Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds, are man-made diamonds that are created in a laboratory setting, but are considered real diamonds by experts. They have the same physical properties, optical properties, and chemical properties as natural diamonds, but are created in a controlled environment rather than being mined from the earth.
Lab-created diamonds are becoming increasingly popular due to their ethical and environmental benefits, as well as their cost savings compared to traditional diamonds. In this article, we will explore the rising popularity of lab-grown diamonds in Eastvale and the benefits they offer. Here at Diamond & Design Jewelers, we offer a wide range of lab diamonds, including in our beautiful engagement rings and diamond studs.

Lab diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural process of diamond formation, but much more quickly. There are two methods by which this is done, high temperature, high pressure, (HTHP) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
In CVD, a small diamond crystal, known as a diamond seed is placed in a chamber that is filled with carbon-rich gases. These gases are heated to extreme temperatures and the carbon atoms attach to the diamond seed, gradually building up layers and creating a larger diamond that can be used for a wide range of purposes, including engagement and wedding rings, stud earrings and pendant necklaces.
During HTHP, a diamond seed is exposed to carbon material that is subjected to extreme pressure and temperature. The heat and pressure mimic the conditions that create natural diamonds in nature. Sometimes, a diamond created using CVD is also exposed to HTHP to create the precise gem-quality diamond you desire.
The process can take anywhere from 6-10 weeks, depending on the size and quality of the diamond being created. Once the diamond is formed, it is cut and polished just like a natural diamond, resulting in a high-quality, conflict-free diamond. Professional gemologists classify lab-created diamonds as real diamonds and grading reports are issued based on the same criteria as a mined diamond. Keep in mind that a lab diamond is not the same thing as a diamond simulant, such as cubic zirconia, moissanite and silicon carbide.

Local jewelers in Eastvale, such as Diamond & Design Jewelers, are now offering lab-grown loose diamonds as an alternative to traditional diamonds. This shift is due to the increasing demand for ethical and environmentally friendly options from consumers.
