What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds (also known as lab-created diamonds, man-made diamonds, engineered diamonds, and cultured diamonds) are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust. These lab-created diamonds are carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. Since they are made of the same material as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same optical and chemical properties.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
Natural and lab-grown diamonds are identical to the naked eye. Most experts can’t even tell them apart without specialized equipment. Ultimately, the main difference is how they’re created. Learn more to understand which diamond type suits your style.
Lab-grown diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. However, lab-created diamonds may exhibit different trace elements than natural diamonds that do not affect the appearance of the diamond. Lab-created diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds only with tests using specialized equipment.
Lab Grown Diamond Benefits
Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent alternative to mined diamonds. Not only are they physically identical, but they’re also sourced responsibly and are more cost-effective. Some of the biggest advantages of a lab-created diamond include:
- Fewer defects
- Greater affordability
- Colors that are rarely found in nature can be created, making unique and coveted pieces more obtainable
- Trackable origin sources allow us to source diamonds from reputable places that don’t engage in poor treatment of workers or communities
- HPHT and CVD lab grown diamond methods make it easier to keep up with demand without sacrificing quality or engaging in harmful processes
