The use of diamond engagement rings has become increasingly popular as people value diamonds more as a symbol of eternal love to their loved ones. A new lab-grown diamond known as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) has emerged due to the increased demand for diamonds. The locally sourced and affordable CVD diamond has become more popular, and its demand is growing at an alarming rate.
If you are curious to know whether CVD diamond is the right choice for you, keep reading this post, and you will be able to make an informed decision regarding the precious forever adornment.
What Are CVD Diamonds?
The widely popular CVD diamonds emerged in the market about a decade ago. They are formed through chemical vapor deposition, unlike the natural and HPHT lab diamonds. Without strong magnification, you cannot easily differentiate between CVD and natural diamonds with naked eyes.
According to GIA, the CVD formation process involves introducing a gas such as methane into a vacuum chamber and breaking down the gas molecules under a microwave, causing carbon atoms to substrate-like snowfall.
Are CVD Diamonds Real Diamonds?
Although lab-grown, CVD diamonds have the same physical structure as natural diamonds. Also, during the formation process, CVD diamonds are cut in the same shape and painted similarly to natural diamonds. In addition, CVD is certified and graded like natural diamonds according to; color, cut, clarity, and carat (4Cs). Gemological Institute of America has been grading CVD since 2007, giving each stone an outstanding value and quality.
Are All Lab-Grown Diamonds CVD Diamonds?
As earlier stated, there are also HPHT (High-Pressure High Temperature) diamonds lab-made. The HPHT diamonds are made from carbon material exposed to high pressure and temperature with unique apparatus that can withstand the pressure and heat.
Why CVD Diamonds?
Here are reasons why CVD diamond demand is excruciating:
- Great price point.
- Conflict-free as natural diamond extraction is associated with social evils.
- Unlike natural diamonds, a tiny environmental footprint is associated with disrupting landscapes, wildlife, and habitats.
- Fewer waste emissions.
