Diamonds, oh diamonds, so bright and sparkling, how are they made? Natural diamonds are formed through volcanic activity, tectonic movements, and meteorite impacts. But how are synthetic diamonds created? Let Honway guide you through this fascinating journey!
What are the types and methods of synthetic diamond production, and how to choose? Read More »
Our Understanding of Diamonds Diamonds, the most precious of the five major gemstones, symbolize purity, loyalty, and eternal brilliance. They are the perfect representation of love, with diamond rings becoming the most important token of marriage. Diamonds also appreciate annually by 5%-10% or even more, making them a beloved luxury item. However, because diamonds are

Currently, the world’s popular high-temperature and high-pressure diamond synthesizing equipment mainly consists of two-sided tops (belt, which is mainly popular in Europe and the United States), six-sided tops (unique to Mainland China), and splitting spheres (barssplitsphere, Russia) or modified splitting spheres (Gemesis Company). In 1954, before Christmas, the General Electric Company in the United States

In 1994, Thomas R. Anthony et al. of GE filed U.S. Patent 5,437,891 (issued in 1995) stating that the growth rate of cubic facets (100) of polycrystalline diamonds can be increased by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In particular, if a small amount (e.g., 1%) of air (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon) is added to

Natural diamonds are produced at depths of over 130 kilometers. It has a unique cubic crystal structure. Each carbon atom in a diamond is bonded to four other carbon atoms, making it the hardest natural substance known in the world. How are diamonds formed? Let’s find out!
How to make diamonds by chemical vapor deposition? Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) produces pure, high-performance solid materials. A small diamond, which serves as the “core”, is placed in a vacuum environment to remove impurities and injected with high temperature gases – methane and hydrogen – at 3,000 degrees Celsius, which cracks to form electrically charged

Diamond Synthesis Method Diamonds can be synthesized by gas-phase methods (e.g., PVD or CVD), liquid-phase methods (e.g., hydrostatic, catalytic, or CVD liquid-phase methods), or solid-phase methods. The solid-phase method is the synthesis of diamonds in a material with no fluid. The solid carbon atoms cannot diffuse through the fluid to reorganize into the structure of
