Shopping for a beautiful stone for your loved one? Consider lab-grown diamonds as a unique and luxurious alternative. Lab-grown diamonds, or engineered diamonds, are made in laboratories. A common question people ask regarding lab-grown diamonds are if they’re actually real.
Well, contrary to popular belief — yes, they are.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
The only difference between natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds is their origin; chemically, they are the same. While natural diamonds form below the surface of the earth, lab-grown diamonds follow the same natural growing process in a controlled laboratory environment using cutting edge technology. If you’re on the hunt for a natural, beautiful diamond ring, you can rest assured knowing out lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically the same as natural grown diamonds.
How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds…Grown?
Diamond labs use two growing methods: high pressure-high temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Natural diamonds are grown under conditions of intense heat of nearly 2,000 degrees, and pressure. This combination creates carbon atoms, which begin to form crystals. Similarly, lab-grown diamonds contain the same carbon element, as well as high pressure and temperature that is conducive to diamond growth.
