What is a Lab Gown Diamond?

There are two ways to create diamonds in the lab. the older method mimics how they are grown naturally, HPHT or High Pressure, High Temperature.

CVD or Chemical Vapor Deposition was created in the 1980s.

The CVD method takes place in a vacuum chamber. A diamond seed is placed in the chamber which is then pumped full of gases, mainly carbon, and the chamber is heated to around 1500 degrees. The gas liquefies to plasma releasing carbon pieces. The carbon becomes layered onto the diamond seeds allowing it to grow into a diamond.

When the diamond is removed from the chamber it looks like a roughened black cube because it is covered in carbon dust and grime, Post Growth treatment and polishing are required, this is another step in the process of bringing the beautiful diamond to the customer. 75% of all CVD diamonds come out of the growing chamber with a yellow tinge, and the HPHT process is used to remove most of it, After that the color is stable.

Some have a slightly bluish tint, resulting from the use of boron in the growing chamber to remove excess nitrogen. This is usually only visible in certain lights. The grading report will list faint blue, and it does not affect the value of the stone.

This makes them the stone of choice for younger environmentally savvy adults, and the fact that they can have a ring for a much lower price helps, to buy from Rare Carat is an educational experience in itself.
