What are laboratory diamonds?

You may be wondering: What are lab grown diamonds ? They are also called "lab grown" diamonds. The simple answer is that lab grown diamonds are 100% chemically and optically identical to naturally mined diamonds.

Lab -grown diamonds are made from tiny carbon seeds of existing diamonds . Scientists use advanced technology—either extreme pressure and heat (HPHT) or a special deposition process known as chemical vapor deposition (CVD)—to mimic the method of natural diamond formation.

The only difference is that they are grown by scientists using cutting-edge technology from a mined diamond “seed” – rather than mined from the earth.

The laboratory recreates the natural conditions under which diamonds were formed in the Earth's mantle millions of years ago. This is why laboratory diamonds are made of carbon atoms in a lattice crystal structure - just like mined diamonds.

A lab -grown diamond is made of 100% carbon, just like a natural diamond, and also has a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale. The positive aspect of synthetic diamonds is that they are more environmentally friendly and ecological as there is no mining involved, which can be a huge drain on a variety of resources. Our lab -grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds and exhibit the same fire and sparkle.

- 100% real diamonds, conflict-free
- Made in the laboratory, for the sake of our environment
- Sustainable diamond without consequences for nature and people
- Energy-saving production
