What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
The Conscious Diamond
CONFLICT-FREE
A lot of mined diamonds are sold in order to fund armed conflict. We believe a diamond should be a token of love, not war. LabGems diamonds are free from wars, human rights violations and child labour, all things that poison the mined diamond industry.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Diamond mining is causing a tremendous toll on our environment. Poor regulation and irresponsibility severely damages land & water, causes soil erosion & deforestation and emits harmful carbon into the air. It has forced local communities and animals to relocate.
FAIR LABOUR PRACTICES
The majority of mined diamonds are harvested in factories that exploit workers, lack precautionary measures, and practice child labour. By no means do we support this. Our diamond artisans experience fair practices and work in great conditions.
Fair Pricing
Mined diamonds come with an unfair price tag. Diamond prices are largely controlled by diamond cartels, and are not a fair reflection of diamond scarcity. We want to break the tradition of cartel pricing and generate fair market valuations. Lab-grown diamonds are up to 70% less in price and have significantly increased transparency between the buyer and seller.
How Are Lab-Created Diamonds Grown?
There are two common methods for creating lab-grown diamonds:
1) High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)
2) CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
For high quality wearable gems, CVD is the most popular method, which starts out with a tiny diamond “seed.” Each seed is made of a repeating lattice of carbon atoms — just like all diamonds.
- It all starts with a tint diamond “seed” which is made of a repeating lattice of carbon atoms (just like any diamond)
- The seeds are placed inside an oven that zaps natural gas into a plasma of carbon
- The plasma of carbon sticks to each seed and slowly builds up a diamond, atom by atom
- It can take up to 10-12 weeks to bake a proper sized diamond
- After being grown, the diamonds are cut into rough shapes with a high-power laser
- Just like natural diamonds, our diamonds artisans polish the gems for faceting
- Et Voila! You’ve got yourself a sustainable & conflict-free diamond!
