What is a Lab-Created Diamond?Lab-created diamonds, also known as synthetic or cultured diamonds, are gemstones made in a lab under controlled conditions that replicate the natural processes of diamond formation. They have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds. How Are Lab-Created Diamonds Made?Lab-created diamonds are made using two main methods: - High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): Mimics the high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth to form diamonds.
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Uses a carbon-rich gas in a vacuum to create diamond crystals layer by layer.
Are Lab-Created Diamonds Real?Yes, lab-created diamonds are real diamonds. They are graded on the same 4 Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—as natural diamonds.
