ABOUT LAB GROWN DIAMONDS
Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically and visually the same as mined diamonds. They are not to be confused with diamond alternatives such as cubic zirconia or moissanite. As the name suggests, lab grown diamonds are grown in lab using one of two methods: high pressure, high temperature or chemical vapor deposition. Since they are grown in a lab, lab grown diamonds are much more affordable than natural mined diamonds. This allows people to save money or opt for a larger, higher quality diamond. Just like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds come in many different shapes and sizes and are graded using the same 4C’s.
HOW ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS MADE
HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature)
This methods seeks to mimic the process that natural diamonds undergo by using high pressure and high temperature to grow a diamond.
A diamond seed is placed in a chamber. and the growth chamber is heated to 1300 - 1600 degrees C with pressures rising above 870,000 pounds per square inch.
Molten metal dissolves a high purity carbon source, carbon atoms from the carbon source precipitate and attach to the diamond seed and a synthetic diamond begins to grow.
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
This methods involves creating the diamond layer by layer, similar to a 3D printer.
Diamond seed crystal are placed in a diamond growth chamber and the chamber is filled with a carbon containing gas and heater to 900 - 1200 degree C.
A microwave beam causes carbon atoms to precipitate out of the gas and deposit onto the seed crystals.
Often times the crystals need cleaned from black graphite through the process which results in a layer-by-layer growth process
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AND ECONOMICAL LAB DIAMONDS
While natural diamond mining conditions and practices have drastically improved over the last few decades, lab grown diamonds have no impact on the environment.
Thus lab grown diamonds can be perfect choice for those seeking to make an eco friendly purchase.

YADAV'S LAB GROWN DIAMONDS
We’ve taken decades of experience and non-compromising focus on quality for natural diamonds and carried that over to lab grown diamonds. We understand that quality does not end at the 4C’s and each diamond must inspect separate from its grading report. Each diamond that enters our showroom is indiscriminately inspected for any undesirable characteristics that can arise from the growth process and disregarded if our standards are not met.
Are Lab Diamonds Real?
The most important thing to know about lab-created diamonds is that they are created through the exact same process that makes natural diamonds: by exposing pure carbon to heat and pressure. The International Gem Society says lab made diamonds are “chemically, physically, and optically” the same as natural diamonds, have the same crystal structure and sparkle, and can be....

Are Lab Diamonds Just As Durable?
Diamonds are the hardest and most durable material on earth. With that said, Lab grown diamonds carry the same strength, hardness and durability as a mined diamond. To add, lab grown diamonds are also affordable, free of mining concerns, durable and luxurious.

What is a Lab Grown Diamond?
Lab diamonds are grown using technology that mimics the pressure and heat of the natural process that creates diamonds beneath the Earth’s crust. These diamonds are also called man-made diamonds, engineered diamonds, or synthetic diamonds. Whatever you call them, lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from naturally-created diamonds...
