Our Lab-Grown Diamonds
At Diamonds Made for Love, we believe conscious & mindful consuming is the way of the future.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The deep adoration we possess for our Earth is reflected in our advocation for the ethical innovation that is Lab-Grown Diamonds. Every treasure we source & every piece we bring to life carries with it someones intentional decision to choose the Earth.
Devoted to creating fine jewellery that will last a lifetime & beyond, when it comes to our Lab-Grown Diamonds, we thoughtfully select & purposefully curate our collections.
Our superb range of Laboratory created Diamonds are hand-picked by our Chief Gemstone Expert, alongside our Founder. We choose to work with the most exquisite Diamonds that deliver on our promise of quality, beauty & ethicality. All of our Diamonds are IGI Certified & transparently priced.
WHAT IS A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?
Lab-Grown Diamonds are made of pure carbon, just like natural diamonds, and have the same crystal structure. They are not imitations or stimulants;
Lab-Grown diamonds are real diamonds, but they are created in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth. Lab-Grown Diamonds are physically, optically & chemically the exact same as Mined Diamonds. They are equal in all rights, indistinguishable in every way: They are indeed real Diamonds.
A Lab-Grown Diamond is the perfect gemstone for the ethically minded consumer. ༄
HOW ARE LAB DIAMONDS GROWN?
There are two common techniques laboratories employ to grow Lab Diamonds. The Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) methods.
The CVD Method: Each Lab Diamond begins its growth journey from a tiny carbon 'seed' derived from an existing Diamond. This seed is carefully positioned within a growth chamber. Inside the chamber, a plasma ball of intensely heated, carbon-rich gas, composed of hydrogen and methane, is formed.
Through ionisation, the molecular bonds of these gases are broken down, allowing pure carbon to adhere layer by layer onto the diamond seed. Over the course of several weeks, a new diamond, indistinguishable from those mined from the Earth, takes shape.
The HPHT Method: This method involves placing a Diamond 'seed' into a specialised chamber capable of generating extreme pressures. High-purity carbon material, typically graphite, is subjected to intense pressure and heat.
Within this environment, the carbon source dissolves within a molten metal flux and migrates towards the diamond seed, initiating the growth of a diamond crystal.
Subsequently, the diamond undergoes cutting, polishing and grading by esteemed laboratories including the IGI and GIA.
