Lab Diamonds FAQ
–Can a Jeweler tell if a diamond is lab grown?
No. By sight alone, a jeweler cannot conclusively identify a diamond as being lab sourced or mined.
Lab Grown diamonds are naturally occurring carbon that are treated under exceptionally high temperature and pressure conditions using the machinery in a confined laboratory. They are as natural as mined diamonds with the exception of the weathering that occurs in a lab as opposed to nature.
Lab grown diamonds, also loosely called synthetic diamonds, are cut and polished to the same specifications as mined diamonds and are graded against the 4C’s of diamond certification (Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat) as well.
Albeit there are certain minute differences between a lab grown diamond and its mined counterpart, to the naked eye of a jeweler or even an experienced gemologist, they both look exactly the same.
Field experts need specialized equipment to decipher the physical and spectral differences between the mined and lab sourced diamonds.
–Do lab grown diamonds last long?
Yes. Best quality Lab grown diamonds may last for generations.
A Diamond is forever. This iconic catchphrase by De Beers is as true for lab-grown diamonds as that for mined diamonds.
Diamonds, be it man-made (i.e. lab-grown) or mined, are composed of crystalline carbon. Technically speaking, in a diamond, the carbon undergoes treatment under extremely high temperature and pressure and forms carbon to carbon tetravalent bonds. In these bonds, the molecules are aligned at such close proximity that it is next to impossible to break them. This makes them immensely durable and practically indestructible.
A ranking tool called the Mohs scale is used to rate the strength of gems and other stones. By strength, we mean the ability to withstand breakage and to avoid cracks. The scale ranks the stones in the order of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest.
Diamonds( both lab sourced and mined) are ranked at the highest position of 10 on the Mohs scale.
Rest assured, you may pass on lab sourced diamond jewelry over to the generations to come as a cherished family heirloom.
–Do Lab diamonds look different?
To the naked eye, lab diamonds look exactly the same as the mined ones to even the most trained and experienced jewelers and gemologists.
Why is that? It is because lab and mined diamonds are both essentially the same chemical compound of carbon. Only difference being that mined diamonds are weathered under extreme natural conditions while lab diamonds are cultured under the same conditions within the confines of a laboratory.
Further processing of lab sourced diamonds are similar to those of mined diamonds.They are also graded to the globally accepted standards of 4C’s (Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat) as that of mined diamonds.
It takes specialized tools and equipment to state with 100% surety that the diamond under inspection is a lab sourced one.
They shine, sparkle and maintain their luster for years on end and require as low maintenance as mined diamonds to keep up their radiance.
–What is high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT)?
Natural carbon transforms in nature under extremely high temperatures (approx. 2200 deg F) and high pressure (approx. 720k pounds/sq. inch) to form an unpolished diamond.
Lab diamonds emulate the similar High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) settings from that of the earth’s core within the closed and safe confines of a laboratory to transform from a regular natural carbon.
This process transforms the naturally brownish color of the diamond into a long lasting paler white color and thus enhancing its sparkle and beauty.
After further processing, this HPHT treated diamond enters the market at a fraction of the cost making it affordable to one and all.
These diamonds are also GIA certified for all authentic diamond markers (4Cs) and identified as HPHT diamonds when they enter the market.
–What are the humanitarian benefits of CVD diamonds?
Lab sourced diamonds or CVD diamonds are the most ecological and ethical sourced diamonds for reasons that are cited below
- Lab sourced diamonds are naturally occurring carbon that is conditioned under high temperature and pressure in a laboratory making them easily available and not having to be mined under intense and detrimental working conditions.
- There is an issue of blood diamonds being used to fund military operations in war zones as per reports. The concern is totally nullified with the use of lab-manufactured diamonds.
- Several miners put their life and health in dire danger to mine natural diamonds and suffer from long-term side effects from the same. This concern is a moot point here as lab diamonds are sourced in the safe confines of a laboratory.
- Mining diamonds consume upwards of 120 gallons of water per carat as against lab diamonds’ 18 gallons saving the world water.
–Do Lab created diamonds get cloudy?
No. Lab created diamonds, like mined diamonds do not get cloudy ever.
Lab created diamonds or CVD Diamonds are nothing but naturally available carbon that is converted into a diamond under extreme conditions in a laboratory. There is a very popular misnomer that lab sourced diamonds are similar to Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite. That however is not true. Zirconia and Moissanite are created from Zirconium Dioxide and meteors respectively and do not have the superior properties of natural crystalline carbon.
There could however, be a buildup of dirt, dust, oil and other particles if the jewelry is not cared for and cleaned properly from time to time.
A frequent soak of the diamond jewelry in warm soapy water and brushed clean with a mild toothbrush will ensure that the stone and jewelry remain as sparkly and as spectacularly lustrous as the day you purchased them.
–Are lab grown diamonds as good as natural diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are, in all certainty, as good if not better than natural diamonds.
Actually, technically speaking, lab grown diamonds are natural diamonds. They are created from the carbon that is freely available in nature and treated to extremely high temperature (approx. 2200 deg F) and high pressure (approx. 720k pounds/sq. inch) to form an unpolished diamond. These temperature and pressure numbers are similar to those that the earth imposes on a piece of carbon at a few hundred miles below its surface.
Apart from the fact that lab grown diamonds are not mined from the earth,
- They are visually, optically and structurally the same as mined diamonds.
- They possess the exact same strength and are as robust as mined diamonds.
- They are processed further to perfectly match the exacting specifications outlined for mined diamonds.
- They are graded against the same 4Cs of diamond certification
- They cannot be distinguished from their mined counterparts even by the most experienced jeweler or gemologist by sight alone.
- They can be put through the same amount of wear and tear as the mined ones and would remain unblemished and as good as new.
In conclusion, lab grown diamonds are more ethically sourced and are more ecologically sourced natural diamonds than mined ones.
–Are lab diamonds GIA certified?
Certainly Yes. Lab diamonds are certified by GIA.
The minute structural and molecular level differences that occur in mined and lab-sourced diamonds are studied in-depth and differentiated in the highly equipped laboratory at GIA.
The analysis and grading body has been grading lab-made diamonds since 2006. Their reports conclusively highlight the source of the diamond and give a thorough evaluation of the color and clarity of the said diamonds.
Additionally, GIA also inscribes the lab diamond’s girdle with the information that the stone in question is man-made. It does this only for those diamonds that are verified and graded in their labs.
–What is Chemical Vapour Decomposition?
Chemical Vapour Deposition is one of the most evolved and recently developed processes of making diamonds. The process as the name suggests involves using chemical vapour deposits to grow diamonds. In a small chamber, a diamond seed is placed which is exposed to a combination of gases. These gasses are then subjected to an energy source that forces these gases to condense and eventually deposit on the preexisting diamond seed. There are various versions of the chemical vapour deposition process like Low-Pressure CVD, Ultra-high vacuum CVD, Plasma enhanced CVD and Microwave Plasma Vapour Deposition.
–Are Lab grown Diamonds available in different colors?
Lab grown diamonds come in a variety of colors too. Apart from white, lab sourced diamonds may have yellow, blue, green, pink, purple, dark gray, bright red colors.
When certain bioavailable carbon gets trapped (either in nature or in a lab)under intensely high heat and pressure, it gets converted into a diamond. A crystalline, pale, translucent stone. With processing, it turns into this shiny little precious stone that attracts every eye in the tristate area.
Science is simply marvelous! Why do you ask? Because, how ever would we get lab diamonds otherwise making the slogan “Diamonds are for everyone” fathomable! Also, because, it is nothing but chemical reactions between elements of nature that gives rise to coloured diamonds.
Carbon molecules that get transformed into diamonds are sometimes not purely carbon. Certain other elements like Nitrogen, boron etc. enter the carbon while in nature. When light strikes such diamonds, the other elements in them reflect a different hue back giving us a glimpse of another color.
Additionally, gemologists now have the technology to infuse color into lab diamonds. This makes for a deeper and richer color making colored diamonds enthusiasts’ around the world very happy and making otherwise expensive colored diamonds affordable by a large margin.
We at Loose Grown Diamonds offer the following range of colored lab-grown diamonds:
Yellow or Orange and Brown lab grown diamonds:
Lab diamonds with nitrogen in them are yellow and at times pale orange in color.
Blue lab grown diamonds:
When the carbon transformed into a lab diamond had traces of boron in it, the diamond is pale blue in color.
Pink lab grown diamonds:
It is speculated that the variations in the pressure levels on parts of the carbon may vary the molecular bonds in them to give out a beautiful pale pink hue and at times, a pale red color.
Green lab grown diamonds:
Exposure to nature’s typical gamma radiation causes these diamonds to give out a green color.
Violet lab grown diamonds:
These diamonds are considered to be an extension of the blue lab grown diamonds where there is an involvement of the element hydrogen as well. The intensity of the color varies with the concentration of hydrogen present.
Grey to pale black lab grown diamonds:
This again is considered to be an extension of blue diamonds. The colors gray and black are said to be influenced by the structural distortions wrought onto the diamond’s molecular structure owing to radiation exposure.
White lab grown diamonds:
Made from almost pure carbon with very mild traces of other elements, white diamonds mean colorless diamonds. They are the most common variety of lab diamonds and are chosen by traditionalists.
Additionally, gemologists now have the technology to infuse color into lab diamonds. This makes for a deeper and richer color making colored diamonds enthusiasts’ around the world very happy.
White lab grown diamonds are priced at the highest range in the man made diamonds category while the colored ones cost in a range of less than 40-70% of their mined counterparts making them affordable by a large margin.
Lab-Grown Diamonds are here to stay. They are real diamonds, available at a fraction of the cost, without the need for destructive mining or conflict.
