They're not as valuable as natural diamonds.

它們的價值不如天然鑽石。

They're also not as unique.

他們也沒有那麼獨特。

Diamonds that are mined from the Earth are said to be one of a kind, thanks to the work of nature.

據說從地球上開採出來的鑽石都是獨一無二的，這要感謝大自然的鬼斧神工。

But it's sometimes hard to know where the real ones come from.

但有時很難知道真實的來自哪裡。

If their mind with child labor or if they've been sold to pay for weapons and lab diamonds are a growing part of a valuable market, we have here two stones.

如果他們的心靈與童工或如果他們已經被賣掉支付武器和實驗室鑽石是一個有價值的市場越來越大的一部分，我們這裡有兩個石頭。

Can you tell which one is the lab diamond and which one is the natural?

你能分辨出哪顆是實驗室鑽石，哪顆是天然鑽石嗎？

They truly look identical to me.

他們真的和我長得一模一樣。

Is this the lab grown diamonds here?

這就是這裡的實驗室種植的鑽石嗎？

No, that's the natural.

不，那是自然的。

Really?

真的嗎？

Wow.

哇哦

Okay, you truly can't tell the difference because they're both diamonds.

好吧，你真的看不出區別，因為它們都是鑽石。

So this is where the magic happens.

所以這就是神奇的地方。

This is where you guys grow the diamond.

這就是你們種植鑽石的地方。

This is the diamond mind.

這就是鑽石心態。

How does one grow a diamond?

如何種植鑽石？

We're using a ball of plasma energy and breaking apart hydrocarbon and raining the carbon down on seeds of diamond.

我們正在使用等離子體能量球 分解碳氫化合物，並將碳降到鑽石的種子上。

Adam by Adam growing these diamonds, how long does it take to produce one of these bodies?

亞當由亞當種植這些鑽石，需要多長時間才能生產出一個這樣的身體？

About a month.

大約一個月。

How did you guys get inspired to start this business?

你們是怎麼受到啟發開始做這個生意的？

When Jason and I talked about getting engaged, I said I did not want a natural diamond as part of our engagement.

當Jason和我談起訂婚時，我說我不想要一顆天然鑽石作為我們訂婚的一部分。

Why is that?

為什麼會這樣？

I care about the origin of my products.

我關心我的產品的來源。

I'm a conscientious Cal.

我是一個有良心的加州人。

I care about where my eggs come from, where my products come from.

我關心我的雞蛋從哪裡來，我的產品從哪裡來。

And so we really set out to create a ring that used other materials.

於是我們真的開始創作一款使用其他材料的戒指。

But what we learn through the process was that we wanted tohave the longevity behind a material as strong as durable as diamond.

但通過這個過程，我們瞭解到的是，我們希望擁有像鑽石一樣堅固耐用的材料背後的長壽。

Yeah, Mhm.

是的，嗯

Yeah, mhm.

是啊，嗯。

Natural diamonds tend to change hands 12 to 13 times before they'll end up on someone's finger.

天然鑽石往往要轉手12到13次，才會最終戴在別人的手指上。

Whereas the laboratory grown diamond industry is much more streamlined.

而實驗室種植的鑽石行業則更為精簡。

Growers work with companies like us, and we work with clients.

種植戶與我們這樣的公司合作，我們與客戶合作。

Can you explain to us why mined diamonds are bad for the environment?

你能給我們解釋一下為什麼開採的鑽石對環境有害嗎？

It takes hundreds of tons of rock being blasted out of the earth with diesel in dynamite to extract one carat of diamond.

用機油在炸藥中炸出數百噸的岩石，才能開採出一克拉的鑽石。

And so it's an incredibly energy intensive process, and diamond mining is getting less sustainable every single year.

是以，這是一個令人難以置信的能源密集型過程，鑽石開採的可持續性每年都在下降。

But is the origin story of diamonds.

但是是鑽石的起源故事。

Part of their appeal.

他們吸引力的一部分。

A natural diamond is a miracle of nature, But this is a miracle of human progress, and I find that far more compelling than something that just happened to come out of the earth.

天然鑽石是自然界的奇蹟，但這是人類進步的奇蹟，我覺得這比地球上偶然出現的東西更有說服力。

Why are some of the jeweller's out there so resistant to these lab grown diamonds?

為什麼有些珠寶商對這些實驗室培育的鑽石如此抗拒？

I think there's a lot of misinformation about this product.

我覺得這個產品有很多誤導。

I think some people believe that laboratory grown diamonds means a fake diamond, that it's cubic zirconia or moist tonight that it's some sort of a diamond simulant.

我認為有些人認為實驗室種植的鑽石就是指假鑽石，是立方氧化鋯或今晚潮溼的，是某種鑽石的模擬物。

But laboratory grown diamonds are diamonds.

但實驗室培養的鑽石就是鑽石。

They're really diamonds.

他們真的是鑽石。

They are.

他們是。

There's nothing different.

沒有什麼不同。

There's nothing different except the origin.

除了出身，沒有什麼不同。
