\"WHY<\/div>\n

This really does seem like a legit question. I mean really, if man is creating these diamonds under strict laboratory settings, then why aren\u2019t they all perfectly free of flaws and inclusions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt really makes you scratch your head<\/strong>, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the truth:<\/h2>\n

\nLab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, the chemical composition and DNA of a lab-created stone versus a diamond made in nature, is identical. There are no variances between them. Side-by-side you would never know which diamond was which<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis is because lab-grown diamonds are grown the exact same way as nature grows, with pure carbon. They use extreme heat and pressure to force diamonds particles to crystallize and grow. Picture ice forming on your windshield, it grows bigger and bigger, expanding out in intricate patterns of flowers and ferns. It\u2019s science at work.<\/p>\n

But growth is not perfect nor consistent.<\/h2>\n

\nInclusions can be formed inside the diamond<\/strong>, meaning you can get white spots, black spots, trapped flux, feathers, remnants, impurities, which all crystallize when the diamond cools. It\u2019s perfectly normal<\/strong>. Unlike diamond lookalikes like CZ\u2019s or synthetics, that are not grown like a real diamond is. These imitations can be perfectly clean and almost transparent like glass. And without inclusions, they just look fake<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAlmost any flaw that can be found in an earth-made diamond can be found in a lab-grown diamond, except for one particular type of inclusion;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gemstones.<\/h2>\n

\nAnother gemstone showing up inside a diamond is an unusual and rare occurrence<\/strong>, but it does happen. In nature, sometimes other gems and minerals get trapped inside a diamond when it forms. Nature is chaotic<\/strong>. Gemstones like red garnet, green peridot, zircon, rutile, and apatite intertwine. These gemstones aren\u2019t present when grown in a laboratory<\/strong>. So you\u2019ll never see anything but other diamond inclusions.<\/p>\n

\nLaboratories still grow flaws, because they\u2019re growing diamonds. But it\u2019s actually just other diamond fragments<\/strong> that grow differently than the surrounding area. Sort of like a knot in a tree<\/strong>. The result is impressive and amazing, and can be graded just like any diamond sourced from a diamond mine. <\/p>\n

\nAnd the higher up the grading chart, the fewer and smaller flaws are found<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nJust like these incredible lab grown diamonds here at James Allen.<\/a> <\/p>\n
