Get To Know the Lab Diamond
Lab diamonds are real diamonds ; chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds.
They’re made of pure carbon, arranged in the same crystalline structure, and are graded by the same standards.
The only difference is origin.
- Lab diamonds are grown in high-tech environments that replicate those same natural conditions.
- Natural diamonds form underground over billions of years.
Same beauty. Same sparkle. More intention.
How Are Lab Diamonds Made?
There are two advanced methods for creating lab-grown diamonds. Both simulate the Earth’s natural forces ; but in different ways:
HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
This older method uses intense heat and pressure ; like the conditions found deep inside the Earth. A diamond seed is placed in a chamber and exposed to temperatures over 1,500°C and extreme pressure. Carbon crystallizes around the seed, forming a diamond.
- Often used for enhancing color or growing small diamonds
- May require post-growth treatment to refine color
- Common in treated or industrial diamonds
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
This is the only method LUCEN BLOOM uses. CVD is a newer, more advanced process that offers greater precision, consistency, and quality.
- A diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gas
- Microwave energy activates the gas, bonding carbon atoms to the seed
- The diamond grows slowly, layer by layer, with exceptional control
CVD diamonds are known for their purity, symmetry, and light-filled elegance ; the signature of every Lucen Bloom piece.
Why We Choose CVD Only
At LUCEN BLOOM, we choose only CVD-grown diamonds because they offer:
- High color purity ; from icy white to softly near-colorless
- Exceptional clarity and symmetry ; perfect for fine, clean light return
- Precise control ; ideal for creating meaningful designs, from bold solitaires to delicate halos
- Natural brilliance, no enhancements needed
CVD is how we grow love ; with clarity, beauty, and care.
LUCEN Diamond Selection Criteria
Diamond Selection is more than technical excellence.
It’s a reflection of how we believe diamonds should feel: intentional, balanced, meaningful.
Every LUCEN BLOOM diamond is:
- Cut to Triple Excellent standards ; in cut, polish, and symmetry
- Certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute)
- Eye-clean clarity (D VVS2 or G VVS2 only)
- No fluorescence
- No internal graining
- And confirmed Hearts & Arrows symmetry where applicable
Whether it’s for a round diamond or our own LUCEN Cut, we hold every facet to a standard that honors not just brilliance ; but care.
Our Diamond Grades Offerring
All LUCEN BLOOM diamonds are:
- CVD-grown
