On the other hand, man made
diamonds are created in laboratories that emulate the same natural conditions to form the
gemstone.
Some people may mistake man made
diamonds or lab created
diamonds as fake
diamonds. However, this is not true. The
diamonds created in a lab have the exact physical and chemical properties as that of natural
diamonds. Scientists use either Chemical Vapor Disposition (CVD) or High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) method to create it.
Natural
diamonds are rare and hard to mine, hence expensive. On the contrary, man made
diamond engagement rings will be an affordable alternative. In fact, man made
diamond engagement rings cost at least 10 to 15% less when compared to natural
diamonds rings.
The main thing about buying lab created
diamonds is that look so similar to
natural
diamonds due to the same physical and chemical properties, that it would be difficult to tell them apart. In addition, naturally occurring
diamonds definitely will have many inclusions, whereas man made
diamonds are nearly flawless due to the strict control in the production process.
GIA certificates are available for these
diamonds too.
