Two routes to diamond

HPHT uses high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. CVD grows diamond through chemical vapour deposition. Both can produce laboratory-grown diamond; neither label alone tells you how an individual stone looks.

Read the individual evidence

Growth conditions can leave characteristic features. A report may also disclose post-growth treatment. Compare the actual stone's colour, clarity, proportions, dimensions and appearance rather than declaring one growth method universally superior.

Put the conclusion in the quotation

Confirm laboratory-grown origin, the available report details and any recorded treatments. Select the stone that meets your visual and budget priorities, supported by consistent documentation.
