Lab Diamond Women's Wedding Band

The Emergence of Lab Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds, have two types of advanced technologies that replicate the natural process of diamond formation: high pressure, high temperature (HPHT), and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

• High Pressure, High Temperature: This process simulates the Earth's mantle by heating carbon to approximately 1500°C and applying a pressure of about 15 million pounds per square inch. HPHT was the original method for growing lab-created diamonds and is still heavily in use today.
  
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): The process involves placing a small diamond seed in a chamber filled with some carbonated gas, like methane. The gas is ionized into plasma to let carbon atoms bind to the seed and form a layer of diamond until it reaches the desired thickness. It might bear more controlled growth of diamond and, therefore, result in less imperfection.

The technology to create lab-grown diamonds has actually been around since the 1950s, but some recent technological developments now allow them to be produced at a price point that makes them economically feasible for jewelry making. With large reductions in the cost of manufacturing, combined with larger supplies in the system, lab diamonds are an attractive proposition for the newly aware buyer coming in to make a purchase.

Advantages of Lab Diamond Wedding Bands

Ethical and Environmental Considerations:

• Avoid human rights abuses related to natural diamond mining.
• Aversion of environmental impacts, including deforestation and water pollution.

• Has the same chemical and physical property as diamonds.
• A person can afford a bigger or higher quality stone within one's budget

Variety and Quality:

• It comes in various shapes: Round Brilliant, Princess, Emerald etc. and colors such as blue, pink, and yellow.
• Fewer inclusions, and clarity is comparatively higher due to controlled growth processes

Sustainability:

• More sustainable than mined diamonds.
• It will reduce energy use and carbon emissions. The production process may involve recycled carbon, hence contributing to a closed loop economy.

Lab-created diamond wedding bands come in many forms, including the following:

• Classic Bands: A band made from smooth metal or with small diamonds set into the band, classic and simple. Platinum, gold, and white gold are used in the metals.

• Three-Stone Bands: A band with three diamonds that symbolizes the past, the present, and the future; thus, it is such a meaningful design.
• Bezel Bands: In such bands, diamonds are set within a rim of metal; it's a modern and very secure way of setting.
• Split Shank Bands: The band forks into two or more strands near the center diamond to create interest. Custom-designed bands: They are created according to personal taste and come with unique engravings and designs.
• Colored Diamond Bands: These feature diamonds that come in colors such as blue, pink, or yellow, distinguishing them from others.
• Stackable Bands: Narrow bands are designed to be worn in combinations, yielding versatility and personalization.
• Contemporary Bands: These bands give way to modern designs, innovative settings, and unconventional shapes.
