Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds or man-made diamonds, have the same hardness as natural diamonds because they share the same chemical composition. Both lab-grown and natural diamonds are composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which gives them their exceptional hardness.Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth, ranking as a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This scale ranges from 1 (the softest, like talc) to 10 (the hardest, like diamonds). The hardness of a diamond is a result of the strong covalent bonds between its carbon atoms, which makes it highly resistant to scratching and wear.
Because lab-grown diamonds have the same crystal structure as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same hardness properties. As a result, lab-grown diamonds are equally durable and scratch-resistant, making them an excellent choice for various jewellery applications, including engagement rings, necklaces, earrings, and more.
