Diamonds
Lab-created diamonds have been growing in popularity in recent years and for good reason. They offer all the beauty of natural diamonds, but at a fraction of the price.
Why should you choose lab-grown diamonds?
Are Lab Grown, Man-made, Synthetic Diamonds Real?
“They are real diamonds. They have the same optical, chemical, thermal, and physical features.”
Matthew Hall, Director, Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
In fact, they are essentially identical to natural diamonds in every way except for their origin. Lab grown diamonds are created using advanced technological processes that mimic the conditions under which natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth.
Lab-created diamonds are graded at the same laboratory as natural diamonds such as GIA and IGI.
What is the difference between a laboratory-created diamond and a natural diamond?
A laboratory-created diamond is a man-made diamond that has the same physical, chemical and optical properties as a natural diamond. The main difference between the two is that lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment, while natural diamonds are formed over millions of years deep within the Earth’s crust.
How are Lab Grown Diamonds made?
Lab grown diamonds are made in one of two ways: high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
HPHT
In the HPHT method, a small diamond seed is placed in a chamber with carbon and a metal catalyst, usually iron. The chamber is then placed under high pressure and temperature, which causes the carbon atoms to attach themselves to the seed diamond and grow it.
CVD
In the CVD method, a small diamond seed is placed in a chamber with carbon-containing gas, such as methane. A plasma arc is then used to heat the chamber until the carbon atoms break away from the gas and attach themselves to the seed diamond, growing it.
What is the Difference Between CVD and HPHT Diamonds?
So, what is the difference between CVD and HPHT diamonds? CVD diamonds are created through chemical vapour deposition, while HPHT diamonds are created through a process of high pressure, and high temperature. Both methods can create synthetic diamonds, but HPHT diamonds are more likely to be of higher quality.
Should I Get a Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring?
Lab grown diamonds are diamonds created in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth. Because they are created in a controlled environment, man-made diamonds can offer some benefits over natural diamonds. For example, they can be more affordable and less likely to have impurities or inclusions.
Of course, whether or not a grown diamond engagement ring is right for you is a personal decision. Some people may prefer the traditional idea of a natural diamond, while others may be more drawn to an eco-friendly and more affordable ring. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what type of engagement ring best suits your needs and budget.
If you’re still unsure whether a grown diamond engagement ring is right for you, we suggest talking to a jeweller who can help you weigh the pros and cons. They can also show you some beautiful lab grown diamond engagement rings to help you decide.
