Lab Created Diamonds

Lab-Created Diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as earth mined diamonds. The same skilled cutters that facet earth mined stones also cut Lab-Created Diamonds.

“They are diamonds.” The only difference is where they come from.

type IIa diamonds
Type IIa diamonds are rare!
Less than 2% of all mined diamonds
can be classfied as Type IIa.
 

A diamond’s crystal structure is formed from a single element: carbon. Typically
a diamond is 99.95% pure carbon and 0.05% trace elements, or
impurities, that aren’t part of its essential chemistry.

Both Lab-Created and mined diamonds are scientifically classified by “type”.
The “type” is determined by the level and variety of the chemical
impurities present in the diamond crystal.

Type IIa diamonds lack these chemical impuites and they also tend to have fewer inclusions;
making them the purest form of diamond available.
