What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic or cultured diamonds, are diamonds that are created in a controlled laboratory environment rather than being mined from the earth. Despite their artificial origin, lab-grown diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. This means that they are virtually indistinguishable from their natural counterparts to the naked eye.
How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Created?
There are two primary methods for creating lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
- High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT):
- This method simulates the natural conditions under which diamonds form in the Earth's mantle. A small diamond seed is placed in a carbon source and exposed to high pressure and high temperature. Over time, carbon atoms deposit onto the seed, forming a new diamond crystal.
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD):
- In the CVD process, a diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gases. These gases are ionized into plasma, causing carbon atoms to bond with the diamond seed and grow layer by layer. This method allows for precise control over the diamond's growth, resulting in high-quality diamonds with fewer inclusions.
Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds?
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable:
- Lab-grown diamonds are an environmentally friendly alternative to mined diamonds. Their production requires significantly less energy and water, and it eliminates the need for destructive mining practices. Choosing lab-grown diamonds helps reduce the ecological footprint of your jewelry purchase.

- With lab-grown diamonds, you can be confident that your jewelry is free from the ethical concerns associated with some mined diamonds, such as human rights violations and conflict funding. Every lab-grown diamond at Marvels Co. is produced under strict ethical standards.
