In a world where innovation meets artistry, lab-grown diamonds have become the symbol of a new kind of luxury — one that’s ethical, sustainable, and every bit as dazzling as nature’s own creations.
At Vellora, we believe true beauty doesn’t need to be mined — it can be crafted with intention. Here’s how light, science, and craftsmanship come together to create the world’s most beautiful sustainable gems.
1. What Is a Lab-Grown Diamond?
A lab-grown diamond is not a replica — it’s a real diamond, identical in chemical, physical, and optical properties to a mined one.
The only difference? Its origin. Instead of forming beneath the earth over billions of years, it’s created in a controlled laboratory environment that replicates the same natural process — in weeks, not millennia.
2. The Two Methods of Creation
a. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
This method mimics the natural formation of diamonds deep within the Earth’s mantle.
A tiny diamond “seed” is placed in pure carbon, then exposed to extreme heat (over 1,400°C) and pressure (over 1.5 million psi).
The carbon melts around the seed and crystallises, forming a perfect diamond.
b. CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition)
CVD is a more modern and energy-efficient method.
A diamond seed is placed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gas.
The chamber is heated, causing the carbon atoms to detach and slowly deposit onto the seed — growing the diamond layer by layer, atom by atom, until it takes full crystalline form.
3. Cutting, Polishing, and Certification
Once formed, each lab-grown diamond is cut and polished using the same craftsmanship as mined diamonds.
Every stone is graded for the 4Cs — Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat — and certified by leading gemmological institutes such as IGI or GIA.
4. Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Choosing a lab-grown diamond means embracing conscious beauty:
- 🌿 Sustainable: No mining, less land disruption, lower carbon footprint.
- 💎 Affordable: Up to 40% more value than mined diamonds.
- 🤍 Traceable: Ethically produced, with complete transparency.
- ✨ Identical Brilliance: The same sparkle, strength, and purity — just a better origin.
5. The Vellora Difference
At Vellora, each lab-grown diamond is handcrafted into a unique design, made to order for you.
We believe luxury should feel personal, responsible, and radiant — just like the light our diamonds are born from.
