Get the exact diamond you want with a lab created diamond from Rox Atlanta Jewelers. Here are some answers to common questions about lab created diamonds.
Lab created diamonds, or synthetic diamonds, are real diamonds cultured in a laboratory. These diamonds are also known as cultured diamonds or laboratory-grown diamonds. They are made from the exact same material as diamonds – namely, carbon atoms. They are not cubic zirconia or any other kind of “fake” diamond.
Lab diamonds are cultured using one of two methods. The first is High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT). The second is Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). These processes were developed back in the 1940s by the United States, the Soviet Union, and Sweden. Despite which way they are cultured, lab diamonds are thought to be superior to mined diamonds based on hardness, electron mobility, etc.
Today, buyers seek out jewelry made with lab cultured diamonds in order to find a stone that meets their exact requirements and ethical standards. Lab diamonds are graded and certified using the same systems as traditional diamonds.
The only competition between mined and lab created diamonds is perceived. They are different for different reasons. Some people choose lab created diamonds for their modern appeal. While other buyers prefer the tradition of a mined diamond. Likewise, those people with a love of vintage jewelry, prefer the unique differences of each mined diamond.
Truly, without special equipment, a jeweler looking at a diamond under a loupe would be unable to tell the difference. Sight alone is not enough to distinguish the two. If you buy a lab created diamond, it will come with a certification letter. Do not purchase any lab created diamond without this verification.
