Simply put, CVD diamonds are synthetic diamonds, which can also be called cultivated diamonds. This kind of diamond has been recognized by more and more people in the past two years and is one of the best substitutes for natural diamonds. For many ordinary consumers, CVD diamonds and natural diamonds are very similar in appearance and cannot be distinguished at all. So what is the difference between CVD diamonds and real diamonds?

 

What is the difference between CVD diamond and real diamond? In fact, CVD diamonds can be regarded as real diamonds. They are "planted" from real diamonds as "seeds", and are no different from natural diamonds in terms of physical and chemical properties. Therefore, CVD diamonds cannot be said to be fake diamonds. What everyone really needs to understand should be the difference between CVD diamonds and natural diamonds. Below we will understand them from many aspects:

 

       The growth environment of the difference between CVD diamonds and natural diamonds

 

       From the perspective of the growth environment, cvd diamonds are cultivated in the laboratory through some special methods. They are artificial diamonds with a short time of formation. Natural diamonds are different. They are natural gemstones that exist in nature. At present, they have no comparable hardness in nature. They have been formed for tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years. They are a precious resource that cannot be regenerated.

 

       The difference between CVD diamond and natural diamond price

 

       In the sales process, the most obvious difference between CVD diamonds and natural diamonds is the price. Among them, the price of CVD diamonds will be much lower, which is basically more than one-fifth of natural diamonds. For example, the price of a natural diamond is 40,000 yuan. Then the CVD diamond of the same grade may only cost about 8,000 yuan. So the difference between the two prices is quite obvious.

The difference between CVD diamond and natural diamond clarity

 

       There are few internal inclusions in CVD synthetic diamond, and needle-like and black irregular inclusions can be seen in some cases. And there is no metal inclusion in CVD synthetic diamond, so it is not magnetic. There are more types of flaw inclusions in natural diamonds. But even so, this aspect cannot be used to distinguish CVD diamonds from natural diamonds.
