Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real? Your Questions Answered

Sep 23rd 2023

Ah, diamonds. They’ve dazzled us for centuries as the ultimate symbol of love and luxury. Now, once the stuff of science fiction, lab grown diamonds are stepping out of the lab and into the limelight. They’re the bling of the future, with all the glitz minus the guilt. 

But let’s get to the bottom of the glitzy abyss: Are lab grown diamonds actually real diamonds? We’re diving into the heart of carbon to answer your burning questions about these sparkling wonders. 

Are Lab Created Diamonds Real?

Yes, they are! In fact, chemically, physically, and optically, they’re identical to their Earth-mined counterparts. Both types of diamonds are made of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure, giving them their signature hardness and sparkle. Furthermore, professional gemologists often need specialized equipment to tell the difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds—that's how similar they are. So, yes, lab grown diamonds are real diamonds!

Same Bling, Different Origins

What sets real lab created diamonds apart isn’t their composition, brilliance, or weight—it's their origin. Lab created diamonds from EX3 Diamond have the exact same chemical composition as naturally occurring diamonds. Think of it as the nature vs. nurture debate for your diamond ring, necklace, or earrings. Both types are made of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. The only difference? Our lab grown diamonds are crafted in a controlled environment instead of being dug up from the Earth’s crust. So yes, these lab grown diamonds are real diamonds—just made smarter.

How Exactly Are They Made?

So, how does science pull off creating these real lab grown diamonds? Well, there are two primary methods: High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). HPHT recreates the Earth’s natural diamond-making process but fast-forwards it by a few million years. Meanwhile, CVD is like 3D printing for diamonds. A gas mixture deposits carbon atom by atom, layer by layer, until you’ve got a sparkling stone.
