Mission
The formation process of Natural Diamonds occurs at depths ranging from approximately 150 km to 700 km, under geologically and mineralogically favorable conditions for the genesis, development, and ascent of crystals. These processes take an extremely long time (we're talking about processes that require billions of years) from formation to extraction in mines. On the other hand, the methods used for the production of Lab-Grown Diamonds involve a period of just a few weeks.
The production processes currently available for the laboratory creation of Lab-Grown Diamonds are the HpHt (High Pressure-High Temperature) method and the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method.
The HpHt process involves the insertion of pure Carbon powder inside a press, with temperatures of around 1300°C - 1600°C and pressures of about 5-6 GPascal. To understand the effect of pressure, imagine the entire weight of a passenger airplane resting on one's fingertip. As for the production costs, it's important to consider that these pressures and temperatures are maintained for a period of approximately 2-4 weeks, during which carbon atoms begin to grow around the seed crystal until the desired carat weight is achieved.

Despite Lab-Grown Diamonds being a product grown in a laboratory and differing in genesis from Natural Diamonds, their chemical and physical characteristics do not substantially differ from the latter. Therefore, hardness, density, refractive index, dispersion, and chemical composition are identical to Natural Diamonds extracted from mines.
Lab-Grown Diamonds are not classified as or considered among existing imitations, such as Corundum, Moissanite, Cubic Zirconia, Fabulite, etc. Instead, they are effectively the direct counterpart of Natural Diamonds, artificially created by humans.
