Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds created using advanced technology that mimics the extreme heat and pressure conditions found deep within the Earth's mantle. 

They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. This also means that there is no mining nor the pollution that comes from it, isn’t that a bonus!

Absolutely! Lab-created diamonds are as real and authentic as those found in nature. Made of crystallized carbon with the same cubic structure, they have the same fire, scintillation, and hardness as mined diamonds.Leading gemological labs like the GIA recognize them as genuine diamonds, different from simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite.

No. To the naked eye or with standard magnification, distinguishing a lab-grown diamond from a mined one is not impossible. Literally no one on earth can tell which is which unless that have an advanced spectroscopic analysis or specialized equipment to tell them apart.

That’s the fun part, it’s up to you! You can decide to buy a lab-grown diamond based on your personal values and priorities. Many people appreciate that they are ethically sourced, eco-friendly, and generally more affordable than mined diamonds (don’t get us started on their quality, it’s amazing). However, some may prefer the rarity and heritage of mined gems. It's a personal choice.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are more affordable than mined diamonds of comparable quality, like color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The lower price is mainly due to the large upfront investment needed for mining operations compared to the costs of lab production facilities and equipment.

Yes, leading gemological laboratories grade, analyze, and certify lab-grown diamonds using the same stringent processes as for mined diamonds (Bonus Part: Every lab uses the same criteria to judge lab grown and mined diamonds). Respected labs like the GIA, AGS, SGL and IGI assess factors like cut quality, color, clarity, and proportions using consistent benchmarks and methodologies for all diamonds, regardless of origin.

It hurts our hearts when people assume this part. No, lab-grown diamonds are not the same as synthetic diamonds or simulants like moissanite or cubic zirconia. 

Lab diamonds are crystallized carbon and are chemically, structurally, and optically real diamonds, just created in a lab instead of being mined. Synthetic gems like moissanite are different materials that simulate a diamond's appearance.

Yes, lab-created diamonds are just as durable, hardy, and resistant to scratches and chips as natural mined diamonds. At the atomic level, the carbon crystals bond in the same isometric cubic structure, giving them an identical hardness rating of 10 on the Mohs scale, no matter their origin.

Yes, they are diamonds after all. Your diamond will sparkle for many generations to come. People used to say that diamonds are forever, now they are for everyone as well.

Absolutely! The same standardized gemmological grading scales, terminology, and classification systems are used for evaluating and describing colour and clarity in both lab-grown and natural mined diamonds. Respected labs adhere to these guidelines to ensure credibility and allow fair comparison between stones, regardless of their origin.

Many celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, Meghan Markle, and Emma Watson have been spotted flaunting lab-grown diamonds. Also, Indian PM Narendra Modi gifted a lab grown diamond to the America’s First lady, Jill Biden during his US trip in 2023.
