Hello, dear listeners of our podcast. In this episode, we will explain in simple language what lab diamonds are and why lab diamond jewelry is a cool buy. It's important to understand that a distinction is made between a natural diamond, a lab diamond, and an imitation diamond such as moissanite or fianite.
A laboratory diamond, or synthetic diamond as it is also called, is a diamond grown in a laboratory using special equipment. It is unique in that it has the same chemical, physical and visual properties as natural crystals. Since the laboratory diamond is based on the same component - carbon, such a stone has the same crystal structure as a natural stone, just not mined in a diamond field, but in a laboratory.
In recent years, lab-created diamonds have become popular due to their unique properties and many advantages.
First of all, let's talk about the creation process. Natural diamonds are formed over millions of years under high pressure and temperature in the Earth's interior. While laboratory diamonds are created in a matter of weeks using advanced technologies such as HPHT (high pressure and high temperature) and CVD (chemical vapor deposition). This produces diamonds that are physically and chemically identical to natural diamonds. Which method of growing your diamond is absolutely irrelevant, as it does not affect anything.
One of the main advantages of lab-grown diamonds is that they are environmentally friendly. The process of creating them requires far fewer resources and does not involve the destruction of ecosystems like natural diamonds do. This makes them a more responsible choice for conscious consumers.
Laboratory diamonds usually cost 20-40% less than their natural counterparts. This is due to reduced mining and processing costs. When you buy a lab-grown diamond, you get the same level of quality and brilliance, but at a more affordable price.
It is also important to note that lab-grown diamonds are not subject to any of the moral dilemmas associated with blood diamonds. These diamonds do not fund conflicts and are not associated with human rights abuses, making them an ethical choice.
