- Carbon seed: graphite, serves as the basis for the crystal lattice structure of the diamond.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). The two main methods used to grow diamonds in a lab - Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). CVD involves depositing hydrocarbon gases onto a substrate at high temperatures, causing the carbon atoms to precipitate out and form a diamond layer. HPHT, mimics the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed by applying extreme heat and pressure to a carbon source until it crystallizes into a diamond. Both methods require careful control over temperature, pressure, and gas composition to produce high-quality gemstones.
