For example, a 1-carat diamond may take approximately one month to complete.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is practically impossible to distinguish a CVD diamond from a natural diamond without the use of specialized gemological tools. For this reason, it is important to only purchase CVD diamonds with GIA or IGI certification, which describes the method used to create the diamond.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lab-grown diamonds are gaining more and more supporters due to the following advantages:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/gatsos.gr\/product-category\/diamantia\/technita-diamantia\/” button_text=”Artificial Diamonds” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-body-color” header_3_font_size=”18px” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-body-color%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The choice between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond is a personal one.
