Lab Grown Diamonds

It is one of the primary methods used to create lab grown diamonds. This process mimics the extreme heat and pressure conditions found at Earth’s core. It is a thermodynamic process in which a diamond seed is placed in a specialized press containing pure carbon.

The growth chamber is then subjected to pressures above 870,000 pounds/square inch and heat ranging from 1300 to 1600 Degrees Celsius. It results in carbon melting and attaching to the diamond in 14 varied directions, creating a rough diamond.

It is a relatively newer, economical, and sustainable method of producing lab grown diamonds.

It uses a specialized vacuum chamber filled with carbon-heavy gases, which, when heated to around 800-1,000 Degrees Celsius, turn into plasma, releasing tiny bits of carbon pieces.

These carbon pieces form layers onto the diamond seed, growing a diamond. The CVD Process produces extremely rare Type IIA diamonds, and at Donj Jewellery we follow this method to produce high-quality lab grown diamonds.

Depending on the color, clarity, and carat size, it usually takes around a month’s time to grow lab made diamonds. Once fully formed, they are then cut and polished to be set on a piece of jewelry or sold as loose diamonds.

To the naked eye, one can’t tell apart between lab grown and mined diamonds. It is because they look the same and have the same chemical composition as well as physical and optical properties.

We use the same grading standards as natural diamonds. Each stone comes with a certificate detailing its cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. This raises another question – do lab grown diamonds pass a diamond tester? The answer is YES!

Both lab diamond and earth-mined diamonds score 10 on Mohs Scale, and perfectly pass a diamond tester.

The value of a diamond is measured internationally through the 4Cs of diamond quality, which are cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Each of these characteristics is measured and graded in a specific way and recorded in the grading report. It’s important to review this information when you buy lab diamonds to ensure you’re getting the best quality.
