Are lab-created diamonds real diamonds?

Laboratory-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds rather than simulants such as cubic zirconia. They share diamond’s core chemical, physical and optical properties, while specialist gemmological testing can identify their growth origin.

Cremation Diamonds from Heart In Diamond are Authentic Diamonds

One of the most common questions we receive about into lab grown diamonds is whether or not they are real diamonds. We’re proud to inform you that: Yes! The memorial diamonds from Heart In Diamond are authentic, laboratory-grown diamonds.

In terms of chemical and physical properties, one of our funeral diamonds is identical to a diamond from De Beers that required extensive mining and destruction of the earth in order to become available to you.

Origin is the Only Difference Between a Diamond Grown in a Lab vs a Diamond Grown Underground

Laboratory-grown diamonds share diamond’s core chemical and physical properties, while specialist testing can identify their growth origin. Each Heart In Diamond order includes the current Certificate of Authenticity, and optional independent certification may also be available.

The only difference that exists is the processes used to make the diamond. At Heart In Diamond, we use the HPHT (high-pressure, high-temperature) method to grow memorial diamonds.

The other process used to create laboratory diamonds is known as the CVD (chemical vapour deposition) method. Both of these processes begin with a pure carbon sample and are capable of producing real diamonds that can even be tougher and more beautiful that a typical mined-diamond.
