diamonds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lab-grown diamonds are one of the most talked-about topics in jewelry. Here are the answers to the questions we are asked most often.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"l-real\">Are lab-grown diamonds real?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. A lab-grown diamond is a diamond \u2013 carbon with the same crystal structure, hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) and optical properties as a natural one. It is not an imitation like cubic zirconia or moissanite. The only difference is its origin: a natural diamond formed deep in the earth millions of years ago, a lab-grown one in a controlled environment within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Can they be told apart?<\/h2>\n<p>Not with the naked eye, and not with an ordinary jeweler's loupe. A diamond's origin is determined with highly specialized laboratory equipment. At VALENTIN Gold &amp; Diamonds, transparency and confidence in choosing a diamond matter greatly to us, so every piece we make with a natural or lab-grown diamond of 0.30 ct and above comes with a certificate from the IGI or GIA laboratory confirming the stone's origin. The diamond grading report or certificate of origin is an integral part of the documents we give our clients when they buy a diamond piece \u2013 whether the diamond is natural or lab-grown.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"l-made\">How are lab-grown diamonds made?<\/h2>\n<p>A lab-grown diamond is made by one of two methods. Either way, the result is a real diamond, with the same composition, hardness and brilliance as a natural one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vcg-two\">\n<div><b>CVD<\/b><i>chemical vapor deposition<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Methane and hydrogen are turned into plasma inside a chamber, and carbon atoms settle layer by layer on a thin diamond plate. Growing one crystal takes several weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><b>HPHT<\/b><i>high pressure, high temperature<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A small diamond crystal is placed in carbon at a pressure of over 50,000 atmospheres and a temperature of about 1,500 \u00b0C \u2013 conditions like those deep in the earth, where natural diamonds form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rough crystal is then cut and polished exactly like a natural diamond. That is why, with a lab-grown diamond too, the sparkle depends mostly on the cut.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"l-cert\">How does the report show the origin?<\/h2>\n<p>The IGI or GIA report states clearly that the stone is laboratory-grown, and often the growth method too \u2013 CVD or HPHT. The report number and a note that the diamond is lab-grown are usually laser-inscribed on the girdle as well, so the origin can be checked at any time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vcg-cta\"><a href=\"\/en\/proverka-na-sertifikati\/\">Verify a certificate<\/a><a class=\"alt\" href=\"\/en\/diamonds\/\">What the 4Cs mean<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"l-compare\">Comparison<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Natural diamond<\/th>\n<th>Lab-grown diamond<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Composition and hardness<\/td>\n<td>Carbon, 10 on the Mohs scale<\/td>\n<td>Carbon, 10 on the Mohs scale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sparkle<\/td>\n<td>Depends on the cut<\/td>\n<td>Depends on the cut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Origin<\/td>\n<td>Formed in the earth<\/td>\n<td>Created in a laboratory<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rarity<\/td>\n<td>Rare, a limited resource<\/td>\n<td>Produced on demand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price for the same quality<\/td>\n<td>Higher<\/td>\n<td>Significantly lower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certificate<\/td>\n<td>GIA, IGI and others<\/td>\n<td>IGI, GIA and others<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"l-price\">How much do lab-grown diamonds cost?<\/h2>\n<p>For the same size and quality, a lab-grown diamond costs significantly less than a natural one, so with lab-grown engagement rings the budget stretches to a larger stone. In our catalog they start at around \u20ac1,370, and even the most expensive designs stay under \u20ac10,000.

In the lab, diamonds can be grown in pink, blue, yellow, green and orange-red.

The grades are:<\/p>\n<div class=\"vcg-scroll\">\n<table class=\"vcg-sizes\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Grade<\/th>\n<th>What it means<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Faint, Very Light, Light<\/td>\n<td>a barely noticeable tint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy Light<\/td>\n<td>a light, delicate color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy<\/td>\n<td>a clearly visible color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy Intense<\/td>\n<td>a strong, saturated color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy Vivid<\/td>\n<td>the strongest, purest color \u2013 the top grade<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy Deep<\/td>\n<td>a saturated, darker color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fancy Dark<\/td>\n<td>a dark color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The report gives the grade together with the color, for example Fancy Intense Pink or Fancy Vivid Orange Red. When the color is described with two words, the last one is the main color and the first is the secondary tint. For the same size, a more saturated color means a rarer and usually more expensive diamond.<\/p>\n<p>With lab-grown diamonds, the color comes about during growth \u2013 for example, traces of boron give a blue color and nitrogen a yellow one \u2013 or through treatment after growth. The report states this too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vcg-cta\"><a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/exclusive-jewelry\/\">Exclusive colored diamond jewelry<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Which should you choose?<\/h2>\n<p>Choose a <strong>natural diamond<\/strong>, if uniqueness and the feeling that your stone was created by nature matter to you. Choose a <strong>lab-grown diamond<\/strong>, if you want a higher-grade stone for the same budget. Either way, brilliance depends above all on the cut \u2013 which is why we hand-select every stone, whatever its origin.<\/p>\n<h2>Lab-grown and natural diamonds at VALENTIN Gold &amp; Diamonds<\/h2>\n<p>We make jewelry with lab-grown and natural diamonds, in 14K or 18K gold.
