LAB GROWN DIAMONDS

Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds produced in a controlled setting. They are grown in two ways: a High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) process that mimics their natural formation in the Earth, or a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. Both processes begin with a pure carbon seed arranged in a crystalline structure and result in a lab diamond that is identical to a mined diamond.
 Lab diamonds are available in colorless ranges and rare fancy colors.
Please note that we only use Lab Grown Diamonds with VVS – VS Clarity, the selection between VVS and VS is due to availability only.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real?

Yes, are as real as natural diamonds are. Their only difference is origin: lab created diamonds are grown in laboratory settings, while natural diamonds form deep in the Earth. Chemically, physically, and optically, are identical to natural diamonds, with the same hardness, brilliance, and fire.
A common misconception is that lab created diamonds lack certain qualities of natural diamonds, but they are indistinguishable—only experts using advanced laboratory equipment can detect subtle differences in their growth patterns.
Also undergo the same grading process as natural diamonds: an assessment of the four Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Reputable gemological labs, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI), certify lab created diamonds using the same standards as those applied to natural diamonds.

Lab Grown vs. Natural Diamond

The only difference between natural and lab created diamonds is where they come from. Natural diamonds form deep beneath the Earth’s surface under extreme conditions of heat and pressure over billions of years. In contrast, lab diamonds are produced in weeks to months from diamond seeds with the same chemical composition as natural diamonds. Without specialized equipment, it’s nearly impossible to tell lab created diamonds apart from natural ones. Though there are no physical differences between the two, here’s how they contrast:

ORIGIN: Lab diamonds are produced in a controlled laboratory setting, whereas natural diamonds are extracted through mining from the Earth.

PRICE: Typically cost less than natural diamonds of comparable quality.

RARITY: Natural diamonds are much rarer than diamonds. Because of their limited quantity, natural diamonds have been cherished for their enduring value and passed from generation to generation.
