Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
Laboratory Grown Diamonds are identical to mined natural diamonds, except they are man-made in a lab and do not come from the earth. They are identical in their physical, chemical, atomic and optical properties, and are graded with the same 4C's.
Like diamonds mined from the Earth, lab grown diamonds, according to the Federal Trade Commission, are carbon crystallized in the isometric system with a hardness of 10 on the mohs scale, with a specific gravity of 3.52 and a refractive index of 2.42.
That’s a really scientific way of saying: there’s no difference chemically between a mined diamond and a lab grown diamond.
Lab-Grown Diamonds are sustainable, having zero ecological and ethical issues. It takes considerably less energy and resources to grow a diamond in a lab than to dig it out of the Earth.
How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Made?
First, a high quality, lab-grown diamond seed is placed in a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) chamber, or greenhouse.Next, hydrogen is pumped into the chamber and ignited. Methane, which is the source of carbon for diamonds, is introduced, and the diamond is left to grow, layer by layer, for about 12 weeks.After growing, the rough diamond crystal is ready to be cut. Here’s where the skill of the diamond cutter comes into play. Using techniques that have been around for generations, expert diamond cutters cut, facet and polish the gemstones.
That’s it! pretty simple! and, almost every lab grown diamond over is laser inscribed and lab graded, identifying it as lab grown. So they’re less expensive, environmentally friendly and conflict free. Sounds perfect!
