Understanding Lab Grown Diamonds — A Complete Guide for UAE Buyers
What Makes Lab Grown Diamonds Identical to Natural Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are composed of pure carbon and share the same crystalline structure as mined diamonds. They are real diamonds, not substitutes or simulants, produced in controlled environments using advanced methods:
- CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
- HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
Both processes create diamonds with the same brilliance, fire, scintillation, and durability as natural diamonds.
UAE customers choosing Variation can expect:
- Outstanding brilliance and fire
- Strong light performance
- Superior structural integrity
- IGI-certified assurance of quality
