Clarity Diamond

Our Technology

Non-stop research, development, and innovation are key to creating the best possible diamonds. Our team of talented developers and scientists consistently challenge what’s possible, inspiring confidence at every point in a diamond’s journey. With Clarity we don’t compromise, we invest in ourselves; in the time, effort and means to develop and build our own growth systems and science to ensure we can produce top-quality engineered diamonds from start to finish.  

Clarity Diamond™’s cutting-edge growing technology produces diamonds with a patented and unique diamond engineering process, allowing for uninterrupted growth from beginning to end. Clarity’s signature CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method allows for slow, precision-controlled growth without interruption. This method focuses on the diamond’s ultimate quality, not the speed of production, resulting in a lab-grown diamond like no other.  

In order to achieve this remarkable result, Clarity manufactures and operates its own growth systems in its state-of-the-art facility in Austin, Texas.

OUR GROWTH PROCESSHow are Clarity diamonds made?

Clarity Diamond’s patented technology creates diamonds in a single growth process, meaning there is no human interventioin in the growth process once it is started.  

In CVD diamond growth, a thin slice of diamond called a seed is placed in a sealed chamber.  A carbon-rich gas mixture is then introduced into the chamber, and the gas is ionized into a plasma with microwave energy, heating the gas to over 3000°C.  The chemistry created in the plasma along with the high temperature, releases carbon atoms that adhere to the crystal structure of the diamond seed and replicate. 

 Clarity Diamond increases a stones quality thru this slow, uninterrupted growth, unlike other methods that are often interrupted while the diamond is growing. This patented technology allows the diamonds to grow free of growth layers, reducing visible inclusions and eleminating the need for any post growth treatment, commonly found in other lab grown diamonds.

DIAMOND SEED

Clarity diamonds start with a diamond seed of the highest quality to produce a single diamond rough.
THE PUCK

Seeds are then placed onto a puck, and the puck is placed in the CVD reactor.
CVD REACTOR

The diamond puck is placed into the reactor and the diamond growth process begins with our patented recipe, allowing our diamonds to grow slowly and intentionally.
Rough Diamond

Once the rough diamonds have grown to their desired size, they are removed from the reactor and the diamond polishing phase begins.
Cut

All Clarity diamonds are cut with supreme precision to exhibit exceptional light return. All round diamonds are triple-X and showcase the hearts and arrows pattern, and all fancies are premium cut with a minimum grade of VG+. 

Our Diamonds Outperform

Cut, coupled with the quality of the diamond rough, ultimately determines the overall performance of a diamond. Since Clarity diamonds have no growth layers and are cut to the highest standards, their optical properties can be maximized.  
 
In regular CVD diamonds, growth layers can cause variations in the refractive index within a diamond. This is because the layers are areas where the atomic structure might be slightly misaligned or have impurities, leading to differences in how light is refracted within a diamond. Clarity is able to maximize the light performance of every diamond by being free of any growth layers. Cut is also a crucial factor in determining a diamond’s capacity to engage with light. A well-cut diamond has the power to truly captivate while a poorly cut diamond is dull and lifeless. This is a difference visible to the naked eye and why Clarity spends so much time focusing on the cut of our diamonds.  
 
All Clarity diamonds are cut in our state-of-the-art facility in Vietnam and are cut with supreme precision to exhibit exceptional light return. All our round diamonds are triple-X and showcase the hearts and arrows pattern, meeting the highest standards of the industry as an AGS Ideal cut grade, and our fancies are VG+.

All Clarity diamonds are GIA graded

GIA is the industry’s top grading laboratory. All of our diamonds are graded by GIA in their US locations, providing peace of mind for our customers that their Clarity diamond is accurately assessed by a trusted third party. 
 
All Clarity round diamonds are accompanied with an AGS Ideal® Report. Only a small percentage of natural and lab-grown diamonds meet the high standards for an AGS Ideal® Report, reflecting superior craftsmanship and exceptional light performance.  
 
Not all grading laboratories are the same and we are proud to offer the best diamond grading report possible for your Clarity diamond.

FAQs

A lab-grown diamond is a gem identical in chemical composition to a mined diamond but grown in a laboratory environment, rather than mined from the earth.  

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds in every way. In 2018 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that “A diamond is a diamond, no matter whether it is grown in a lab or comes out of the ground.”

There are two different methods used for producing lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).  
 
HPHT is the traditional growing method that aims to mimic the conditions found naturally in the Earth by using large mechanical presses to apply high pressure and high temperatures to a diamond seed.    
 
CVD is a method that involves filling a vacuum chamber with a carbon-rich mixture. This gas mixture is ionized in the plasma, and along with the high temperature, it releases carbon atoms that adhere to the crystal structure of the diamond seed and replicate. This method uses very controlled conditions, allowing for a more precise and consistent growth. 
 
Typical CVD diamonds are grown via a multi-step, start-stop process that is repeated numerous times during the growth cycle. Between each start-stop cycle, the rough diamond is removed from the reactor and laser trimmed of inclusions and other defects. The surface is then polished and returned to the reactor.  
 
Diamonds produced in this manner exhibit unavoidable growth layers within the diamond. Once the growth stops and then restarts, the conditions that the crystal was originally growing cannot immediately be replicated.  
 
This change in the conditions leaves a growth interface and visible inclusions can form within these interfaces. These growth layers and inclusions negatively impact the light performance of the diamond.  
As you see in the image below, most diamonds do not have growth layers that are lined up with the diamond’s table. The diamonds are cut to maximize size which puts the growth layers in varying places.

In addition to growth layers, diamonds produced using the typical CVD method often result in color grades that are subpar. Because of this, the diamonds are subjected to HPHT treatment to improve their color. Oftentimes, this color can be improved up to three grades.    
 
Post-growth treatment is listed on the grading reports from both IGI and GIA under the additional comments section. 

In addition to the technology just not being available to produce premium lab-grown diamonds before Clarity Diamond™, producing high-quality CVD diamonds can cost manufacturers two to three times more than low-quality CVD diamonds.   
 
Consequently, lab-grown diamonds command significantly different wholesale prices, leading to varying retail prices. This has led to a significant portion of manufacturers producing for speed and cost-efficiency only.
