What are lab grown diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds, also known as created or synthetic diamonds, are genuine diamonds created in a lab using cutting-edge technology. These diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, making them virtually indistinguishable.
The creation process involves two primary methods: High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Both techniques replicate the natural diamond formation process but in a controlled environment. Stunning lab grown diamonds that are not only more affordable but also environmentally friendly. By choosing lab grown diamonds, you are opting for a sustainable and cost-effective alternative without compromising on beauty or quality.
