Yes, "Carbon" diamonds, also known as lab-grown diamonds, are real diamonds. They are made of the same carbon atoms as mined diamonds, arranged in the same crystal structure. Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions that occur in the Earth's mantle, where mined diamonds are formed. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, and they have the same properties and characteristics as mined diamonds. They are also cut, polished, and evaluated in the same way as mined diamonds. In recent years, lab-grown diamonds have become more popular as consumers seek out ethical and environmentally responsible alternatives to mined diamonds. They offer a sustainable option for those who want to enjoy the beauty and brilliance of diamonds without contributing to the negative impacts of diamond mining.
