Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds: A Side-by-Side Comparison

How are Lab Diamonds Made?

Diamonds grown in labs are created by two sophisticated methods that mimic the natural diamond-forming process:

1. High Pressure High Temperature:
   This technique simulates the extreme pressure and heat located deep within the Earth and transforms carbon into diamond-like crystals.

2. Chemical Vapor Deposition:
   A diamond's seed is put inside a chamber in which carbon-rich gases break down by depositing carbon atoms layer upon layer to form the diamond.

Professional jewelers need specialized equipment to distinguish them.

The certificates also include information about the cutting clarity and color of the diamond as well as the carat weight and the lab source.
