Gem-cutting refers to rough stones being cut and polished according to its style. Such operations are done with hand and then refined using grinding machines
In many gem-cutting plants they have poor ventilation and it allows for dust particles to become embedded in worker's lung leading to respiratory illness

Lab Grown Diamonds
lab-grown diamonds are created through techniques - chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or high pressure high temperature (HPHT) for creating molecular structure of the stones
Main different between organic and lab-grown gems is the amount of nitrogen hence, lab diamonds cost 40-50% less than organic gems
