They also look exactly the same as natural diamonds and are equally as beautiful.

How Lab created diamonds are made and created?
Lab Grown Diamonds are created in Lab by applying heat and pressure to a Diamond seed. In a chamber, they provide pressure and 900 and 1200°C heat to a diamond seed. It's made from highly organized carbon. The chamber is inside the earth's surface. Around 6-8 weeks take diamonds to form. After that cut, polished and graded are done for that diamond. It's virtually impossible for the naked eye to tell the difference between Lab-grown and Natural diamonds.
Here, Two different methods used for lab-created diamonds:
- High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT)
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Learn more.
