What Are Diamonds Grown In A Lab?
Lab-Grown Diamonds are created from a single diamond seed under the same heat and pressure as the earth's crust, just like test-tube newborns. They do not leave a mining scar on the land, making them environmentally benign. This category has gained popularity on a global scale since they do not carry the stigma associated with blood diamonds. Most importantly, they are more uniform and less expensive than diamonds that are mined from the earth.
Since they frequently cost less and can have the same beauty and qualities as mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are rapidly gaining popularity as an option for many individuals. Buy a stone with a GIA Diamond Report to be sure of the diamond's identification and quality whether you're thinking about a lab-grown or natural stone.
What Are The Advantages Of A Diamond Grown In A Lab?
These man-made diamonds are becoming more and more popular every day for a number of reasons. The advantages that eco diamonds have over their natural counterparts are outlined below.
Greater purity and better performance
Assurance of source and guilt-free construction
Inexpensive diamonds in a range of hues
Sustainable and favorable to the environment
How Are Diamonds Made In A Lab Certified And Graded?
A gemological lab that specializes in grading diamonds receives the diamonds. Most of these labs employ the 4cs (cut, clarity, color, and carat; we'll talk more about those later) to determine grades, but a select handful also applies their own standards.
The top diamond certification laboratories are:
Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
Antwerp World Diamond Center (AWDC)
American Gem Society (AGS)
International Gemological Institute (IGI)
Gemological Science International (GSI)
Difference Between Lab-Grown And Earth–Mined Diamonds
In contrast to man-made diamonds, which were first created in a laboratory in the 1950s and are suited for industrial use, natural diamonds developed deep under the earth under conditions of great pressure and high temperature as long ago as three billion years ago.
Due to the fact that they are far cheaper than genuine diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are becoming more and more popular for use in engagement rings and fine jewelry.
There are a few inclusions in lab diamonds with lower clarity that don't appear in natural diamonds.
Nobody will be able to tell that your diamond was developed in a lab since lab-grown diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to diamonds that are grown on the earth.
