Lab Created Diamonds are Lighter on your wallet

Lab Created Diamonds

Diamond is the most well-known of stones with exceptional physical qualities.  It is one of the hardest of all the stones and its demand is dependent upon how it is cut and polished before being sold. Diamonds represent romance, love, power and money and for many people. It is important that the diamond be of the finest quality. But diamonds of high quality are worth tens of thousands of dollars and hence are out of reach for almost everyone except the very rich. This raises the question, “How would you feel if you had a cheaper option?” Of course, cheaper diamonds of the same quality would be a dream come true for every woman. This has become possible now with lab created diamonds.

In the past decade, the technology has improved to the level that now diamonds of as good a quality as mined ones can be created in a lab. The lab created diamonds are as real as they can be and there is no difference in their chemical makeup from the mined diamonds. Be it natural or a lab created diamond, both types are created out of pure carbon and have the same crystalline structure.

The natural diamonds are normally made around 200 kilometers below the surface of the earth taking billions of years to be formed by the reaction of heat and pressure. On the other hand, lab created diamond are made in much lesser time by using any of the following two methods:

• High Pressure High Temperature Diamonds (HPHT)
• Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

A lab created diamond cannot be distinguished from a natural diamond with bare eyes. Only advanced technology such as passing of an ultraviolet light through the diamond can tell the difference. With the development in technology, improvement is seen in not just the lab created diamonds quality but also in its costs.

A ring signifies engagement, and if it is a diamond ring that you are giving to your fiancée, it would make your her the happiest girl alive.

A lab created diamond ring costs around 20-40 percent less than natural diamond rings while being made with the same skill and material, and hence can impress your fiancée just as much.
