1. Diamond Seed Selection
A crucial step in crafting Lab Grown Diamonds is selection of flawless seed (generally type IIA) . Better the seeds , Better the growing. These seeds are meticulously arranged on a metal disk in the growing chamber.
Diamond Growing Process
2. Chamber Reaction
Hydrocarbons and Hydrogen are introduced in the growing chamber now. Gases reacts with Rf generating a plasma field leading to formation of carbon atoms.
3. Diamond Rough Growing
In about 3-4weeks the emitted carbon atom gets crystallized over the mother seed- LAYER BY LAYER , leading to generation of “ROUGH DIAMONDS”. These Rough diamonds acquire the same chemical , physical and optical properties as that of mined diamonds.
4. Cutting and Polishing
The Rough diamonds further goes into Cutting , Polishing & Quality check for Color , Clarity , Carat and Cut.
5. Quality Check & Certification
The best of the best diamonds are further graded by laboratories like GIA, IGI, or GCAL to ensure quality and authenticity before being sold.
