In a "man imitating nature" fashion, the immense temperatures and pressure that have created diamonds in nature are now harnessed in laboratory conditions by humans to create gem quality, dazzling diamonds of attractive and marketable sizes of over one carat. Utilizing Carbon in its pure Graphite form encompassing a diamond seed, suspended in liquid metal, and applying pressures of over 50,000 atmospheres and temperature of roughly 15000 degrees centigrade a diamond is made to grow! The process was first implemented in 1955 by Mr. Tracy Hall, in General Electrics laboratories, but now used in several, yet few laboratories world wide. Laboratory grown Diamonds are now even graded as such, namely, as diamonds, by most leading North American laboratories today ( the GIA, IGI and EGL) using to the same standards and criteria: Carat Weight, Shape, Proportions, Cut, Color, Clarity etc. always laser engraving them as " laboratory grown", to avoid confustion in the market place. Laboratory Grown Diamonds are for the most part colored diamonds. They are not irradiated but, rather, displaying clour for the same reasons that mined colored diamonds would: the presence of other elements within them in small quantities (Nitrogen, for one, would create a yellow color in diamonds). Tetra Diamonds™ is the home and your destiantion for irresistable, mainly colored laboratory grown diamonds, in stunning colors and intense display of those colors, rarely found in mined colored diamonds. Our supplying laboratory would even custom make a diamond to your specified parameters, a novelty in the laboratory grown diamonds market. Most of the laboratory grown diamonds offered by us are intense, vivid and deep colors, at times with slight overtones (e.g. greenish), Orange and Cognac colors.

Tetra's™ Laboratory Grown Diamonds are no less than "Fancy" and for the most part "Fancy Intense","Fancy Deep", and "Fancy Vivid".
