ARE THEY DIAMONDS? YES.

Yes, they are diamonds, for all intents and purposes

AMA diamonds are born from the technological evolution that allows man in the laboratory to recreate the same conditions present in nature that give rise to the formation of a natural diamond. Without the negative environmental or human cost of mining.

Lab-grown diamonds are physically identical to mine-mined diamonds.

They share a growth process identical to that of natural diamonds, forming as carbon atoms which, under high temperature and pressure, bond together to form a crystalline lattice structure. Once fully formed, they are cut by the same expert hands that cut the diamonds extracted from the mines in order to guarantee their brilliance. They share colours and purities equal to natural ones and are certified by the same institutions (IGI, GIA) which are among the most accredited worldwide for diamond certification. Because they do not have the human and environmental costs associated with mined diamonds, lab diamonds offer the best value for anyone interested in diamonds.

Production process

H.P.H.T.

H.P.H.T. (high pressure high temperature) because it reproduces the same conditions of high temperatures and high pressure that are present inside the earth's crust and which give rise to the crystallisation of carbon for the formation of rough diamond.

CVD

CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), uses vacuum chambers to convert carbon-rich gases into plasma. The kinetics allows the carbon atoms within the chamber to build up in layers on top of a diamond seed so that the rough diamond can increase its volume.
