What are lab grown stones?
Laboratory-grown stones are diamonds and gemstones created in a laboratory mimicking natural growing conditions. These exact processes can vary, but there are 2 main ones: High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
What is the difference between synthetic and lab created stones?
Depending on the process used, synthetic gemstones may even have the same inclusions and flaws found in natural gems. Or, they may have telltale signs they’re synthetic. Gemstones synthesized in a lab that simply imitate natural stones are called simulated gemstones or simulants.
