Why Evaglow Lab Grown Diamonds Are the Smart Choice for Your Jewellery
What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are authentic diamonds created in advanced laboratory settings. They share the same chemical composition, optical properties, and hardness as natural diamonds. Unlike diamonds formed over millions of years deep in the Earth, lab grown diamonds are produced within weeks or months using precise scientific methods.
Evaglow’s lab grown diamonds are carefully crafted to offer the same sparkle, fire, and brilliance as mined diamonds, making them a responsible and stunning choice for fine jewellery.
How Lab Grown Diamonds Are Made
Lab grown diamonds begin as tiny carbon seeds, which grow into full diamonds using one of two advanced methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
This method recreates the intense heat and pressure conditions found deep within the Earth. A diamond seed is placed in a chamber and subjected to extreme heat and pressure, causing carbon atoms to crystallize around the seed and form a diamond.
CVD Diamonds:
In this process, a diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gases. The gases are broken down using heat, and carbon atoms slowly accumulate on the seed, layer by layer, until the diamond reaches the desired size. Some diamonds undergo additional treatments for enhanced quality.
Both techniques produce genuine diamonds that are identical to mined diamonds in appearance, durability, and brilliance. After growth, diamonds are cut, polished, and set into exquisite Evaglow jewellery pieces.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real?
Absolutely. Lab grown diamonds are genuine diamonds. Common misconceptions include:
- They are fake diamonds: False. Evaglow lab diamonds are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds.
- They are less durable: False. Lab diamonds are just as hard as mined diamonds, scoring 10 on the Mohs scale.
- They look different: False. Without specialized equipment, even experts cannot visually distinguish them.
- They are flawless: False. Like natural diamonds, lab diamonds can have natural inclusions.
The main difference lies in origin: lab diamonds are grown in labs, while natural diamonds form in the Earth over millions of years.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
| Feature | Lab Grown Diamond | Natural Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Mohs 10 – just as hard and scratch-resistant as natural diamonds | Mohs 10 – equally hard and durable for everyday wear |
| Brilliance | Same refractive index – sparkles and reflects light like natural diamonds | Same refractive index – offers the same fire and brilliance |
| Color | Colorless or vivid hues – can be created in a range of vibrant colors | Colorless or rare natural colors like pink, yellow, blue |
| Grading | Evaluated on cut, color, clarity, and carat – same quality standards | Graded on cut, color, clarity, and carat – standard for mined diamonds |
| Certification | Verified by SGL,IGI, GIA, or other labs – guarantees authenticity | Certified by IGI, GIA, or other labs – ensures quality and authenticity |
| Origin | Lab-grown in weeks – created using advanced technology | Formed deep in the Earth over millions of years – mined and processed |
| Rarity | Can be produced in controlled quantities – widely available | Limited by natural geological conditions – rarer and more exclusive |
| Price | More affordable – same quality at a lower cost | Generally higher – reflects rarity and mining costs |
Can You Spot the Difference?
Lab grown and natural diamonds are nearly impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. Only gemologists using advanced tools can detect subtle differences:
Growth Patterns: Lab diamonds may show unique crystal formations.
Inclusions: Lab diamonds can have metallic or lab-related inclusions, while natural diamonds may contain mineral inclusions.
Laser Marks: Many lab diamonds are inscribed with microscopic marks indicating their origin.
Advantages of Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab grown diamonds are ideal for buyers seeking elegance, sustainability, and value. Benefits include:
- Eco-Friendly: Evaglow lab diamonds are created responsibly, with minimal environmental impact compared to traditional mining.
- Authenticity: They offer the same brilliance, durability, and beauty as natural diamonds.
- Color Variety: Evaglow provides stunning hues like pink, yellow, and blue, often at more accessible prices than naturally colored diamonds.
