When it comes to diamonds, the terms "lab-grown" and "synthetic" are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision when choosing the right diamond for your needs.
5 Key Differences Explained
1. Creation Process
Lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory environment through a controlled diamond crystallization process that mimics the conditions under which natural diamonds are formed.
2. Production Methods
These diamonds are produced through two main methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
3. Physical Properties
Lab-grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, making them indistinguishable to the naked eye.
4. Identification
They can only be distinguished through professional laboratory instruments, such as diamondview, UV-visible spectrometers, or infrared spectrometers.
5. Synthetic Diamonds
On the other hand, synthetic diamonds, such as moissanite, are also created in a lab but have different characteristics. These differences include variations in the composition of internal elements and differences in the quality of light.
