Lab Grown Diamonds are man made by simulating natural conditions of extreme heat

and pressure or chemical vapor deposition. Both mined and created diamonds are

identical in chemical, optical and physical composition.

The growing process utilizes advanced scientific

knowledge and sophisticated technology to recreate conditions similar to

nature’s force exerted over a billion years approximately 100 miles

underground.

Our diamonds are created by replicating certain favorable conditions growing

crystal carbon. A sliver of an existing Type IIA diamond, otherwise known

as a “seed”, is placed in an environment that contains a specific recipe of

carbon compounds. The seed is then subjected to a process called Chemical Vapor

Deposition (CVD), wherein the crystals are formed from hot plasma in layers,

like semiconductors. What results is a real Created Rough Diamond with all the

natural properties of a mined diamond.

The diamond reactors and processes, built and perfected over 60 years of combined research, use a Type IIA ‘diamond seed’ to create real diamonds. This results in a diamond that is exceptionally beautiful and of higher quality.

Depending on the color and size, it can take between 60-120 days to create a diamond in the laboratory.

Lab Grown Diamonds are graded with the same standards certifications from Gem Certification and Assurance Lab as mined diamonds and carry (GCAL) as well as the International Gemological Institute (IGI). It is probable that other grading laboratories will certify created diamonds in the near future.
