Lab-created diamonds are produced through two primary methods: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT).
Both processes replicate the conditions under which natural diamonds form.
This results in diamonds that are chemically and physically identical to their mined counterparts.
5 Key Steps Explained
1. Seed Preparation
A small diamond seed is prepared to initiate the growth process.
This seed serves as the base for the new diamond to grow upon.
2. Gas Exposure
The seed is placed in a chamber and exposed to a carbon-rich gas, typically methane.
3. Heating
The chamber is heated to extremely high temperatures.
This causes the gas to ionize and break down into carbon and hydrogen atoms.
4. Deposition and Crystallization
The carbon atoms deposit onto the diamond seed.
They gradually build up layers and crystallize into a larger diamond over several weeks.
5. Cooling and Formation
The diamond is allowed to cool, forming a larger diamond that is identical to a natural one.
Both CVD and HPHT methods produce diamonds that are indistinguishable from natural diamonds in terms of their chemical composition and physical properties.
After the growth process, the diamonds undergo cutting and polishing to achieve the desired shape and brilliance, similar to mined diamonds.
