What is a Lab-Grown Diamond?
Sustainability is a core part of our mission and lab-grown diamond engagement rings fit in perfectly. We offer SCS-certified sustainability rated lab-grown diamonds made with solar power!
What is a sustainability rated diamond?
SCS sustainability rated diamonds must meet five pillars to achieve certification: verified origin traceability, ethical stewardship, sustainable production process, a net zero carbon footprint and investments in sustainability.
We are thrilled to be an authorized retailer of these certified diamonds, and our supplier goes a step further than these rigorous requirements by growing all of their diamonds in a solar-powered factory! You have the option to choose a standard lab-grown diamond or an SCS sustainability certified diamond.
How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Grown?
They grow from seeds! No joke, lab-grown diamonds are cultivated using tiny seeds of existing diamonds. By mimicking the natural conditions under which diamonds grow, we can use technology to turn those seeds into diamonds, and then into lab grown-diamond engagement rings.
There are two methods of growing a diamond:
1
High Pressure High Temperature
In the High Pressure High Temperature, or HPHT growth process, diamond seeds are placed in carbon and exposed to extreme heat and pressure, essentially replicating the underground conditions that facilitate diamond growth.
2
Chemical Vapor
Deposition
Chemical Vapor Deposition, or CVD diamonds are grown by heating diamond seeds in a chamber with carbon-rich gases. Both methods produce beautiful diamonds.
