Lab Diamonds at ANANTA
Modern Brilliance. Timeless Beauty.
At ANANTA, every gem we choose tells a story, crafted with care, intention, and a quiet promise of excellence. While our legacy is built on the beauty of natural diamonds, we also embrace innovation where it brings value, sustainability, and integrity to our creations.
That is why, in select creations, ANANTA thoughtfully incorporates lab diamonds, an elegant expression of modern innovation and conscious luxury that is seamlessly woven into our timeless design philosophy.
What Are Lab Diamonds?
Lab diamonds are real diamonds. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. The only difference is their origin. Instead of forming deep within the Earth over billions of years, lab diamonds are grown in high tech laboratories that replicate the same conditions of heat and pressure found in nature. They are also more affordable.
They are made of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure, just like natural diamonds. Lab diamonds sparkle, shine, and endure with the same brilliance, ready to become part of your story.
How Are Lab Diamonds Made?
There are two advanced techniques used to create lab diamonds, each replicating the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed in the Earth.
1. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
This method mimics the intense heat and pressure found deep within the Earth’s mantle. A diamond seed is subjected to temperatures above 1,500°C and immense pressure, allowing carbon to crystallize around it ; forming a diamond. HPHT is often used to enhance color or produce smaller stones, though some results may show slight tints without post-growth treatment.
2. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
A newer and more advanced technology, CVD uses a refined process where a diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gas. Activated by microwave energy, the carbon bonds to the seed atom by atom ; growing the diamond layer by layer with remarkable control. CVD diamonds are celebrated for their high purity, excellent color consistency, and precision clarity.
HPHT vs. CVD: A Subtle Distinction in Brilliance
At ANANTA, we exclusively use CVD grown lab diamonds for their exceptional performance and purity, especially in white diamonds. With high color in the D to F range, superior clarity of VS or better, and excellent cut, every CVD diamond we select meets our uncompromising standards of brilliance and refinement.
Why Lab Diamonds?
For select designs, lab diamonds offer several thoughtful benefits:
More Accessible Price Point
Lab diamonds offer exceptional beauty without an elevated cost, perfect for those who seek brilliance, quality, and value in equal measure.
Sustainable Innovation
Lab diamonds use significantly fewer natural resources than mined diamonds. No excavation and no large scale environmental disruption, a meeting of science and beauty.
Ethical Choice
Every lab diamond is traceable and conflict free, offering peace of mind for people who value transparency and responsibility.
Perfect for Precision Design
Lab diamonds allow for excellent control when creating uniform, high quality melee stones, ideal for fine pave, halos, and other intricate designs in our jewelry.
Lab Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
At ANANTA, we believe each diamond has its rightful place in your story. We thoughtfully use natural diamonds as the centerpiece of our engagement rings and fine jewelry, and we incorporate lab diamonds where they enhance design, sustainability, and the overall beauty of your piece.
Can You Tell the Difference?
To the naked eye, lab diamonds and natural diamonds are virtually indistinguishable. Even expert jewelers require specialized tools to identify them.
To ensure transparency and authenticity, all ANANTA lab diamonds are screened and graded using advanced diamond testing technology. This guarantees that our lab diamonds meet our highest standards for quality and origin.
