A diamond is laying in a black velvet box on the table.

A groundbreaking discovery by scientists has redefined diamond synthesis breakthrough, producing “real” diamonds at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. This innovative process eliminates the need for extreme conditions or a starter gem, drastically simplifying the creation of lab-grown diamonds. Usually, diamonds are formed 90 to 150 miles below the surface, where high pressures and temperatures can reach 2,000° Fahrenheit. These diamonds were brought closer to the Earth’s surface in the form of kimberlite or lamproite rocks by natural volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Scientists have historically employed the high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) approach, which demands significant resources to stimulate these…
