Lab grown diamonds have been making its waves ever since its first arrival, and have successfully garnered attraction amongst jewellery enthusiasts and casual consumers alike. And understandably so, seeing as how they offer an attractive alternative that rivals the quality of their mined counterparts.
If you’re new to lab grown diamonds, here’s a brief rundown to get you started. Lab grown diamonds are procured mainly via two processes: High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Small diamond seeds will be placed in either HPHT diamond machines or CVD chambers to fully bloom into mature diamonds. Despite the difference in origin, lab grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds, which renders their physical and optical attributes equal to that of their natural counterparts as well! However, since there is no mining involved, one could also say that they offer a sustainable, ethically and environmentally-friendly solution – labels that don’t sit quite well with mined diamonds.
If you’ve been wanting to add a stunning ring to your collection, here are the best 5 jewellery ateliers in Singapore that offer beautiful lab diamond rings.
