HPHT stands for high pressure and high temperature. HPHT is a technique developed in the 1950s. Through HPHT, genuine diamonds can have their color grade improved to make them permanently whiter. 
  The HPHT process also allows us to create beautiful, authentic diamonds within a controlled environment and are rising in popularity among fine jewelry purchasers (CVD). 
In 2018, the FTC ruled that, for all intents and purposes, HPHT Diamonds, CVD, Cultured diamonds and Earth mined diamonds are the same thing: 100% a diamond!
  As such, they are and are all graded and traded the same.

HPHT diamonds and Cultured Diamonds  are graded according to the 4Cs of diamond quality - cut, color, carat and clarity. HPHT diamonds and Cultured Diamonds can certified by gemologists and issued a diamond grading report that verifies the stone’s authenticity and value. 
 

WILL MY DIAMOND TEST AS A REAL DIAMOND?

Yes, it will  test positive on a diamond tester because an HPHT or cultured diamond are Diamonds and they share the same chemical and physical properties as it’s natural diamond counterpart.  It is not a simulated diamond.  

If you were to place an HPHT Diamond or CVD diamond ring next to another earth-created diamond ring, you would not be able to see a difference.
Expert gemologists cannot tell the difference between the two with the naked eye. An HPHT or CVD diamond can only be distinguished from other mined diamonds using specialized equipment that can detect the very minor differences in trace elements and crystal growth.
