WHAT ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS ?
Lab grown diamonds are ‘real diamonds’ that have been grown with scientific processes in special laboratory conditions. For all intents and purposes, they are the same as mined diamonds. The two main differences between natural and lab-grown diamonds are that they are grown, not mined, and are generally much less expensive than their mined counterparts.
We are crystalizing carbon into stunning rough diamonds that are then cut, polished, and graded just like earth-mined diamonds. Lab created diamonds carry the same optical, physical, and chemical properties. They have the same refractive index, dispersion, and hardness and are graded to the same standards as mined diamonds by leading independent gemological institutes, including the IGI, GIA. Infact, the best lab-grown diamonds are equivalent to some of the highest quality stones that have ever been mined!
HOW LAB GROWN DIAMONDS ARE MADE ?
Many people are concerned about Lab Grown Diamonds being "too perfect and flawless.", but this isn't the case. The process in the lab mimics the process by nature that creates diamonds, and therefore Lab Grown Diamonds can also have flaws. Cut, clarity, and color will also affect a Lab Grown Diamond's price.
Lab grown diamonds can be created following two different techniques, HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition).
With the HPHT technique, Lab-created diamonds are grown from a tiny carbon seed placed into a chamber of heat and pressure that mimics the natural method of diamond formation. Once the diamond has matured (approximately six to ten weeks), it is then cut and polished.
The CVD method places a diamond seed in a vacuum chamber. This chamber becomes filled with carbon-rich gases and is heated to nearly 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (815°C). The gas turns into plasma from these extremely high temperatures, causing the release of carbon pieces. These carbon pieces become layered onto the diamond seed, which grows the diamond.
LAB GROWN DIAMOND PRICE How much do a lab grown diamond cost ? Why the price difference ?
LAB GROWN DIAMOND PRICE How much do a lab grown diamond cost ? Why the price difference ?
On average, lab diamonds are priced up to 40% less than an earth-mined diamond of equivalent quality.
When it comes to cutting and polishing, mined diamonds and lab diamonds have the same cost. The main difference in price comes from the heavy cost of mining and multiple middlemen throughout the process leading upto that final point. The price to cultivate diamond in a lab is fraction of the cost that’s required to mine diamonds, which means consumers aren’t forced to carry the cost of sourcing and extracting the diamonds from the earth.
However, the price of a lab-grown diamond depends on various factors such as the 4 c’s - carat weight, cut, color, and clarity, just like mined diamonds. This affordability opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to choose a larger or higher quality lab-grown diamond for your budget. So, if you're looking for exceptional value without compromising on beauty, lab-grown diamonds are an enticing and cost-effective choice, without harming the earth or your pocket.

WE DO DIAMONDS DIFFERENTLY !
Because diamond jewellery is an expression of self; to mean what you want, wear how you want, celebrate with when you want; and keep forever. It’s for grand moments, minor milestones, and every day in between.
LAB GROWN DIAMOND RESALE Can you re-sell a lab grown diamond? Is it Valuable?
As Lab Grown Diamonds have grown in popularity, one of the main questions we receive is whether or not they can be resold at a later date. Please let us be clear, buying an engagement ring or diamond, regardless of its origin, with the intent to sell it in the future is not a good investment; but it’s not a worthless purchase. Diamonds are historically not a good place to “park” your money. Most Earth-Mined Diamonds have resale value, and most Lab Created Diamonds will have a similar resale value, as well. Regardless of origin, either man-made or mined, all diamonds are priced using an internationally accepted pricing system. This system is known as the Rapaport Pricing Method and it determines wholesale and retail pricing. Prices are generated first based on the “Four C's” of diamonds: carat, cut, clarity, and color. Then, whether they are Lab Grown or mined is taken into consideration.
You should treat your lab diamond for what it is: a beautiful piece of wearable art and representation of your love that will last forever.Ultimately, you are buying an heirloom that you can pass on for generations. As young people become even more aware and interested in products that match their values, you can feel confident they will appreciate that the Lab Grown Diamond you are sharing with them had a positive impact on the world and they can feel proud wearing it.
FAQ’s
DO ALL LAB GROWN DIAMOND LOOK ALIKE?
DO ALL LAB GROWN DIAMOND LOOK ALIKE?
No, not all lab-grown diamonds look alike. Lab-grown diamonds exhibit the same variations in color, clarity, and cut as their mined counterparts. We put the right conditions together in a lab, but nature takes it from there and grows us a diamond. Advanced technology allows us to create a wide range of lab-grown diamonds with diverse appearances, catering to individual preferences and styles. From classic white diamonds to fancy colors, each lab-grown gem possesses a distinct allure.
WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF LAB DIAMONDS?
WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF LAB DIAMONDS?
Unlike earth-mined diamonds, lab grown diamonds are created without negatively harming native communities, societies, or the planet. According to the 2014 Frost & Sullivan report, "lab grown diamonds are seven times less impactful to the environment than mined diamonds, use significantly less resources, and emit a fraction of the air pollution."
ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS GRADED AND CERTIFIED?
ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS GRADED AND CERTIFIED?
All lab created diamonds over 0.5ct are graded the same way earth-mined diamonds are, and come with a grading certificate from either the International Gemological Institute (IGI) or GIA.
ARE LAB DIAMONDS THE SAME AS CUBIC ZIRCONIA?
ARE LAB DIAMONDS THE SAME AS CUBIC ZIRCONIA?
Lab created diamonds are 100% pure, crystallized carbon, which makes them optically, chemically, and physically identical in every way to an earth-mined diamond.
Cubic zirconia (CZ) is made of synthetic zirconium dioxide in its crystalline form and is commonly used as a low-cost alternative to a mined diamond. It has absolutely no presence of carbon diamond bonds in its creation. It is simply a crystal cut in a way to mimic the look of a diamond. The lack of crystallized carbon is why CZ differs chemically, physically, and optically from earth-mined and Lab-Grown Diamonds.
WHAT IS THE RESALE VALUE OF A LAB GROWN DIAMOND?
WHAT IS THE RESALE VALUE OF A LAB GROWN DIAMOND?
Buying an engagement ring or diamond, regardless of origin, with the intent to sell it in the future, is not a good investment. Many traditional jewellers tell consumers that lab created diamonds have little to no resale value, but this could not be further from the truth.

The laboratory-made diamonds are indistinguishable from earth-mined diamonds, even under a microscope, according to the Gemological Institute of America.
While both earth-mined diamonds and lab-created diamonds have the same chemical composition, only trained gemologists using advanced gemological equipment can detect differences in their growth patterns and inclusions. Advanced technology, such as UV fluorescence imaging and specific laser inscription patterns, aids in distinguishing between the two types. However, to the naked eye, without specialized equipment, it is nearly impossible to know the difference.
ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS FAKE?
ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS FAKE?
There are many ways to tell the difference between a fake diamond and the real thing. Turns out, the definition of a real diamond is not linked to origin (earth vs. lab), but rather by its characteristics. Lab created diamonds have been created replicating the earth's natural process, and will pass a diamond tester because of their identical characteristics.
