What is a CVD Diamond?

CVD diamond is a lab made diamond which created by a process called Chemical vapor Deposition. This method is primarily used for large stones. CVD diamonds are also know as Man made diamonds or Synthetic diamonds.

How CVD diamond create?

CVD diamond grown from a thin slice of a diamond seed. A thin diamond seed is placed inside of a sealed chamber. This process uses ultra-pure-rich carbon gases. Then, with lasers or microwaves, those gases are ionized to molecularly bond the carbon to the seed. After carbon builds up, carbon atoms that accumulate on the crystal and form a diamond. It's a completely identical to a natural diamond.

CVD diamonds and Natural diamonds share the same physical, atomically and chemical properties as their mined counterparts. They also look exactly the same as natural diamonds and are equally as beautiful. Both display the same fire and brilliance when cut as a stone. The only difference between them is one created in lab and the other naturally mined.

Identify CVD Diamond

You can't identify a CVD diamond just looking at it. Without proper tools even jewelers can't differentiate between CVD and Natural diamond. Using some indicators in lab it can be identify whether it's lab grown or natural diamond.

Cost of CVD Diamond

CVD diamonds are less expensive compared to natural diamond. Because they are easily available compared to mined diamond and extremely valuable. Their low cost fulfill consumers desire for larger carat and dazzling Diamond.

If you want to choose or buy CVD diamond, you can go for it. They are less expensive and eco-friendly compared to natural diamond. Both, diamonds are real diamond. If you have any questions or want more guidance, we're always ready to help you.

A Trillion cut diamond are triangle shaped stones (also called "trilliant" or "trillion). It's a bright and lively cut. They are cut with either straight sides or curved sides. A trilliant cut diamond will have three sides of equal length, with a flat table at its surface.
Usually, trilliant cut diamonds are used as accent stones around the center diamond on piece of jewelry, but they can also be set as the main stone. They are quite rare. A well cut trillion with great fire and brilliance can also hide inclusions fairly well.

History: In 1960s, it was created for the first time in the Netherlands. However, early trillion cut diamonds are believed to have been cut in Amsterdam as long ago as the 19th century. In 1970s, the cut had become popular that the term "trillion" was appllied to any Triangular cut diamond. Trillion diamonds work well as side stones to accentuate a variety of diamond shapes but can also look spectacular as a solitaire.

Features: The Trillion cut is a triangular shape comprised of three equal sides and 31 or 50 facets depending on whether the diamonds are used as solitaires or accent stones. For solitaires, a curved or convex cut is employed, whereas accent stones are cut uncurved or concave. Their unique style has great fire and displays sharp brilliance if the stone is cut to the correct depth.

Trilliant cut diamonds are most often used as side stones to complement larger solitaire stones in engagement rings, although they also make for a perfect solitaire stone themselves considering their unparalleled brilliance and fire.

Price: Trillion cut Diamond price is low compared to other diamonds. The price can vary according to their cut, color, clarity, quality, and carat. Diamond price increase if you want a large diamond with more carat.

Solitaire Lab Diamond offers trilliant cut diamonds. If you have any query or want to know more details then kindly contact us on info@solitairelabdiamond.com, or call 1-551-229-6452 to speak to a diamond consultant.

Princess and Cushion cut diamonds are popular and give unique look, which make difficult decision to choose one. Here, we'll talk about the definition, style and price of princess cut and cushion cut diamonds. So, you will find this post is a useful one.

So, the conclusion is both diamonds are lovely choices. If you want stylish look then go for Princess cut, because it has a sharp lines which make it feel fresh and elegant. And if you have traditional choice then go for Cushion cut, because its beauty reminds us of a time gone by. It has a vintage feel.

Buying a diamond makes you confusing sometimes. Here, 1 carat diamond price is different, but both have the same size yet different costs. The Left side Princess cut diamond Price is $1300 and the right side diamond price is $1,400. Because they have different Color, Clarity, and Cut.

1 Carat Princess cut Diamond

Here, We will guide you in buying a diamond.

1) First, Set your budget and Identify the shape you desire to buy.
Diamonds are a symbol of commitment, it doesn't measure how much you are spending. Never pressure yourself into spending more than your comfortable budget.

The most popular cut is Radiant cut and princess cut. If you know your partner's choice then go with that.

2) Is the brand or diamond quality important?

Customers believe that buying a diamond of significantly better quality and size under the same budget is more important than pursuing a brand.

Although the brand has its inherent advantages, in fact, the value of diamonds (including the ability to maintain value) is almost only affected by the grade on the GIA certificate.

Price will vary on where you choose to buy a diamond. If you buy a diamond online then its price is less compared to the stores. When a customer wishes to sell or recycle diamonds in the future, the reclaimed price will be close to the same based on the same grade. If some brands of diamonds do not even have a GIA certificate, they must be sold at a very low price for resale.

3) Quality - We all know that diamonds 4c's are the most important factor: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. If you want to fit lab grown diamond in your budget then you have to know the relation between the Carat, and (Color, Cut, Clarity). They both are vice versa.

If the Lab Grown Diamond has a high cut, color, clarity with a high carat then the price is high and if you choose the low carat with the same cut, color, clarity then the price is low. Below, you can select the 4c's and vary the price.

Lab Grown Diamond

Here, You can see the price will vary on its characteristics and you can easily find a perfect Lab Grown Diamond which fits your budget.

4) Certification - This is the most important step if you spend more than $1,000 on a Lab Grown Diamond. The GIA Certificate will give you peace of mind that you get the right diamond.

Lab Grown Diamonds are created in Lab by applying heat and pressure to a Diamond seed. In a chamber, they provide pressure and 900 and 1200°C heat to a diamond seed. It’s made from highly organized carbon. The chamber is inside the earth’s surface. Around 6–8 weeks take diamonds to form. After that cut, polished and graded are done for that diamond. It’s virtually impossible for the naked eye to tell the difference between Lab grown and natural diamonds.

Here, two different methods used for lab-created diamonds; High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).

HPHT Diamond Process

For The High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): When the HPHT method is used, a small diamond seed is planted in pure carbon, under very high pressure. In that, the machines have the ability to build up the pressure of almost 60k atmospheres and 2,500°C of temperature. It contains all the elements that are needed to grow a diamond here. After melting the carbon, the diamond takes its form. The newly formed diamond takes the cooling process. It requires a controlled environment to produce a better quality diamond. Here, the carbon bonds to it layer by microscopic layer to create a rough diamond crystal which can then be cut and polished into its final form.

CVD Diamond Process

The Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD): The second method, CVD is more modern technology, yet it also starts with a thin slice of a diamond seed. This process uses ultra-pure-rich carbon gases in a controlled chamber. Then, with lasers or microwaves, those gases are ionized to molecularly bond the carbon to the seed. The Chemical vapor deposition is best for 1-3 carat diamonds producing in the J-G range. The CVD diamonds are for improve their color-treated with HPHT. There are some processes of CVD below mentioned: 1) Low-pressure CVD(LPCVD) 2) Ultrahigh vacuum CVD(UHVCVD) 3) Microwave Plasma Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) 4) Plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD).

Lab-created diamonds are inspired by nature and driven by science, it's the earth’s most precious treasures
