What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in a controlled laboratory environment, replicating the natural process of diamond formation. These diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds and are virtually indistinguishable without specialized equipment.

There are two primary methods to create lab-grown diamonds:
High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT):
Mimics the natural formation of diamonds by applying high pressure and temperature to a carbon seed.
Results in high-quality diamonds with exceptional brilliance.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD):
Uses a carbon-rich gas to deposit layers of carbon atoms onto a diamond seed.Produces diamonds with precise control over their size and quality.
