Lab diamonds in Canada,Toronto are visually, molecularly and chemically identical to mined diamonds.Unlike diamond alternatives like cubic zirconia, moissanite, and other simulates, lab grown diamonds are not a ‘diamond lookalike’. They are real diamonds.
In terms of appearance, hardness (10 out of 10), durability and beauty – lab grown diamonds are exactly the same as mined diamonds. The only physical difference is their origin.
Lab Diamond Shapes and Sizes
Lab diamonds are cut in a variety of shapes and sizes, just like mined diamonds. Based on popularity, more traditional shapes like round and oval lab diamonds are often more readily available, while fancy shapes like emerald cuts and marquise can be more difficult to source.Melee diamonds (the term used for the small diamonds used in pavé and halos) can also be lab grown. By using lab grown diamond melee, we ensure all diamonds in your ring are of the same origin, and also maximize your budget
How Is A Diamond Created In A Lab
Lab Grown diamonds can be created using different types of technology, including high temperature and pressure, chemical vapour deposition or the sonication of graphite solutions.
High pressure and high heat are the most common methods used. Diamond seeds are placed on a press and then heated to 1,400°C or higher, which melts the metal first. The metal then dissolves the carbon source and is sent to the small seeds to form a larger, cultured diamond.
The use of chemical vapour deposition is another popular method for growing Lab Grown diamonds. There has been substantial laboratory research about this method as it is a simple yet flexible setup that can be used to grow diamonds faster and more affordably. It offers more control over the different chemical impurities that could possibly occur and therefore more control over the properties in the diamonds, including size, shape and colour.
Diamond crystals can also be synthesized from a graphite suspension. This type of diamond would be comparable in cost to a diamond that was created using the aforementioned high pressure and high heat method. It is a simple procedure that requires minimal equipment, but more research is required to reduce operating costs and to improve the efficiency of the operation before it is as commonly used.
lab grown diamonds cost
Manufactured diamonds are priced much more competitively compared to mined diamonds. For a comparable mined diamond, the cost of a lab diamond will be approximately 40% to 60% less expensive. The price will be dependent on the carat size, color, clarity and cut of the diamond primarily.
The Benefits of Lab Grown Diamonds Canada
A diamond that is created in a lab is just as real as a mined diamond. They have the same physical and chemical properties and are grown under the same temperature and pressure conditions, but without the conflict and questionable ethical practices that are common in some diamond mines. In fact, lab created diamonds are often of better quality due to the highly controlled environment and fully monitored process.
Some of the biggest advantages of a lab created diamond include:
1-More beautiful due to better, brighter quality and higher purity
2-Fewer defects
3-Environmentally friendly
4-Greater affordability
5-Colors that are rarely found in nature can be created, making unique and coveted pieces more obtainable
6-Trackable origin sources allow you to source diamonds from reputable places that don’t engage in poor treatment of workers or communities
Lab created diamonds are grown through a sustainable process using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), making it easier to keep up with demand without sacrificing quality or engaging in harmful processes or conflicts.
