Lab grown diamond vs Silicon wafers As a semiconductor a lab-grown diamond can run five times hotter than silicon hotter without degrading in performance. It is also more easily cooled, with 22 times the heat transfer efficiency of silicon. In November, 2023, Diamond Foundry (DF) produced the world’s first 100mm single-crystal diamond wafer. However their […]

Testing Diamonds Testing diamonds to determine their authenticity and quality involves several methods, each targeting specific properties of diamonds. Here’s a detailed overview of diamond testing techniques: Visual Inspection 1. Loupe Examination: Using a 10x magnification jeweler’s loupe to inspect for inclusions, blemishes, and overall clarity. 2. Fog Test: Breathing on the diamond to see

Significance of Diamond Jewelry Diamonds hold significant value and symbolism across various cultures and contexts. Here are some key aspects of their significance: Historical Significance 1. Ancient Symbolism: In ancient times, diamonds were believed to have mystical and healing properties. They were used as talismans to ward off evil and bring good fortune. 2. Royal

Why Lab Grown Diamonds Lab-grown and natural diamonds are identical in many ways but have distinct differences in their origin, cost, environmental impact, and sometimes even in their physical and chemical characteristics. Here are the main differences: ### Origin – **Lab-Grown Diamonds: Created in a laboratory using High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor

How are Lab Grown Diamonds Made? Lab-grown diamonds are created using two primary methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Here’s a detailed look at each process: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Method 1. Seed Diamond Placement: A small diamond seed is placed in a chamber. 2. Applying High Pressure and

Manufacturing of Natural Diamonds Natural diamonds are formed through geological processes over billions of years. Here’s an overview of the natural diamond formation process: Formation Process 1. Carbon Source: Natural diamonds are made from carbon, which is abundant in the Earth’s mantle. 2. High Pressure and Temperature: Diamonds form under conditions of extreme pressure (about
