Lab Grown Diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds or cultured diamonds, are created through advanced technological processes within controlled laboratory environments. Unlike naturally occurring diamonds formed deep within the Earth's crust over millions of years, these diamonds are produced through methods that replicate the conditions conducive to diamond growth. The process typically involves subjecting a small seed crystal to high pressure and high temperature or chemical vapor deposition, allowing carbon atoms to crystallize and form a diamond structure.

Lab-grown diamonds possess identical physical, chemical, and optical characteristics to their mined counterparts. They share the same hardness, brilliance, and fire, making them virtually indistinguishable to the eye. These diamonds can exhibit exceptional quality and purity, and they are graded using the same criteria as natural diamonds, including the four Cs: carat weight, cut, color, and clarity.
