Differentiating Natural and Laboratory-Grown Diamonds​

Sponsored by

Over the past few years, laboratory-grown diamonds produced by the high pressure high temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods have become widely available in the gem trade, trading at a lower price point than natural diamonds. These gems have nearly the same chemical, optical and physical properties as natural diamonds, yet a vastly different growth history, providing clues for their separation. In this seminar we will discuss the differences between these two diamond products, including methods to screen and distinguish them.
