What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds—composed of pure carbon and identical to earth-mined diamonds in their chemical, physical, and optical properties. These diamonds are created in highly controlled laboratory environments that replicate the intense heat and pressure conditions found deep within the Earth’s mantle. Using advanced methods such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT), carbon atoms are gradually layered into a crystalline structure, resulting in a diamond that is virtually indistinguishable from its natural counterpart. Each lab-grown diamond is graded and certified using the same standards applied to earth-mined stones by leading gemological institutes. With origins rooted in innovation, lab-grown diamonds offer a modern, sustainable, and often more affordable alternative—without compromising on brilliance or beauty.
