CVD diamonds are more affordable than mined diamonds due to their synthetic nature. The price of CVD diamonds varies depending on their size, quality, and type of CVD diamond. This makes them ideal for a wider range of customers and uses. CVD diamonds are also man-made. Therefore, they are free of any traces of nitrogen or boron that might have been present in the environment during their formation. This makes their color and clarity more stable and consistent. Additionally, CVD diamonds tend to be more optically pure and colorless compared to mined diamonds, which makes them more attractive to diamond buyers. CVD diamonds are also known for their uniformity, making them perfect for use in industrial applications such as grinding, drilling, and cutting tools.
The CVD HPHT diamond, also known as a (High-Pressure High-Temperature) synthetic diamond, is the closest to natural diamonds in terms of its chemical makeup and physical structure. It is created by placing a diamond seed into a pressurized chamber and then subjecting it to very high temperatures. The extreme pressure and temperature cause the diamond to take on a more solid crystalline form. The process of growing HPHT diamonds requires specialized equipment and is a more costly process than other forms. CVD lab-grown diamonds are created in a CVD diamond factory through advanced technologies in a controlled environment. This process produces diamonds with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as those found in nature, but at a much lower cost. Lab-grown CVD diamonds are typically classified as either HPHT lab-grown diamonds or CVD synthetic diamonds. The choice of a CVD diamond will depend on budget, preference, and use.
