How Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Made — And How They End Up in Pittsburgh
Lab-grown diamonds may sparkle like natural stones, but their story is very different. Grown in high-tech labs overseas using HPHT or CVD methods, they are cut, certified, and shipped through global suppliers before landing in jewelry cases here in Pittsburgh. At Chapel Hills Jewelry, we remind buyers that while these diamonds can look stunning, they do not carry the same rarity or long-term value as natural diamonds — which is why we do not buy back or trade in lab-grown stones.
