The creation of diamonds in a lab setting has a fascinating history. This article will explore the major developments that led to the first successful production of diamonds using high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) technology over 60 years ago. In the late 19th century, scientists first theo   Read More>

While HPHT diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in most visual aspects, specialized detection methods can identify their lab-grown origins. Jewelers and gemologists use the following approaches: Spectroscopy - HPHT diamonds exhibit different spectral patterns under infrared or ultraviolet ligh   Read More>

The perceived value and desirability of lab-grown diamonds depends heavily on effective marketing and messaging. Here are some strategies jewelry brands can leverage when promoting lab diamonds:For Consumers Emphasize ethical and sustainable origins over mined diamonds, which can have environmen   Read More>

As technology for creating diamonds through High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) processes has matured, the quality and characteristics of the resulting gems have improved dramatically. Today, HPHT diamonds match or even exceed the properties of naturally mined diamonds. Let's examine some key qu   Read More>

While lab-grown diamonds have the same material and chemical composition as natural diamonds, they require specialized quality assessment to account for differences in growth patterns and imperfections. This article will examine lab diamond evaluation best practices. Cut – Like mined diamonds, th   Read More>
