About Lab grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are the next big thing in the Jewellery world that is gaining persistent importance on all fronts. The key feature of a lab-created diamond is its potential to be available in all seasons as they are generated in labs that do not need a certain environment for their growth. The labs also have the ability to produce a diamond manually. Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds, cultured diamonds, or man-made diamonds, are diamonds that are produced in a laboratory using methods that mimic the natural geological processes. Unlike natural diamonds, which are formed over millions of years under extreme pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust, lab-grown diamonds are created in a matter of weeks or months under controlled conditions. Despite this difference in formation time, the chemical structure, physical properties, and appearance of lab-grown diamonds are identical to those of mined diamonds. The global diamond industry is traditionally dominated by natural diamonds, which are considered rare and valuable due to their long formation process and scarcity. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are produced in a controlled environment, allowing them to be manufactured on-demand. As a result, lab-grown diamonds are often more affordable than natural diamonds, making them an attractive option for consumers who want the beauty and luxury of a diamond without the high price tag. Lab-grown diamonds are generally more affordable than natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are made in a controlled environment, using less water and energy compared to traditional mining methods. A key feature that is of crucial importance is that the seed for all lab grown diamonds comes from natural rough diamonds which results in lab grown diamonds being exactly the same chemically as natural diamonds.

One of the biggest advantages of lab-grown diamonds is their lower environmental impact compared to mined diamonds. Diamond mining requires large-scale excavation, deforestation, and water usage, while lab-grown diamonds can be made with minimal land disturbance and energy usage. Additionally, many manufacturers use renewable energy in the production process. Consumers can feel confident that their purchase is free from these concerns, as lab-grown diamonds are produced in a controlled, traceable environment. Lab-grown diamonds are gaining popularity, especially among younger consumers who are more concerned about sustainability and ethics. The lab-grown diamond market has grown rapidly in recent years, with sales increasing significantly due to their lower prices compared to natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are seen as a more affordable and ethical alternative, particularly for engagement rings, which often require high-quality diamonds. A major area of innovation in the lab-grown diamond industry is the drive to create more sustainable and energy-efficient methods of production.

Diamond formation

• Natural diamonds
  

  Diamond are formed 125-400 km below the earth’s surface under atmospheric pressure 50 thousand times more than that on the earth’s surface. The atmosphere is the result of prevalent geological conditions.

• Lab grown diamonds
  

  Using CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure and High Temperature) processes, its is now possible to replicate the high pressure and temperature required to grow diamonds in labs.

• Properties and Certification
  

  A grown diamond has the same optical, physical and chemical properties as a mined diamond with the point of origin being the only differentiation. The grown diamonds fulfils parameters of all the major lab certification in the world, like GIA and IGI.
