Creating a Sustainable Future Ft. Lab Grown Diamonds

What are Lab-grown diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds have been around since the 1950’s. They were not gem quality and were used for industrial purposes.

Only in the last decade have scientists been able to grow gem-quality diamonds. They are created using advanced technology. This is to precisely imitate the conditions under which mined diamonds are formed in the earth’s mantle. Their chemical structure is characteristic of the diamond crystal structure which is made up of carbon atoms.

The result is a lab-grown diamond that exhibits the same physical, chemical and optical properties as a mined diamond, since they are composed of the same element, under essentially the same conditions.

Are they considered real diamonds?

Yes, Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, sharing the exact same chemical composition, molecular structure, and physical and optical properties - something that cannot be said for any form of diamond simulant or imitation.
