It does cost money to grow a diamond in the lab, but a lot less money than mining. Therefore, Rare Carat is able to pass the savings onto you the consumer. I will outline some of the savings below, and they will surprise you.

2-carat cushion Natural $19,339 Lab-Grown $4,158

This is amazing and means Rare Carats Diamonds Guide, allows the purchaser to buy a 3-carat lab-grown diamond for almost the same price as a 1-carat natural diamond. When making your Diamond Jewelry selection you really won’t be able to tell the difference between natural and lab-grown as the difference is not discernable with the naked eye. Even the Gemologist needs to look through his glass to tell the difference, and this is discerned by the inclusions that he sees in the molecules through the microscope.

Inclusions

The lab-grown diamond has different inclusions to the mined diamond and mainly contains metal inclusions that are found in the growth solutions.

When a diamond is exposed to UV light, after treatment, it can glow a different color. usually blue or orange, this is phosphorescence and you will see it in many lab-grown diamonds.

Another tint that occurs is blue, due to the mineral boron being used in trace amounts in the growing chamber to remove excess nitrogen. The GIA does not list this in their reports, as usually when the stone is cut and set, the blue tinge is only visible in certain lights.

Post Growth Treatment

Rare Carats Diamonds Guide includes information about post-growth treatment for the lab-grown diamond. Because the diamond is nearly pure carbon it comes out of the growing chamber looking square and charred. 70% of all CVD diamonds that are grown in a chemical vapor deposition chamber come out with a brown or yellow tint, and they are sent off for cleaning and polishing using the HPHT process to remove some of the colors. High-pressure high-temperature cleaning allows the color to remain stable on completion. The post-growth treatment will be listed on your diamond grading report to give you full information about your diamond. More people are turning to lab-grown diamonds, as they see them as an environmentally friendly option to mining. Another thing to think about when checking the Rare Carat Diamonds Guide.

Conclusion

Once you have chosen the right stone, the rest is easy. The Gemologist helps you decide on the setting and then the client proceeds to the checkout where he/she pays for the ring using PayPal or cards. The ring will be shipped to your home on completion, and you will need to sign for it.
