Do you know your lab grown diamonds origins?
As lab grown diamonds are gaining popularity and momentum in the diamond industry, it is important to note how the origins of your diamond affect more than just the quality of the stone. Lab Diamonds are considered to be ethical and environmentally friendly natural diamond alternative but depending on the origin of your stone that is not always the case.
Lab diamonds are an example of innovation and responsibility. To give you a bit of background information there are two methods used for growing these precious gems in a lab: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
High Pressure High Temperature
HPHT, a technique perfected by India and China, has long been the standard in the lab-grown diamond market. However, its environmental impact remains a topic of debate, prompting a shift towards more sustainable practices. HPHT technique also bring about concern of diamond quality.
Chemical Vapor Deposition
Lab-grown diamonds are made using either CVD or HPHT methods — both produce real diamonds, but CVD is known for higher quality and clarity. While countries like China and India rely heavily on coal to power mass production, U.S.-grown diamonds follow stricter standards, use cleaner energy, and offer greater transparency. Choosing a diamond grown in the USA means choosing beauty with integrity.
Why “GROWN IN THE USA” Certification Matters
Each CVD diamond grown by our factory proudly bears a 'Made in USA' label—a symbol of excellence and authenticity. This label is not just a mark of quality; it's a testament to the diamond's distinct character, backed by an International Gemological Institute (IGI) certificate that assures its origin and superior craftsmanship.
How does a diamond receive the “Grown In the USA" Certification?
The IGI “Made in USA” certification—the gold standard for lab-grown diamonds—is awarded only to factories meeting strict regulations. Most importantly, the diamond must be fully traceable from rough to polished, with a unique serial number tracking each step of its journey. This transparency ensures authenticity and quality you can trust.
Why opt for a Made in the USA stone?
From the stones brilliance to the greener practices, there are many reasons to consider shopping only US made lab grown diamonds. Diamonds produced in the USA are known for their superior quality control, rigorous processes, and strict environmental standards that ensure each diamond is not only higher quality but also produced in a cleaner more sustainable manner.
