CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Diamonds — technology, quality, and market context

CVD diamonds are laboratory-grown diamonds produced by depositing carbon in a controlled chamber, layer by layer, until a gem-quality crystal forms. They are chemically and optically the same material as natural diamonds, and modern CVD processes can produce gem-quality stones in a matter of weeks. Compared with mined stones, CVD diamonds typically cost less to…

Disadvantages of Natural Diamond Mining — environmental and social costs

While natural diamonds carry legacy branding, mining remains associated with significant environmental and social harms. Large-scale extraction disturbs fragile ecosystems, generates substantial waste rock and tailings, and can lead to soil erosion and water contamination when not properly managed. Recent analyses underline that mined diamonds create higher land-use impacts and greater material waste than lab-grown…
