Why Are Lab Created Diamonds Considered Ethical?
Lab grown diamonds are conflict-free, socially responsible, and have a much smaller environmental footprint than mined diamonds. By choosing lab created gems, you're helping to eliminate unethical mining practices and support a more sustainable future.
How Are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?
Lab diamonds are created using two advanced methods that replicate the natural diamond formation process:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
A diamond seed is heated in a sealed chamber and exposed to carbon-rich gases like methane. These gases are ionized into plasma, allowing carbon atoms to deposit and form a new diamond layer by layer.
High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT)
A diamond seed is placed in carbon and subjected to extreme pressure and heat. This melts the carbon and allows a diamond to crystallize around the seed, mimicking the earth’s natural process.
