The process to create a lab-grown diamond is similar to the process to create natural diamonds–the only difference is one occurs within the earth’s crust over millions of years and the other occurs in a laboratory. To create a lab grown diamond, the manufacturing process replicates conditions that create a natural diamond creation–extreme temperatures and pressures that turn carbon into a diamond.
It is thought diamonds were first discovered in India around 2,500 years ago. Diamonds were prized as divine objects by Indian rulers. Until the 18th century, India was thought to be the only source of diamonds. Today, diamonds are mined from Russia, Botswana, Canada, Angola, and South Africa.

Diamonds are evaluated using color, cut, carat and clarity scales, so review this information before shopping for stones. Grading determines the diamond’s quality and affects the look of the stone. A good cut affects the diamond’s brilliance (sparkle), so you’ll want to look at each potential stone carefully. The color, carat, and clarity depend on your budget and preferences. Every diamond is unique, so keep that in mind while you browse these coveted gemstones.
In addition to their meaning and beauty, diamonds are an ideal choice for everyday wear because of their durability and hardness (10 on the Mohs hardness scale).
Natural diamonds and lab-created diamonds are both made of carbon and look the same because each has its own natural imperfections, but differences cannot be seen by the naked eye. The certification of the diamond is the best way to know if the diamond is lab created or natural.

In addition to storing your bracelet safely, you’ll also want to clean everyday debri and grime from it. Avoid harsh chemicals and instead use a soft-bristled brush with a fragrance-free soap or a jewelry cleaning solution to gently move the brush in circles to remove buildup. You can also soak your jewelry before using a brush.
A “D” grade color diamond is completely colorless. The diamond will not show signs of any color–even under magnification. Almost as perfect as grade D diamonds, Grade E and F diamonds look colorless to the naked eye.
No, diamonds do not yellow with age. It's impossible to change a diamond's chemical makeup, so it can't change color over time. The color a diamond is graded with initially will be its color forever.
