Lab Grown Diamond Production Time Statistics
The production time for lab-grown diamonds typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the size and complexity of the diamond.
In this post, we will explore the various statistics related to the production time of lab-grown diamonds. From the duration of the CVD growth process to the advancements in technology that have significantly reduced production times, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the timeline involved in creating these synthetic gems.
Statistic 1
"The CVD growth process typically lasts several weeks."
Statistic 2
"After initial production, lab-grown diamonds further undergo a 2-week process of cutting and polishing."
Statistic 3
"The CVD process requires a chamber at very low pressure and a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius for a period of several weeks."
Statistic 4
"Lab grown diamond production can produce up to 150 carats per month in some labs."
Statistic 5
"Lab grown diamonds are produced all-year-round compared to mined diamonds which are subject to natural cycles and mining times."
Statistic 6
"It used to take 300 hours to produce a 1 carat lab diamond in 1980s."
Statistic 7
"The time to production for lab-grown diamonds has decreased exponentially since the 1950s."
Statistic 8
"Some companies can produce lab grown diamonds as large as 9 carats, which require more time for their creation."
Statistic 9
"Innovations in technology saw production time of lab grown diamonds reduce from more than 4 weeks to less than a week for some producers."
Statistic 10
"Additional treatment processes following growth, such as laser cutting or annealing, can add up to a few hours to the final production time."
Statistic 11
"The creation of lab-grown fancy colored diamonds could take up to a few months."
Statistic 12
"It takes about one week to grow a white diamond of 2.5 carats."
Statistic 13
"Lab grown diamonds can be grown in as little time as a month to two."
Statistic 14
"Small diamonds of under 0.25 carat can be grown within a week."
Statistic 15
"Lab grown diamond manufacturers can produce around 4,000 carats of diamonds per month."
