If you’ve been browsing SuperJeweler.com lately, you may have noticed something exciting — our stunning collection of lab grown diamonds. They sparkle just as brilliantly as mined diamonds, yet they come with incredible value and an eco-friendly story. One of the most common questions we hear is: How diamonds are created in lab?
Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible — no confusing science textbook talk, promise.
What Is a Lab Grown Diamond?
Think of lab created diamonds as identical twins to natural diamonds. They’re not “fake” or “imitation” stones — they are real diamonds with the same carbon crystal structure, brilliance, and durability.
The difference lies in where they form. Natural diamonds grow deep within the Earth over billions of years. Lab created diamonds, on the other hand, grow inside advanced laboratories where experts replicate the Earth’s natural diamond-making conditions.

The Two Main Methods of Creating Lab Diamonds
When jewelers grow diamonds in labs, they use two main processes. Both methods produce diamonds that look, shine, and last exactly like mined diamonds.
How HPHT Diamonds Grow
The HPHT process copies the environment deep inside the Earth. Technicians place a tiny “diamond seed” in carbon and apply extreme heat and pressure. Under those conditions, the carbon melts and crystallizes around the seed, forming a larger diamond.
Curious about the technical side? We’ve already demystified the process in more detail.
How CVD Diamonds Grow
The CVD method feels futuristic. Experts place a thin diamond seed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gas. Heat and microwaves break the gas apart, and carbon atoms attach to the seed layer by layer. Over time, the diamond grows atom by atom until it’s ready to sparkle.
