Learn About Created Diamonds

So, What’s a Created Diamond Anyway?

Glad you asked. Created diamonds are real diamonds — just born in a lab, not dug from the dirt. Same sparkle, same chemistry, same ability to make your jaw drop. 

The HPHT Magic: Where Pressure Meets Perfection

Ever wondered how a created diamond comes to life? It’s all about high stakes—literally. The HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) process takes diamonds on a wild ride. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Pressure That’s Out of This World: We crank up the heat and pressure to an insane level—about 50,000 times stronger than the air around us. No big deal, right?

  2. Heat Like a Volcano: We’re talking temperatures that can melt metal—around 1,600°C (or 2,912°F). It’s hotter than your coffee on a Monday morning!

  3. Carbon's Big Moment: At the heart of it all is pure carbon—just a tiny speck of it. This is where the magic happens, as it’s pushed to become something magnificent with a little help from a metal catalyst.

  4. The Diamond Emerges: Weeks later, after being subjected to these extreme conditions, the carbon crystallizes into a dazzling diamond. It's like watching a star being born!

The CVD Journey: Where Diamonds Are Born from Thin Air

Imagine turning gas into a glittering diamond—that’s what we do with the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. Here’s how we make it happen:

  1. It Starts with Gas: We take carbon-rich gases (usually methane) and pump them into a super high-tech chamber. It’s kind of like baking, if your oven made diamonds instead of cookies.

  2. Plasma Power: We hit the gases with energy to create plasma (basically an ionized, charged gas). This is where the magic begins, as it breaks apart the gases and releases carbon atoms.

  3. The Diamond Crystal Grows: These carbon atoms begin to stick to a tiny seed diamond. Layer by layer, they build up, and boom—a brand-new diamond starts to grow right before your eyes.

  4. Slow and Steady Wins the Sparkle: It takes a few weeks, but in the end, you’ve got a stunning diamond, grown from the most unlikely of places—air! Talk about a glow-up.

At the end of it all, we’ve got a diamond that’s chemically identical to those mined from the Earth —  just with a whole lot less drama. 

Grown in Labs, Cut by Legends

Just because a diamond’s made in a lab doesn’t mean it skips the craftsmanship. Once it’s grown, every created diamond still goes through the same hands (and blades) as mined diamonds—master cutters who know exactly how to unlock its fire, brilliance, and wow factor.

These experts study each stone, plan every angle, and bring out the kind of sparkle that stops people mid-sentence. So yes—your created diamond still gets the red-carpet treatment, because brilliance isn’t automatic. It’s created, facet by facet.
