Understanding the Anatomy of a Lab Grown Diamond

Lab grown diamonds, like their natural counterparts, are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. This structure gives diamonds their exceptional hardness and resistance to scratches. However, it’s important to note that lab grown diamonds are not indestructible and can be damaged if not handled with care.
