What are lab-grown diamonds?
Abbett lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in advanced laboratories instead of being mined from the earth. They have the same crystal structure, chemical composition, and sparkle as natural diamonds—making them identical in every way but are grown above the earth in a controlled, ethical, and sustainable way.
Using high technology, scientists replicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally form, allowing carbon atoms to crystallize into dazzling diamonds. The result is a diamond that’s just as beautiful, durable, and brilliant as one found underground.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Abbett has the same crystal structure, chemical composition, and physical properties as mined diamonds. Both are made of pure carbon, both score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, and both display the same fire, brilliance, and sparkle that make diamonds so special.
The only difference is their origin:
Mined diamonds form naturally underground over billions of years. Abbett lab-grown diamonds are created above ground using advanced technology that replicates the same process in weeks.
How Abbett lab-grown diamonds are made?
Abbett lab-grown diamonds are created using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural process of diamond formation deep within the earth.
There are two main methods:
-
HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature)
Mimics the natural conditions where diamonds form underground.
A tiny diamond “seed” is placed into carbon and exposed to extreme heat and pressure.
The carbon crystallizes around the seed, growing into a larger diamond crystal.
-
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
A diamond seed is placed in a sealed chamber filled with a carbon-rich gas.
The chamber is heated, causing the gas to break down.
Carbon atoms attach to the seed, growing the diamond layer by layer.
Both methods produce genuine diamonds—not imitations

What is a lab-grown diamond grading report?
A lab-grown diamond grading report is an official document issued by an independent gemological laboratory that evaluates the quality of a lab-grown diamond. Just like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded based on the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight. Abbett supplies both certified and non-certified lab grown diamonds.
What does it include?
A grading report provides:
Carat Weight – The size and weight of the diamond.
Cut Grade – How well the diamond is cut and how brilliantly it sparkles.
Color Grade – The diamond’s body color, from colorless to faint tones.
Clarity Grade – The number, size, and visibility of natural inclusions or features.
Growth Method – States whether the diamond was grown using HPHT or CVD technology.
Laser Inscription – Most lab-grown diamonds are inscribed on the girdle with a report number for traceability.
Who issues grading reports?
Respected gemological laboratories such as:
GIA (Gemological Institute of America)
GCAL (Gem Certification & Assurance Lab)
IGI (International Gemological Institute)
These labs use the same grading standards for lab-grown diamonds as they do for natural diamonds, ensuring fairness and consistency.
