into a larger diamond crystal.

Offsetting your diamond allows you to reduce the carbon footprint of your purchase and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and the environment.

Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that are created in a laboratory setting rather than mined from the earth.

The benefits of lab-grown diamonds include a lower environmental impact, a more ethical and transparent production process, and potentially lower costs compared to mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds can be ethically sourced, as they do not rely on destructive mining practices or the potential for human rights abuses associated with the diamond industry.

Consumers should buy lab-grown diamonds that are offset by Clear Neutral to support a more sustainable and ethical alternative to mined diamonds and to ensure that their purchase has minimal environmental impact.
