"[Lab-created diamonds] are not fakes. They're not cubic zirconias. They have all the same physical and chemical properties of a mined diamond." - Stephen Morisseau, a spokesman for the Gemological Institute of America (nonprofit organization that oversees the international diamond grading system)
Lab grown diamonds, as the name suggests, are grown in a Lab, under a controlled environment. They cannot be distinguished by anyone, unless tested by a Laboratory.
It all starts with a thin diamond seed which is placed in a sealed chamber. The chamber is filled with different gas mixtures, especially carbon, and subjected to extreme temperatures which help the gas become ionized into plasma. The bonds in the gases are then broken, allowing pure carbon to stick to the diamond seed which then grows. Simple!
