Q. What services do you provide in CVD testing ?

We test the diamonds for Natural or Lab grown . We also check if the test product is a simulant
like Moissanite or syntethic like American diamond or Cubic Zircon.

Q. What are Labgrown diamonds?

Labgrown diamonds are diamonds which are not mined from Earth (natural diamonds ) but are
created in a laboratory . There is a significant difference in price of Labgrown and natural
diamonds , natural diamond being expensive , therefore the need to get both tested .

Q. What are the types of Lab grown Diamonds?

Labgrown Diamonds are majorly created through 2 processes CVD and HPHT.

CVD: The CVD method places a diamond seed in a vacuum chamber. This chamber becomes filled with carbon-rich gases and is heated to nearly 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. The gas turns into plasma from these extremely high temperatures, causing the release of carbon pieces. These carbon pieces become layered onto the diamond seed, which grows the diamond.

HPHT: The HPHT method is the original method of creating lab-grown diamonds. HPHT process can also be used to enhance the color of diamonds to make them colorless, pink, green, blue, or yellow.

To grow an HPHT diamond, a small diamond seed is placed in carbon, the element that diamonds are made of. The diamond seed is exposed to extreme heat and pressure, replicating the way diamonds are naturally grown underground by the earth. The diamond seed is exposed to temperatures of over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure of about 1.5 million PSI (pounds per square inch). The carbon melts and forms a diamond around the seed. It is then cooled and the diamond is formed.

Q. Can CVD and HPHT be detected through naked eyes, eyeglass or magnification?

No CVD and HPHT can only be detected by screening them through various lights in machines.
They cannot be detected by looking through an eyeglass

Q. Do you test for Filling in diamonds?

We do not check diamonds for filling. Filling is molten glass that is filled in feather or fissure
of the diamond. Filling cannot be checked in CVD screening machines.

Q. Can CVD be tested on mounted jewellery?

CVD can be tested on mounted jewellery.

Q. Is there any chance of diamond or jewellery getting damaged while testing ?

. There is no chance of diamond or jewellery getting damaged or there being change of any

Q. How does Jewelscan HD ensure safety of diamonds and authenticity of certificates?

Jewelscan HD follows stringent processes religiously , where we first weigh the diamonds in
a Mettler weighing scale , then test the diamonds by first screening through various lights .
Then diamonds are tested for Synthetic or simulant. Lastly diamond is checked by an industry
experienced expert. A hologram certificate is then issued and diamonds are given back to
customers in a sealed envelope. All this process is done right in front of the customer where
the customer can verify the diamonds at any stage. The authentication seal ensures security of
the diamond if the customer sends a staff or a representative.

software from time to time . We keep researching on newer versions of CVD and get our results
tested and verifies at the most reputed and Sophiticated laboratories all across the country .
