These man-made diamonds are the exact replica of their mined counterpart, which means that they share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/how-are-diamonds-made-in-a-lab/29-11-23%20Friendly%20Diamond%20Product0122%20%281%29%20%281%29.jpg\" alt=\"lab diamonds\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1140\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" title=\"lab diamond jewelry\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/diamond-jewelry\">SHOP LAB DIAMOND JEWELRY\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Lab diamonds are also known as man-made diamonds because they are made in a controlled environment inside a laboratory. These diamonds are considered as cost and environmentally-friendly choice to their mined counterparts.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">HPHT Process\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Did you know that the HPHT process is the original method used for making lab diamonds? The HPHT method is an abbreviation for High Pressure High Temperature this method was introduced in the year 1950. The process is started when a small carbon seed is placed inside, which is then exposed to to high pressure and extreme heat, which replicates the natural conditions in which diamonds are naturally grown. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/how-are-diamonds-made-in-a-lab/htpt%20%281%29.jpg\" alt=\"HPHT method\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1140\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" title=\"lab diamonds\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds\">SHOP loose LAB DIAMONDS\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">In this process, the placed diamond seed is exposed to high temperatures that are up to or over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit with a pressure that is around 1.5 million PSI (pounds per square inch). The carbon melts, forming a diamond around the seed. It is then cooled till the diamond is created. A raw HPHT diamond develops differently from a rough CVD diamond. HPHT diamonds develop into cuboctahedrons, whereas CVD diamonds grow into cube-like structures.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">CVD Process\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The next method that is popularly used in making lab grown diamonds is the CVD method, this method was introduced in the year 1980. This process is similar to the HPHT process but in this process, the diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber, which is then filled with carbon-rich gases and is nearly heated up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">These incredibly high temperatures cause the gas to convert into plasma, resulting in the discharge of carbon particles. These carbon pieces gather on the diamond seed, causing the diamond to develop. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/how-are-diamonds-made-in-a-lab/cvd%20image%20%281%29.jpg\" alt=\"CVD method\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1140\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">As we conclude this article, one thing we would like to tell you is that the choice that you make between choosing a lab diamond made from either \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/hpht-cvd-diamonds\">CVD method or HPTP method\u003C/a> all depends on your preference, budget, and the specifications you need in your selected diamond.  \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">To make an informed decision, we at Friendly Diamonds encourage you to book an online consultation with our experts.
