How are lab grown diamonds made ?

Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form over billions of years beneath the Earth's surface. There are two primary methods for creating lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).

HPHT

High Pressure High Temperature

Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form over billions of years beneath the Earth's surface. There are two primary methods for creating lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).

CVD

Chemical Vapor Deposition

The CVD process starts with a thin slice of diamond seed, which is placed in a sealed chamber and heated to around 800°C (about 1,472°F). The chamber is filled with a gas that contains carbon, such as methane, and other gases. When the gases are activated, typically by a microwave source, the molecular bonds of the gases break, and pure carbon adheres to the diamond seed, gradually forming a diamond layer by layer. This process can take several weeks, depending on the desired size and quality of the diamond.

4 C’s Of A Lab Grown Diamond

Cut

The cut of a diamond determines its proportions, symmetry, and polish, which directly influence its brilliance, fire, and overall beauty.

Carat

Carat weight measures the size of a diamond, with one carat equivalent to 200 milligrams. Larger diamonds generally have higher values, but other factors such as cut, color, and clarity also influence a diamond's worth.

Color

The color grading of a diamond evaluates the absence of color, with the highest grade given to diamonds that are completely colorless. The color scale ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

Clarity

Diamonds with fewer and smaller inclusions receive higher clarity grades, with the scale ranging from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification) to Included (inclusions visible to the naked eye).

Diamond Certification

Lab grown diamonds undergo a grading and certification system just like mined stones. These are graded by independent diamond certification labs based on their cut, clarity, color, and carat (the 4C’s). The Ingenuity Diamonds’ lab created diamonds are certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI).

IGI

The IGI Diamond Certificate, issued by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), is a document that provides a detailed analysis of a diamond's characteristics and quality.
