Viewing the Development of Diamonds Grown in Labs
Lab grown diamonds refers to a new category in the jewellery business, which is considered beautiful, ethical, and friendly to the pocket. These diamonds are known as synthetic or cultivated diamonds as are produced in a monitored environment – the laboratory, and they have comparable properties like natural diamonds.
The Production Process of Diamonds Grown in Lab
The CVD Method: Accuracy and Extraction
The other technique known as Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) entails putting a diamond seed in a chamber full of carbon containing gases. These gases are then ionised, and the atoms take on a charge allowing them to and from the diamonds layer by layer. It facilitates the type of control that leads to the shaping of fewer internal flaws, which are hallmarked by outstanding quality.
The HPHT Method: Inspired by Nature
High Pressure High Temperature accurately mimics the conditions that are present within the mantle where natural diamonds are formed. This method involves the use of pressure and high temperature on a carbon source and adding a diamond seed to synthesise diamonds that resemble the mined types.

Ethical Considerations
Lab grown diamond does not come hand in hand with the many problems that accompany the mining process like, environment destruction and exploitation of human labour. These diamonds are a clear and sensible option for the really picky, socially aware consumer.
Cost Advantages
On an average, lab grown diamonds are cheaper by 20-40% when compared to natural diamonds; these savings can be invested in buying a better quality or a slightly larger diamond than planned. This cost-efficiency makes them popular for people who want to have the feel of the luxurious lifestyle without huge expenditures.
Exceptional Quality
Scrutiny of all these factors show that it is possible to grow diamonds in a laboratory with less defects and better quality. This insulates the environment so that each diamond conforms strictly to the required specifications during the production process, and most of the replicas are even clearer and more brilliant than natural diamonds.
Popular Ring Designs
Solitaire
In solitaire setting the diamond takes the central position so it epitomises the whole appearance. This basic type of engagement ring design draws attention to focus on the precious stone, which is the diamond.
Halo
The halo setting is a circle of smaller stones around a central diamond making the total appearance of a bigger stone as contrast to the traditional prong setting which involves the stone being held by metallic claws.
Three-Stone
This design of setting three stones symbolised their past, the current and what they want to become in the future. It has a large diamond in the middle then two smaller diamonds on the side of the large one and I find the design rather proportional and symbolic.
Vintage
Antique places have sophisticated elements and are preferred for their old-world appeal. Such rings typically have specific ornaments including filigree, milgrain edges, as well as a bezel set giving the jewellery its artistic and lovers’ appeal.
How Take Care of Your Lab Grown Diamond Ring
Regular Cleaning
Clean your diamond ring often using a solution of mild soap, hot water and a soft bristle brush for a sparkling clean and brilliant piece.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals
Do not expose your ring to chemicals like bleach and chlorines; they have a potential of eroding the metal work and also causing the diamond to lose its lustre.
Proper Storage
Although a lab grown diamond ring 1 carat can be worn on a daily basis, it should be kept separately in a jewel box or in a special pocket that has a soft interior to avoid contact with other rings and jewellery items that can harm your ring.
Professional Inspections
It is advisable to take your ring to a jeweller for an examination, at least, once in a year to make sure the stones are well fixed and the type of metal used has not worn out.
