A lab grown diamond will shine just as much as a natural diamond. Similarly, it will have the exact same chemical composition and look just as beautiful in engagement rings as a mined diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the only difference between lab diamonds and mined diamonds is how the diamonds are created. Mined diamonds are naturally created deep within Earth&#8217;s crust and take millions and millions of years to grown under intense heat and pressure. Lab grown diamonds are grown in a lab, but under the same conditions. How are they grown in a lab?

To create diamonds, a lab has to recreate the high pressure and intense heat that occur naturally within the Earth&#8217;s crust. The two different methods of doing so are Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chemical Vapor Deposition Diamonds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lab-grown-diamond-deep-green-deep-blue-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Lab Grown Diamonds\" class=\"wp-image-16434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lab-grown-diamond-deep-green-deep-blue-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lab-grown-diamond-deep-green-deep-blue-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lab-grown-diamond-deep-green-deep-blue-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lab-grown-diamond-deep-green-deep-blue.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lab Grown Diamonds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To create CVD lab grown diamonds, a thin slice of diamond seed is placed within a sealed chamber that is heated to around 800 degrees Celsius. The chamber then fills with carbon-rich gas, which ionizes into plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This breaks the molecular bonds in the gases and allows the pure carbon to adhere to the diamond seed crystal. After a period of time, enough carbon has adhered to the crystal structure to allow a rough diamond to be harvested and eventually cut and polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HPHT Diamonds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/round-cut-loose-diamond-white-and-grey-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Loose Lab Grown Diamond\" class=\"wp-image-16442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/round-cut-loose-diamond-white-and-grey-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/round-cut-loose-diamond-white-and-grey-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/round-cut-loose-diamond-white-and-grey-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/round-cut-loose-diamond-white-and-grey.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Loose Lab Created Diamond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>HPHT creates lab grown diamonds in one of three ways: a belt press, a cubic press, or a split sphere press. In each of these processes, an environment with extreme pressure and high temperatures is created to foster the growth of a diamond. In fact, the starter diamond seed withstands about 1500 degrees Celsius and 1.5 million pounds of pressure per square inch to form a diamond, which is then cooled and harvested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can People Tell the Difference Between Lab Created and Real Diamonds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comaprison-1-1024x538.png\" alt=\"Lab Grown vs. Mined Diamond Comparison\" class=\"wp-image-16451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comaprison-1-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comaprison-1-600x315.png 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comaprison-1-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comaprison-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lab Grown vs. Mined Diamond Comparison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To the naked eye, a lab grown diamond is indistinguishable from a mined diamond. Only trained jewelers using special equipment are able to tell the difference between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reputable institutions, like the International Gemological Institute, certify lab created diamonds. Such laboratories use a diamond tester that specializes in distinguishing mined diamonds from lab grown diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But once more, the determination of lab grown vs natural is not as important as the quality of the diamond itself.

This means that whether you&#8217;re looking for a lab grown diamond engagement ring, necklace, or earrings, you can rest easy knowing that they&#8217;ll maintain the same beauty and sparkle as those mined from the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lab Grown Diamonds Are More Affordable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oval-Engagement-Ring-Blue-sky-greenery--1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Oval Engagement Ring\" class=\"wp-image-16466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oval-Engagement-Ring-Blue-sky-greenery--1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oval-Engagement-Ring-Blue-sky-greenery--600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oval-Engagement-Ring-Blue-sky-greenery--768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Oval-Engagement-Ring-Blue-sky-greenery-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Oval Engagement Ring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lab created diamonds are significantly cheaper than natural diamonds; on average, you can expect to save around 20-40% when you purchase lab made diamonds. And while you&#8217;re still paying more for your diamond than you would if you were to buy cubic zirconia, you won&#8217;t be sacrificing any durability or beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why do lab grown diamonds cost so much less than natural diamonds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, there&#8217;s the cost of mining. Earth mined diamonds are dangerous and expensive, and diamond mining has its own set of risks. These include potential cave-ins or chemical leaks that can pollute nearby water sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, there&#8217;s the cost of cutting. Cutting natural diamonds allows them to sparkle in their full glory. However, this process is also expensive because it requires both special tools and a lot of time to get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, lab created diamonds don&#8217;t have all the same ethical issues surrounding them as natural diamonds do\u2014namely that some mined diamond purchases have supported unethical labor practices in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lab Grown Diamonds Save the Earth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/multi-stone-engagement-ring-gold-flowers-book-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow Gold Engagement Ring\" class=\"wp-image-16468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/multi-stone-engagement-ring-gold-flowers-book-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/multi-stone-engagement-ring-gold-flowers-book-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/multi-stone-engagement-ring-gold-flowers-book-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/multi-stone-engagement-ring-gold-flowers-book.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yellow Gold Engagement Ring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of mining diamonds is extremely destructive to the Earth and its inhabitants. In fact, it&#8217;s estimated that for every 1 carat of diamond purchased, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/about-mined-diamonds\/\">1700 tons of earth<\/a> must be excavated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what&#8217;s the solution? Lab created diamonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lab diamonds look just like mined ones. The only difference is that they&#8217;re assembled in a lab from carbon atoms instead of being mined from the Earth. This means no deforestation or habitat destruction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lab Grown Diamonds Are Ethical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lab-tweezers-blog-image-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Loose Diamonds\" class=\"wp-image-16446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lab-tweezers-blog-image-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lab-tweezers-blog-image-1-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lab-tweezers-blog-image-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lab-tweezers-blog-image-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Loose Diamonds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While natural diamonds have undergone worldwide reform thanks to the federal trade commission and the Kimberley Accord, there are still harmful diamonds sold and enjoyed today.
