LABORATORY  GROWN  DIAMONDS

Synthetic diamonds, also referred to as "man-made", "lab-grown" or "created" diamonds, are diamonds manufactured in a laboratory - as opposed to natural diamonds, which form naturally within our Earth.

The acute shortage of industrial quality diamonds, mainly used in a variety of industrial applications, has been improved in part by the advent of synthetic diamonds. These have been manufactured by a range of different technological processes for over half a century. However, in recent years it has become technologically possible to produce gem-quality synthetic diamonds of commercially significant size and weight.
Picture
At present, the annual production of gem quality synthetic diamonds is only a few thousand carats, whereas the total production of natural diamonds is around 120 million carats per annum. Nearly all synthetic diamonds are fancy-colored; mostly yellow, orange, blue, and, very occasionally, colorless to near-colorless.
​
The
IDR Laboratory issues diamond reports for natural diamonds, which form naturally within the Earth and will not issue a report for lab grown diamonds. This step is taken in the interest of clear delineation for consumers - Gemstones should only change hands when accompanied by a certificate attesting to quality. Regardless of location or marketplace, an authentic IDR is the common language of trust and confidence in the gemological world.
