Lab Grown Diamonds

Laboratory Grown Diamonds are chemically, physically and optically exactly the same as mined diamonds.
The only difference between Lab Grown Diamonds and mined diamonds is the point of origin.
Lab Created diamonds are diamonds have exactly the same physical and chemical composition to man made diamonds. The only difference between the Lab Made diamonds and artificial diamonds is that, natural diamonds are created naturally by the process of formation,while lab grown diamonds are artificially created in the laboratory. Even expert  gemologists cannot definitively distinguish between a man-made diamond from a naturally occurring one without using highly sophisticated and costly machinery.
Traditionally formed diamonds and diamonds created in the laboratory looks exactly the same, it is very difficult for the people to distinguish between the two.It is extremely difficult to tell the differences between them.

Traditionally made diamonds are being created by natural Earth's activities.The heat and pressure of the Earth's surface transforms carbon form into a crystalline structure.Through volcanic activity, this particular crystalline structure which is known to be the diamond, is being sent to the surface area of the Earth embedded in the rocks.
The laboratory created diamonds are molded in the laboratory. It is grown under cautiously controlled laboratory conditions. It can be formed either through High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Disposition (CVD) processes.
A synthetic version is made by a technological process (man-made) and a real diamond is created by a geological process in nature. Synthetic diamonds can also be referred to as "HPHT diamonds" or "CVD diamonds".HPHT stands for High Pressure High Temperature, and this is the original process used to grow diamonds in the lab

CVD, or Chemical Vapor Deposition, is a process in which the gem is grown in a smaller pressurised chamber. In this process, vaporised carbon is used to 'grow' the diamond around a seed crystal.
HPHT and CVD synthetic diamonds are found in many colors such as clear white, yellow, brown, blue, green and orange.
There are many styles and sizes available in synthetic diamonds as lab producers are able to control variables when creating the gems rather than allowing the natural processes of the Earth to do the creating.

Lab Grown Diamonds grow above the earth in diamond greenhouses and unlike mined diamonds, there is no excavation and mining hence keeping nature and natural resources intact. This contributes in green environments and are eco-friendly diamonds.
Unlike mined diamonds, Lab Grown Diamonds are grown without harming any native communities and since these are grown in high tech laboratories in first world countries there is no chance of child labour, violence and human rights abuses.
