Lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) are manufactured in laboratories with either of the two methods — chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) using a chemical composition.  LGDs have physical and optical properties similar to that of natural diamonds. A common eye can’t distinguish between a natural diamond and an LGD and it requires a trained gemologist and sophisticated equipment to differentiate the two. The size, clarity, cut and colour of LGDs make them suitable substitutes to natural diamonds, especially when the availability of natural diamonds becomes scarce due to depleting reserves and escalating costs.... - [TREATMENT OF DIAMONDS](https://egl.co.in/treatment-on-diamonds/): Treatments to Enhance Clarity Laser Drilling :Diamond manufacturers can employ lasers to remove or lighten a dark-appearing inclusion by drilling a tiny hole to the site of the inclusion.

Sometimes after drilling, the diamond may be... ## Pages - [Online Verification](https://egl.co.in/online-verification/) - [Disclaimer](https://egl.co.in/disclaimer/): EGL INDIA is strictly in the business of issuing Report for Diamonds and Diamond Jewellery only.EGL INDIA does not issue any Quality Analysis reports related to Natural / Synthetic / Semi Precious Colored Stones.
