2. Tiny Seed to Brilliant Gemstone š±
Lab Diamonds are made via two processes:Ā High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Disposition (CVD). While the jewels created by these methods look the same, the process is different.
HPHTĀ starts with a tiny diamond "seed." Then, it mimics how diamonds develop on the Earthāthrough intense heat and pressureābut in a fraction of the time. Meanwhile,Ā CVDĀ also starts with a seed in a vacuum chamber. The process uses gases, broken down to form a diamond jewel atom by atom, just like snowfall.Ā
3. Eco-Conscious Choice š

4. Bigger Carat for the Same Price š
Lab diamonds are made a fraction of the time natural diamonds are mined. The good news? This means they are sold for a better price as well!
