The first lab-created diamonds were invented in the mid-1950s, ไม่นานหลังจากการค้นพบกระบวนการทำเพชรโดยนักวิทยาศาสตร์ของ General Electric Tracy Hall และ Robert Wentorf. พวกเขาพัฒนากระบวนการที่เรียกว่าอุณหภูมิสูงแรงดันสูง (HPHT), which involves simulating the intense heat and pressure conditions found deep within the earth’s mantle to create diamonds from a carbon source.
The first HPHT lab-created diamond was created in December 1954, and by the early 1960s, these diamonds were being produced on a larger scale for industrial applications such as cutting tools and abrasives.
ในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา, technological advancements have led to the development of other diamond-making processes, including Chemical Vapor Deposition (ซีวีดี) and High Pressure Low Temperature (HPLT) methods. These newer methods have made it possible to create larger and higher-quality lab-created diamonds, which are now used not only for industrial applications but also in the jewelry industry as a more affordable and sustainable alternative to natural diamonds.
