A Guide to Lab Grown Diamonds

Ethically sourced, traceable brilliance, handcrafted in recycled solid gold.

What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, made using advanced technology that replicates the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions under which natural diamonds form. They share the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds, meaning they're identical to the naked eye.

Unlike diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, lab grown diamonds are true carbon crystals, offering the same sparkle and durability as their natural counterparts.

How Are They Made?

There are two main processes used to grow diamonds in labs:

• HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature)
• CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition)

Both methods create conditions that mirror the earth’s mantle, transforming carbon into crystalline diamonds in weeks, rather than millions of years. These diamonds are then cut, polished, and graded in the same way as natural diamonds.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds Sustainable?

Lab grown diamonds avoid the environmental impact of mining, but energy use can be high. That’s why we only work with partners like Diamond Foundry, who create carbon-neutral diamonds using hydroelectric power in California.

At Maya Magal, every piece is made using 100% recycled gold and crafted in our zero-waste London studio - so your jewellery reflects not only your values but your style.
