How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Made?
Lab-grown diamonds, also known as lab-created diamonds, are a sustainable and ethical jewellery choice. Here's how they are made, using two key methods:
1. High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT):
Mimics Earth's natural diamond-creating process.
- Involves exposing a diamond seed to high temperatures and pressures.
- Results in the growth of a diamond over time.
2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD):
- A more modern technique.
- Places a diamond seed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gases.
- These gases are heated, causing carbon atoms to layer onto the seed, forming a diamond.
Both HPHT and CVD diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical characteristics as mined diamonds. The key benefits of lab-grown diamonds include:
- Ethical Production: Free from the controversies often associated with diamond mining.
- Environmental Sustainability: Less invasive and damaging to the Earth.
- Quality and Value: Offers the beauty of diamonds at a more accessible price point.
Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent choice for those seeking luxury with a conscience, combining the timeless appeal of diamonds with modern ethical standards.

Have Any Questions?
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds produced in controlled laboratory environments, mimicking natural diamond formation. Created through advanced techniques like High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), these diamonds possess the same properties as mined diamonds. Offering a sustainable and ethical alternative, lab-grown diamonds combine eco-friendliness with affordability.
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are known by several other names, such as synthetic diamonds, cultured diamonds, engineered diamonds, or created diamonds. These terms all refer to diamonds that are manufactured in a laboratory setting using advanced technological processes, rather than mined from the earth. Each term emphasises the diamonds' man-made origin and their identical properties to natural diamonds.
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are indeed real diamonds. They possess the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, including the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. Created in a controlled laboratory environment, these diamonds are a testament to scientific advancement. It's nearly impossible to differentiate lab-grown diamonds from natural diamonds with the naked eye.
Yes, all of Diamondrensu's lab-grown diamonds are certified by reputable institutions such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These certifications assure the authenticity, quality, trust, and transparency of our lab-grown diamonds, providing you with confidence in your purchase.
Lab-grown diamonds, whether created using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) methods, possess the same chemical properties and physical appearance as natural diamonds. However, it's important to note that HPHT diamonds might test as moissanite in some testing methods. This is primarily due to the technology used in certain testers not being sufficiently advanced to distinguish effectively between these materials.
On the other hand, CVD lab-grown diamonds will typically test as diamonds when using standard diamond testers or thermal testers. This is because these testers are designed to detect the unique thermal conductivity properties of diamonds, which CVD diamonds share.
For accurate identification and verification, laboratories such as the International Gemological Institute (IGI) and the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) have the necessary methods and technology to correctly test and differentiate these stones. They can provide reliable certifications that confirm the true nature of the diamond, whether it's a natural, CVD, or HPHT lab-grown diamond.
No. Lab-grown diamonds are very different from cubic zirconias. Cubic zirconias are synthetic gemstones made from zirconium oxide. Cubic zirconias are generally less brilliant and reflective and lack the hardness of diamonds. Under natural light, cubic zirconias give off rainbow light dispersions, while diamonds give off white light.
Yes, coloured lab-grown diamonds are available. These diamonds are created using the same processes as clear lab diamonds, but with the addition of certain elements like boron or nitrogen to achieve various hues. This results in a spectrum of colours including blue, yellow, pink, and green, offering a vibrant and diverse selection similar to naturally coloured diamonds. Coloured lab-grown diamonds provide a unique and ethical choice for those seeking distinctive and sustainable gemstones.
Yes, we specialise in offering custom cuts in lab-grown diamonds, tailoring them to meet your unique preferences. We also craft customised jewellery, allowing you to design a truly personal and distinctive piece. Whether you're looking for a specific diamond shape or a unique jewellery design, our service ensures your vision is brought to life with precision and care, using sustainable and ethical lab-grown diamonds.
