Cultivated vs. natural diamonds: what are the differences?

Many people have heard of cultivated diamonds, but have not been able to figure out the difference between cultivated diamonds and natural diamonds, today let's take a good look at the difference between cultivated diamonds and natural diamonds!

First of all, the formation process. Natural diamonds are formed in the depths of the earth, after a long period of high pressure and high temperature, after millions of years or even billions of years. Cultivated diamonds, on the other hand, are grown in a laboratory in a few weeks or months by simulating the growth environment of natural diamonds.

In terms of composition, there is no difference between the two, both are pure carbon crystals with identical chemical properties.

In terms of appearance, both cultivated diamonds and natural diamonds have brilliance and excellent hardness, but cultivated diamonds are actually purer than natural diamonds because they are artificially cultivated and have undergone special treatment!

However, there is a difference in value. Natural diamonds, because of their scarcity and long history of formation, are often imbued with higher sentimental and collector's values. Cultured diamonds, on the other hand, are relatively more affordable because they can be mass produced.

Another important point is the traceability of the source. Cultivated diamonds have a clear source, while the source of natural diamonds is sometimes difficult to trace and may involve some unregulated mining and trading.

For example, when Li was about to buy a diamond proposal ring, he was torn between the precious rarity of natural diamonds and the cost-effectiveness of cultivated diamonds, and eventually made a choice based on his budget and needs.

In conclusion, as an experienced manufacturer of cultivated diamond equipment, HUERAY MPCVD believes that cultivated diamonds and natural diamonds each have their own characteristics, and which one to choose depends on your personal preference, budget, and desired use of the diamond. If you have a larger budget, want to collect diamonds, and are fond of the word natural, then you can choose natural diamonds; however, if you have a limited budget and want more delicate diamond-based jewellery, then you can choose cultivated diamonds.
