Lab Created Diamonds Description

While natural diamonds take tens to hundreds of millions of years to form deep in the Earth, lab grown diamonds made in a lab can take as little as a few weeks. At present, there are two main ways to make lab grown diamonds.
One is high pressure and high temperature. During diamond cultivation, the pure toner is compressed into a growth capsule, which is then placed in a culture chamber, day after day, at a pressure of 5-6 gpa and extremely high temperatures (up to 1,300-1,600 °C). Eventually the carbon atoms join together to form a diamond crystal. Many rough diamonds with large grains of more than 10 carats can be produced in one go in less than two weeks.
The other is chemical vapor deposition. Breeding process of chemical vapor deposition method is a diamond chip to be placed in a vacuum box, and then in the chamber filled with a mixture of hydrogen and methane gas, the gas provides a carbon atom, under the pressure of certain heating, until the gasification of carbon atoms on the thin layers and layers of sedimentary, like rain, forming uniform diamond coating. It takes nearly a month to grow a cut 1-carat CVD diamond crystal.
Both natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds are pure carbon crystals, which are identical in physical properties, chemical properties, crystal structure and optical properties. However, due to the different formation conditions, the nature of natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds are also different. The formation temperatures of natural diamond crystals are similar to those of lab-grown diamonds. However, natural diamonds grow into octahedral (eight equilateral triangular faces) crystals, while lab-grown diamond crystals can contain both octahedral and cubic (six square faces) crystals (HPHT) and plate-like crystals (CVD).

Characteristics Of Lab Created Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically and structurally identical to mined diamonds. What does that mean?

From a scientific point of view, cultivated diamonds are exactly the same as natural diamonds, the only difference being where they are formed.
