Choosing a lab-grown diamond offers several advantages: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the same budget, you can get a lab-grown diamond with a larger carat weight than a natural one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lab-grown diamond has the<strong> same permanent luster as a natural diamond<\/strong>. They are<strong> physically, chemically, and visually identical <\/strong>to natural diamonds. Even a gemologist cannot tell them apart (only specialized equipment can distinguish them). The only difference is their origin.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lab-grown diamonds are <strong>internationally certified<\/strong> in exactly the same way as natural diamonds. Both are diamonds. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lab-grown diamond is a diamond. It is chemically, physically, and optically identical to diamonds mined from the earth. <strong>The only difference from natural diamonds is how they are formed or created<\/strong>. A natural diamond forms in the earth over millions of years, while a lab-grown diamond is created in a lab within a few months. Therefore, these are &#8220;real&#8221; diamonds, not diamond imitations like cubic zirconia or moissanite.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds<\/strong>. Lab diamonds are optically, chemically, and physically identical to natural mined diamonds. Demand for these beautiful and sustainable diamonds has risen significantly in recent years thanks to improved technology and methods.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How are lab-grown diamonds made?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Natural diamonds form in the Earth&#8217;s mantle at depths of 150-250 km, where pure carbon crystallizes under intense heat and pressure, rising to the surface through volcanoes.<br\/>In the laboratory, these conditions are mimicked using HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) methods. In HPHT, graphite is melted using electrical pulses, creating a diamond over several weeks. In CVD, an existing diamond is treated with hot carbon gas, which crystallizes. While CVD is faster, it can create internal defects and brownish tones that require post-treatment, sometimes leaving the diamond milky. HPHT diamonds are typically of higher, gemstone quality and rarely require post-treatment.    <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about the new generation of diamonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1238],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lab-grown diamonds - the new generation of diamonds - MATIGOLD<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A lab-grown diamond is an excellent choice if you are looking for an affordable alternative to a natural diamond.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/en\/news\/lab-grown-diamonds-a-new-generation-of-diamonds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lab-grown diamonds - the new generation of diamonds - MATIGOLD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A lab-grown diamond is an excellent choice if you are looking for an affordable alternative to a natural diamond.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/en\/news\/lab-grown-diamonds-a-new-generation-of-diamonds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"MATIGOLD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-06-20T14:15:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-02T16:55:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/laboris-kasvatatud-teemant-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"nd\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"nd\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/en\/news\/lab-grown-diamonds-a-new-generation-of-diamonds\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/en\/news\/lab-grown-diamonds-a-new-generation-of-diamonds\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"nd\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/matikuld.ee\/#\/schema\/person\/bc71195b8a6f806262044ffe449d1b9a\"},\"headline\":\"Lab-grown diamonds &#8211;
