How Are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?

Lab grown diamonds are crafted in laboratory using either the HPHT (High-Pressure High-Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. They start with a carbon source like a diamond seed placed in a specialized chamber. HPHT replicates natural conditions with high pressure and temperature, while CVD involves layering carbon atoms from a hydrocarbon-rich gas onto the seed. This process creates diamonds with identical properties to mined ones, the only difference being their origin.
