Currently, Man Made Diamonds are produced in the laboratory using very specialized technology. Diamonds formed in this process are called synthetic diamonds because they are composed of materials that are the same as natural diamonds. These lab-made diamonds have physical properties such as hardness, transparency, thermal conductivity, and high electrical carrier mobility, which make them as valuable as mined diamonds of the earth?s crust in the global market.

What are the methods of creating Man Made Diamonds"

The process used in producing man-made diamonds replicates the natural process of creating mined diamonds. Diamonds produced in the laboratory use advanced cutting-edge technology that places pure carbon under natural conditions (high temperature and pressure crushing) for diamond crystallization. Scientists use two types of methods to grow synthetic diamonds.
HPHT – HPHT, or High Pressure and High Temperature, was the first-ever lab-grown process developed in the 1950s. In this process, a diamond seed is placed into pure carbon and subjected to intense heat and pressure. The optical properties of HPHT diamonds appear very close to real mined diamonds and are suitable for color-grade enhancement treatment.

CVD – In the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, a small diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gases due to immense temperature. These gases turn into plasma using technology to break down the molecular bond ...
