WHAT IS A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?
A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond that, instead of forming naturally in the earth, is created in a laboratory using advanced technology.
Although lab-grown,
IT'S A DIAMOND!
Leading gemological institutes like IGI, GIA, and HRD issue 4C grading reports for lab-grown diamonds, confirming their authenticity and quality.

HOW TO GROW A DIAMOND?
We Don't Shorten the Time to Form a Diamond;
We Eliminate Its Travel Time
Unlike natural diamonds, which require millions of years to form and travel to the Earth's surface for mining, our lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment. This means we bypass the lengthy natural process, producing high-quality diamonds without the long journey.
The Diamond Seed
In the HPHT process, a small diamond—whether natural or lab-grown—is used as a seed to grow larger diamonds.

The Giant Press
This impressive machine generates extreme conditions with temperatures of up to 1500°C and pressures of 5 GPa, creating the ideal environment for diamonds to form.

Rough Diamonds Formed
Over the course of a few days of continuous transformation, diamonds grow from the seed, with carbon sourced from graphite.

Cut and Polish
Just like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamond roughs undergo cutting and polishing to reveal their brilliance.

The Diamond Plate
The CVD process begins with a diamond plate, which serves as the foundation for growth. The quality of this plate is crucial, as it directly affects the diamond's development.

Visible Chamber
Inside the chamber of a desk-sized CVD device, carbon atoms are separated from carbon dioxide under high temperatures and low pressure.

Rough Diamonds Formed
Carbon atoms are deposited onto the diamond plate within the chamber, gradually building up the plate and forming a CVD diamond rough.

Cut and Polish
Cutting CVD roughs involves a slightly different process compared to natural diamonds. Before the standard cutting and polishing procedures, any polycrystalline material must be removed.
