Lab-grown diamonds typically take about six to ten weeks to be created.
This process can vary slightly depending on the specific method used.
The two main methods are Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT).
How long do lab-grown diamonds take to make? (6-10 weeks)
1. CVD Method
The CVD method involves a process where carbon-rich gases are ionized.
This breaks the molecules apart, allowing carbon atoms to precipitate and form a diamond on a substrate.
This process generally takes about 8-10 working days to formulate a 1-carat lab diamond.
Growing a 3-carat lab diamond takes about a month.
Growing diamonds faster than this can disrupt the crystalline structure, causing the diamond to break.
2. HPHT Method
The HPHT method mimics the natural process of diamond formation.
It subjects carbon to high pressure and high temperature.
This method can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to grow several crystals.
Specifically, growing a 1-carat diamond using the HPHT method takes about a fortnight.
3. Precise Control
Both methods require precise control over the environment and conditions.
This ensures the diamond's quality and integrity.
After the diamonds are grown, they are cut, polished, and graded similarly to natural diamonds.
