Lab-Grown Diamonds vs Mined Diamonds: Ethics, Price, & Optical Purity

100% Real Diamonds Grown with Science

A diamond is defined by its physical, chemical, and optical properties: carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice with a Mohs hardness of 10 and a refractive index of 2.417. Whether grown deep within the earth or in a high-tech diamond lab, the diamond is identical.

1. The CVD Process Explained

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) uses pure carbon gas in a vacuum chamber heated to extreme plasma temperatures. Carbon atoms settle layer by layer onto a diamond seed crystal, growing pure Type IIa solitaires.

2. Verified Certification

Every RareCut Vault diamond is certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute), verifying cut, clarity, color, and origin.
