Cultured
diamond is simply those that are made in the controlled environment of a laboratory than from natural geological processes of mined
diamonds. Nowadays, more buyers are choosing cultured
diamond rings owing to their many benefits over natural
diamonds.
The technology behind has progressed so much that it is now virtually impossible to tell apart a natural
diamond from a cultured
diamond when they are kept together. Choosing cultured diamonds engagement rings, however, has one major benefit of lessening the impact and
degradation of the environment. Purchasing cultured
diamond rings is one way to eradicate the prevailing issue of conflict
diamonds.
Currently, cultured
diamonds are made using two methods known as the HPHT (High-Pressure High Temperature) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition). These methods can create cultured
diamonds having the same or extended properties of a natural
diamond. Certain features like coloring can be artificially induced to create colored stones for use in various
engagement rings. Besides, various other properties of the
diamond, such as its durability and heat and thermal conductivity, can also be enhanced with a cultured
diamond. This makes it useful for incorporating in different
ring settings and
designs.
