How Are Diamonds Made?

Diamonds are pure carbon crystallized under extraordinary heat and pressure. Here is how they form, naturally and in a lab, and why it matters for your ring.

  • Natural diamonds form deep in the earth under intense heat and pressure over billions of years
  • Volcanic activity carries them toward the surface where they are mined
  • Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created with the same crystal structure in weeks
  • The 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat) determine a diamond’s beauty and value
  • A trusted jeweler helps you balance the 4Cs against your budget
