Lab Grown Diamonds vs Natural Diamonds – 2023

Lab grown diamonds (also known as lab diamonds, cultured diamonds, and engineered diamonds) are diamonds created in a lab under intense heat and pressure – the same conditions as naturally mined diamonds from the Earth. There are no differences between lab created diamonds and their natural diamond counterparts. You can find lab grown diamonds in a range of shapes, sizes, colors, and cuts, just like mined diamonds. Whether you prefer the classic round shape or something more unique like pink, yellow, or blue, lab-created diamonds shine brilliantly and make stunning additions to any engagement ring setting. Book Appointment Diamonds have long held a special place in human culture and society. These exquisite gemstones, known for their brilliance and rarity, have been sought after for centuries. Traditionally, natural diamonds have been the go-to choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry. However, with advances in technology, lab-grown diamonds have emerged as a compelling alternative. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of diamonds, comparing lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds across various aspects, including their origins, environmental impact, quality, and affordability. Origin Lab-Grown Diamonds: Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, are created in controlled laboratory environments using two primary methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). In HPHT, a diamond seed is exposed to high pressure and temperature to grow into a larger diamond. In CVD, a diamond seed is placed in a chamber with carbon-rich gas, allowing carbon atoms to accumulate on the seed and form a diamond over time. While lab-grown diamonds are not technically “natural,” they share the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds. Natural Diamonds: Natural diamonds, often referred to as “mined diamonds,” are formed deep within the Earth’s mantle under extreme heat and pressure over billions of years. They are then brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions, creating what we know as diamond mines. The rarity and natural formation process contribute to the allure and high value of natural diamonds.
