Natural Diamonds vs. Lab Grown Diamonds<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

To better understand lab grown diamonds, it\u2019s important to first understand their counterpart: natural diamonds<\/strong>. Natural diamonds are formed within the earth where they are subject to intense pressure over hundreds of years. These ideal conditions transform position carbon atoms into a special lattice structure and turn what can be thought of as \u201craw\u201d carbon material (carbon) into a special structure that we\u2019ve come to know as diamonds.<\/p>\n

Lab grown diamonds<\/strong>, as the name implies, are created in a laboratory setting that mimics the conditions and natural process that earth made diamonds undergo. Carbon \u201cseeds\u201d are subjected to intense pressure under controlled conditions and the resulting product are diamonds.
