Just like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are crystallized carbon. The major differences are how they are formed and how rare they are. While natural diamonds are formed over billions of years deep within the earth’s crust, lab grown diamonds are created using a technological process that duplicates the conditions inside the earth.

Lab grown diamonds consist of carbon atoms arranged in the same crystal structure as natural diamonds. Because they are made of the same material as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same physical chemical and optical properties. Using this technology, Tapper’s offers beautiful diamonds with the same sparkle and clarity as natural diamonds.
