Diamonds have always been seen as a symbol of status, a presentation of love, and are more than capable of making a statement. That being said, the diamond-mining industry has come under scrutiny in recent years. There are a couple of main reasons that diamond mining has garnered a poor reputation, and those pertain to both the environmental and human toll that diamond mining has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In turn, this has made mined diamonds a little less popular, especially among humanitarians and those who are specifically sensitive to environmental and human rights issues. This inspired a group of innovators and inventors to mimic the diamond-formulation environment within a lab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The result was stunning, in more ways than one, and has given a new burst of energy into a modernized diamond market that doesn’t have to be nearly as cruel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lab-grown diamonds, as described above, are diamonds that are grown in a lab by mimicking the same environmental circumstances diamonds need to be produced in the crust of the earth; immense pressure and heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the help of technology, labs are able to create the ideal environment needed for dense clusters of carbon to eventually form and grow into diamonds. Because they’re done in a lab, there’s no mining involved which helps to save the environment while also successfully back-pedaling from a relatively unregulated labor market which has drawn a lot of negative press.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some lab-grown diamonds even come from a net-zero emissions foundry, like <\/span>VRAI lab-grown diamonds<\/a>. This is an impressive step forward in the diamond-production industry and has already revolutionized the field in more than one way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As mentioned above, one of the major benefits of a lab-grown diamond is that it’s a much more environmentally sustainable process than diamond mining ever will be. Many times, in order to just create the diamond mine itself, <\/span>entire ecosystems end up being disrupted<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This starts on a micro-level but quickly becomes a problem for the entire surrounding ecosystem. For example, fleas and other insects can often be essentially eradicated from an environment, which directly impacts the small rodents and other animals that feed on such critters. Without a stable food source around, these still small but slightly bigger creatures end up suffering and dying off as well. At that point, even the mid-sized animals in the region have a hard time finding food, which creates a major environmental disruption in that region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By purchasing a mined diamond, consumers are effectively supporting the diamond mining industry and the environmental destruction it causes, whether they intend to or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the first questions consumers ask when they learn about lab-grown diamonds is if the difference is noticeable. The simple answer is absolutely not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The structure of a lab-grown diamond is identical to that of a mined diamond formed in the crust of the earth. To tell the difference, you would need to be a specially trained gemologist equipt with a tool specifically designed to determine this difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To the naked eye, however, lab-grown diamonds are just as beautiful and stunning as their mined counterparts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By opting for a lab-grown diamond, consumers can also save themselves money. The savings come from a variety of sources. First and foremost is the environmental toll that has been discussed several times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Without the labor and mining costs involved, labs can offer consumers diamonds at a much more affordable price. On top of that, because growing diamonds in a lab is a more sustainable process, lab-grown diamonds are slightly more accessible and available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s a Lab-Grown Diamond?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
