Why lab grown diamonds

Lab Grown diamonds have become an increasingly popular choice for engagement rings and jewellery. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, optically and physically identical to natural diamonds. The simple difference is lab grown diamonds have been made in a laboratory using CVD and HPHT technology over the course of days and weeks. In comparison natural mined diamonds take thousands of years to produce in the earths mantle. Due to the difference in the two processes this means that lab grown diamonds are significantly cheaper than a natural mined diamond.
