Lab Created and CVD Diamond Engagement Rings
Lab Created and CVD diamond information, facts, pros and cons
What Is A Lab Created Or CVD Diamond?
Lab created diamonds are chemically and structurally identical to mined diamonds that are grown in the earth, the only difference being that lab diamonds were formed in a controlled environment. Lab made diamonds, lab grown diamonds, and man made diamonds are all terms used to describe the same stone. A CVD diamond is a lab diamond that is created through the process of chemical vapor deposition. An HPHT diamond is created through a process called high pressure high treatment. Lab diamonds are recognized as real diamond by the FTC and pass all tests used to confirm a pure carbon diamonds. The differences are indistinguishable, except that many lab diamonds have a laser inscription that is only visible through magnification. People opt for lab created diamond engagement rings because, in general, mined gemstones run the possibility of being mined in a way that has a negative impact on the environment or on the people that mine them. In contrast, lab created diamonds are conflict-free and ethical. They’re also generally of a higher clarity and color grade than naturally forming stones.
