There are load of factors to think about when choosing a natural and lab grown diamonds. I'm making this blog to give you the information that you need to decide if you would prefer Natural or Lab grown diamonds.
How are Natural diamonds made:
Natural diamonds are made up of billions of carbon atoms and most were formed between one to three billion years ago. They are made deep below the earth's surface under intense heat and high pressure. Due to natural diamonds being made deep below the earth's surface the mining process isn't good for the environment, as it can result in destruction of land and release of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.
How are Lab grown diamonds made:
Lab grown diamonds are created using two main technologies and they are high pressure high temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). HPHT mimics the natural process of diamond formation with high heat and pressure. While CVD involves breaking down carbon rich gases into carbon atoms, that deposit onto a substrate forming a diamond. Lab grown diamonds are a eco-friendly alternative with them having a lower carbon footprint. At the moment lab grown diamonds a in fashion, as a more ethical option to natural diamonds.
Also, there are a lot of similarities between natural and lab-grown diamonds. One of them is their match in hardness and durability, making both of them suitable for everyday wear. You can also get lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds in a variety of different colours like yellow, blue, pink and more...
The main difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds is the cost. Natural diamonds are more expensive than lab-grown diamonds, but they tend to hold their value or appreciate, whereas lab-grown diamonds are cheaper to buy and tend to depreciate in value over time.
Overall, there are pros and cons to both lab-grown and natural diamonds. But it is all a matter of personal preference as to what you want to buy. I hope this blog about natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds has helped you, but if you have any questions, please message me.
