Lab grown diamonds are indistinguishable from naturally occurring diamonds in their chemical composition, molecular structure, and visual appearance. They are produced in a laboratory environment, employing the same principles of heat and pressure that lead to the formation of diamonds deep within the Earth's crust, using a diamond seed to facilitate the growth of additional diamond layers. Ultimately, rough lab diamonds are shaped into the same dazzling forms as their naturally mined counterparts to make equally beautiful lab grown diamond engagement rings.

Diamonds mined from the Earth are generally considered natural diamonds. When subjected to temperature and pressure, carbon deposits within the Earth form natural diamonds. The precise time required for a diamond to form is unknown, ranging from mere days, weeks, or months to extended periods spanning millions or even billions of years. This variance is because diamond formation is not a continuous process. There may be interruptions caused by changes in temperature or pressure, leading to pauses that could last over extensive periods.

Colored diamonds, also known as fancy diamonds, exhibit discernible body colors when observed from the top. This spectrum of colors spans red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, steel gray, brown, white, and black. The most commonly seen are brown and yellow. Despite the range of elements and chemicals used in their creation, all colored diamonds, whether natural or lab grown, share a similar formation process and look stunning in the form of colored diamond engagement rings.
