Lab-grown diamonds have revolutionised the jewellery industry, offering an ethical and sustainable alternative to mined stones. Understanding how lab-grown diamonds are made reveals the advanced technology behind these stunning gems and explains why they are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds.  The Science Behind Diamond Formation Diamonds are pure carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure. Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle, where extreme pressure and temperature cause atoms to crystallise. Lab-grown diamonds replicate these conditions using advanced technology. Scientists have developed two primary methods for growing diamonds in controlled environments: High Pressure High Temperature...

Lab-grown diamonds have become a central part of Europe’s modern jewellery market. Two advanced methods, namely, CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) diamonds, are used to produce authentic diamonds with the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds.  This blog explores both methods in detail, highlights their advantages and limitations and examines how each aligns with current market expectations. Understanding the Two Growth Methods CVD Diamonds CVD uses a vacuum chamber where carbon-rich gases are introduced and energised. As carbon atoms separate from the gas, they settle layer by layer on a diamond seed....

The diamond sector continues to evolve as science, technology and consumer expectations reshape the global jewellery landscape. Today’s buyers are presented with two equally captivating options: lab-grown diamonds and mined diamonds.  This article offers a balanced, clear comparison to help buyers understand the strengths of both diamond types. Understanding Lab-Grown Diamonds Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a controlled environment using CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) technology. These processes replicate natural geological conditions, resulting in stones with the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds. They possess identical brilliance, hardness and durability....

The diamond industry is experiencing a significant transformation. Lab-grown diamonds have made their way to the mainstream market, reshaping how consumers perceive luxury, value and responsible purchasing.
