GOLGA AUREUM LACRIMA

Not a substitute, but a diamond in the fullest sense of the word. Born of pure carbon under the same heat and pressure that forge one in the heart of the earth, mastered this time by human hands in weeks instead of a billion years. Identical to a mined diamond in chemistry, hardness and light, indistinguishable even under a gemologist's loupe. Yet with no mine torn open and no hand exploited, traceable from the first atom. Set in solid 18kt gold, it is the same wound you already wear in silver, cast this time in light. Always declared as created in a laboratory.

Diamond colour runs from D, perfectly colourless and the rarest, down to Z, visibly yellow. Yours is D–F: the colourless tier, the whitest a diamond gets. The less colour, the more light passes through it.

Clarity measures the tiny natural marks inside the stone, its inclusions. VVS means Very, Very Slightly included: flaws so minute they are invisible to the naked eye and barely visible even under a 10× loupe. Almost perfectly clean.

Carat is the diamond's weight, not its size (1 carat = 0.2 grams). More carat, more presence.

Broken Hearts selects its lab-grown diamonds already in the D–F, VVS range, directly from chosen suppliers. On small-carat stones no individual certificate exists, in any jeweller: quality is guaranteed by the selection at the source, not by a piece of paper.
