How are Lab-Created Diamonds Made?

To comprehend how lab-generated diamonds are manufactured, it is necessary first to comprehend how naturally-mined diamonds are produced. During billions of years beneath the earth’s surface, pure carbon is subjected to extraordinarily high temperatures and pressures, resulting in the formation of natural diamonds. Centuries of ground movement have brought the diamonds to the earth’s surface, where they are found embedded in enormous chunks of rock. These natural diamonds are mined from the rocks by miners, who then sell them to the general public after being extracted.

The same as with naturally mined diamonds, the procedure for creating lab-grown diamonds begins with applying tremendous heat and pressure to carbon. When a single carbon “seed” (a tiny sliver of a natural diamond or a lab-created diamond) is taken to a lab, it is put through a process designed to mirror the earth’s natural mechanism for making diamonds. The carbon seed is slowly transformed into a crystalline structure by using one of two processes: High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Labs can “create” diamonds that are chemically, physically, and optically identical to diamonds extracted from the earth’s crust using modern technologies.

Can You Tell if a Diamond is Created in a Lab?

Lab-created diamonds are almost impossible to tell apart from natural diamonds. It’s impossible for someone who isn’t trained to tell if you have an artificial diamond. Even many jewelers can’t tell the difference without doing a lot of tests. To ensure that lab-grown diamonds don’t get mixed up with natural diamonds, jewelers have to put laser inscriptions on the diamond’s girdle, the outside edge.

Are Lab-Grown & Mined Diamonds the Same?

Despite their reduced cost, lab-grown diamonds are inferior to mined diamonds in terms of quality or durability. Natural diamonds are also referred to as mined diamonds in some circles. Synthetic diamonds are more cost-efficient than natural diamonds since the makers can avoid the expense of long supply chains. Because there are no mining costs associated with this sustainable alternative, there is no need to sacrifice style or radiance when choosing this option.

Diamonds made in a laboratory are identical in look and structure to diamonds mined from the earth. They feature an internal structure that is nearly equal to that of genuine diamonds and hardness and durability. How the stones reflect light is also identical from one to the next.

Lab-grown diamonds, often known as ethical diamonds, are verified in the same way as mined diamonds are, using the same system and standards. So, much like natural diamonds, they are assessed individually according to the four Cs — carat, cut, clarity, and color – to determine their value.

FAQ

ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS REAL DIAMONDS?

Lab Grown Diamonds and Mined Diamonds are identical. They are physically, chemically, and optically the same.

ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS ETHICAL?

All our lab diamonds are ethically made and sustainable. They are naturally eco-conscious and conflict-free Diamonds, making them the only truly ethical diamonds on the market around the world.

ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS VALUABLE ?

Lab-created diamonds are less valuable than natural diamonds. A natural diamond isn’t going to appreciate much in value unless it’s a rare investment diamond with a high grade, clarity

The value of lab-grown diamonds is less than mined diamonds which makes it a great choice to create the ring of your dreams without the high traditional price tag of mined diamonds which includes high costs of operating mines, investors, diamond cutters, and wholesalers before reaching the public.

At Lab Grown Diamonds Australia we also provide the opportunity to trade in your lab-grown diamond and you can upgrade for larger or better quality. Contact us for further details and the costs involved.
