Why Choose NEX Carbon Technologies?
Mining Free
NEX Carbon Technologies are a responsible choice given that no mining is required.
Beauty & Quality
NEX Carbon Technologies have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds.
Value
NEX Carbon Technologies offer excellent value. They are more cost-effective than natural diamonds of comparable size and quality.
What Are NEX Carbon Technologies?
NEX Carbon Technologies (also known as lab created diamonds, manmade diamonds, engineered diamonds, and cultured diamonds) are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust. These lab created diamonds consist of actual carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. Since they are made of the same material as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same optical and chemical properties.
Our lab created diamonds are readily available in a variety of colourless ranges. Our lab created diamonds are also available in fancy colours that are considered very rare in nature, including popular hues of vivid yellow. Fancy coloured lab created diamonds sell at comparatively reasonable prices compared to their natural coloured diamond counterparts.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real?
The answer is a very simple yes.
The only thing that makes a lab-grown diamond different from a natural diamond is its origin. A lab-grown diamond is “grown” inside a lab using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond growing process. The result is a man-made diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically the same as those grown beneath the Earth’s surface.
Sometimes, lab-grown diamonds are referred to as synthetic diamonds. While not technically inaccurate, term “synthetic” may be the reason people believe lab-grown diamonds are “fake.”
If we compare them to other popular diamond simulants, it’s obvious that manufactured diamonds, in fact, are the real deal.
Lab-created Diamonds Vs. Natural Diamonds
Lab-created diamonds are made over the course of several weeks, while natural diamonds take billions of years to form. Lab-grown diamonds are created through a high-temperature carbon growing and compression process. Real diamonds are cut from a rough stone into the shape and carat weight that’s desired. Similarly, once a synthetic diamond is grown, a cutter forms the shape.
Placed side by side, a lab-created and a natural diamond look nearly identical. Lab grown diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds only with tests using specialized equipment. Lab created diamonds available for purchase should always come with a gem certification identifying them as laboratory grown.
