Lab Grown Diamond Education: Growth Methods

Growth Methods

High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT): Mimicking the earth's natural diamond-forming conditions, this method produces gem-quality diamonds by subjecting a diamond seed to extreme pressures and temperatures.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A more recent advancement, CVD diamonds grow in a vacuum chamber from carbon-containing gas, crystallizing over weeks. This method typically requires additional treatments to enhance color.
