How does a lab diamond grow and would it look like a fake?

How does a lab diamond "Grow"?

 After 15 days, a square slice about 0.3 millimeters thick is transformed into a 1-carat man-made diamond. As the time of deposition grows, so does the size of the lab diamond.

 The staff carefully places several cleaned, quadrangular slices (Seeds), approximately 0.3 mm thick, evenly on the molybdenum tray of the equipment's sample table. After the equipment is started, an appropriate amount of process gas is filled into the vacuum cavity where the seeds are located.

 In the presence of microwave plasma, methane is ionized and decomposed into carbon and hydrogen atoms. "The carbon atoms will be slowly deposited onto the seeds, growing layer by layer.

 Under the "Careful Care" of the staff , the crystals, which are 7mm long and 7mm wide, grow into rough diamonds of about 4 carats in 15 days. After laser cutting, grinding and polishing by the staff, a 1 carat high-quality lab grown diamond "Grows".

 During the "growth" of the seeds, the staff will observe the growth through the window of the vacuum chamber and monitor the technical parameters of the production equipment at all times.

 "If there is a defect on the surface of the crystal, we will stop the machine and remove the crystal to treat it, and then put it back into the machine for growth." Obviously, different seed sizes and deposition times produce rough diamonds of different sizes.

 The cultivation process for growing diamonds is a sophisticated and fascinating technological advancement. A diamond seed is placed in a culture bin, and the seed is gradually grown to form a crystalline diamond by means of microwaves and other discrete chemical vapor deposition. This process can take weeks, and the resulting diamond has the same physical and chemical properties as those formed underground, including hardness, refractive index, and optical properties.

 In the future, Messigems will focus on the overall innovation layout of the industry chain, and do careful thinking on the strong chain layout of the front-end, middle-end and back-end of the industry chain.
