    Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Good or Bad for the Planet?

    Lab-grown diamonds are grown in an artificial setting, mimicking the natural creation of diamonds below the earth’s surface.  Carbon atoms are layered to build up a crystal structure in a lab, and grown using a high-pressure, high-temperature method. Lab-grown diamonds don’t require huge holes to be drilled into the ground using this process, which creates deforestation, water pollution, and wildlife destruction.

    A Beginner's Guide to Lab Grown Diamonds

    The rising concerns about the underlying problems of diamond mining are affecting individuals and businesses in their purchase choices. Indeed, mined diamonds are associated with violence, conflicts, human rights abuses, labour exploitations, and environmental devastation. All things considered, diamonds are far from remaining a girl’s best friend.

    At first glance, you may not spot any difference. However, there are significant disparities in features and appearance between both diamonds. Strains in the crystal structure occur more commonly in natural diamonds, which in turn causes imperfections in the purity of the precious stone. As man-made diamonds are created in a laboratory environment, flaws can be avoided – so the diamond is clearer and brighter in appearance.

    Some sources may refer to lab-grown diamonds as being ‘fake’, ‘imitation’ or a ‘simulant’, but this is actually incorrect. The reason for this common misunderstanding is that the vast majority of lab-grown diamonds are chemically and physically the same as a natural diamond that is produced by the geological processes of time and Mother Nature.  In comparison moissanite and cubic zirconia which to the untrained naked eye both look similar to diamonds, in fact exhibit very different chemical and physical properties, and therefore are in fact imitation or simulant diamonds. Here at Reve Diamonds we like all our valued customers to be equipped with the right knowledge that allows them to make the right purchasing decision based on the correct facts about diamonds.
