Lab-grown diamonds, like those crafted by Aukera Jewellery, typically take 6 to 10 weeks to grow, depending on the desired size and quality. Using advanced techniques such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT), Aukera Jewellery ensures sustainable, high-quality diamonds for every piece.
YesAdditional AnswerIt is also possible to 'grow' diamonds in a lab, but coal cannot be 'grown'.
Take the stone to a certified gemologist, who will be able to tell you the origin of the diamond. To the amateur, a yellow diamond just looks like a yellow diamond.
Its a simulated diamond. Or lab created.
A lab created diamond is a real diamond in all ways. It is chemically, physically, optically and molecularly identical to a mined diamond. There are only a couple of companies that can grow diamonds, and are still expensive (a few thousand dollars per carat). These should not be confused with simulants. Simulants may look like a diamond, but do not possess the same properties as a diamond. These include cubic zirconia and moissanite and are available for a hundred dollars or less per carat.

The lab processing for AncestryDNA typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Yes, a lab-created diamond will test as a diamond because it has the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as a natural diamond. Standard diamond testers measure thermal and electrical conductivity, which are identical in both. Only specialized lab equipment, such as spectroscopy or advanced gemological tools, can differentiate between lab-grown and natural diamonds.
'Finest' is a judgement call, and you are the judge. Lab-created diamonds can be custom-ordered, based on the source of the carbon. You can also specify a colour of diamond that you want. Any lab-created diamond will always be a lab-created diamond, and its competitor won't be another lab-created diamond, but will be a natural diamond.
