What is a Lab Diamond?

are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes! Lab grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The main difference between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds is their origin. Lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory, while natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle over millions of years.

lab grown diamonds vs natural diamonds

In terms of quality and beauty, lab grown diamonds can be just as stunning and desirable as natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds often have a lower price point compared to natural diamonds, making them a more affordable option for consumers. Unlike natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are guaranteed to be conflict-free, as they are not associated with any unethical practices such as mining in war zones or funding conflicts.

benefits of lab grown diamonds

Lab diamonds have gained popularity due to their ethical sourcing and environmental benefits. The demand for lab grown diamonds in Dallas and other cities is increasing as consumers become more conscious of the origin of their diamonds.

Diamonds made in a lab are generally more affordable, allowing consumers to get larger or higher quality diamonds for their budget. Lab grown diamonds are also ethically sourced, eliminating concerns about supporting unethical diamond mining practices. The production of lab grown diamonds has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to diamond mining, which involves land disturbance, water pollution, and carbon emissions. Choosing lab grown diamonds offers a sustainable and responsible alternative to natural diamonds, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.

how lab grown diamonds are made

Lab grown diamonds are created using two main methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). In the HPHT method, a diamond seed is placed in a chamber and exposed to high pressure and high temperature, allowing carbon atoms to crystallize around the seed and form a diamond. In the CVD method, a diamond seed is placed in a chamber with a carbon-rich gas, which is then heated to high temperatures. The carbon atoms in the gas bond to the diamond seed, layer by layer, resulting in the growth of a diamond.

The process of creating lab grown diamonds can take several weeks to months, depending on the desired size and quality of the diamond. The use of advanced technology and controlled conditions in the laboratory ensures the growth of high-quality diamonds with the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds.

Moissanite or Cubic Zirconia

Lab grown diamonds are different from moissanite and cubic zirconia in terms of their chemical composition and physical properties. Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material. Lab grown diamonds, on the other hand, have the same chemical composition as natural diamonds.

In terms of appearance, lab grown diamonds have a higher refractive index and dispersion compared to moissanite and cubic zirconia, giving them a more diamond-like sparkle. In terms of hardness, lab grown diamonds rank highest with a score of 10 on the Mohs scale, followed by moissanite (9.25) and cubic zirconia (8.5). Lab grown diamonds are also more durable and resistant to scratches compared to moissanite and cubic zirconia.

While moissanite and cubic zirconia can offer a similar aesthetic to diamonds at a lower price point, lab grown diamonds provide the closest match to the physical and chemical properties of natural diamonds. This makes lab grown diamonds a preferred choice for those who want the look and feel of a real diamond without the high price tag.
