Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic or cultured diamonds, are created using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process. These diamonds are made in a controlled environment and have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds.
How Are Lab Diamonds Made?
Lab diamonds are created through two primary methods:
1) High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT): This process mimics the Earth's natural conditions by applying intense heat and pressure to carbon, forming a diamond.
2) Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Carbon atoms are deposited onto a diamond seed in a high-temperature chamber, gradually building up the diamond layer by layer.
