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:
       
  1. High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT)
  2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).  Learn more.
