Lab-Grown Diamond FAQs
What is a lab-grown diamond?
A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled laboratory using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. It has the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as a mined diamond.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
A lab-grown diamond, unlike a simulant, has the same chemical and physical properties as a mined diamond. They are aesthetically identical to naturally mined diamonds, offering the same fire and brilliance.
What is the difference between a mined diamond and a lab-grown diamond?
The only difference between a mined diamond and a lab-grown diamond is their origin. Lab-grown diamonds are an ethical and sustainable option, offering the same fire, clarity, and carat weights as mined diamonds.
Are lab-grown diamonds less expensive than mined diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent alternative to mined diamonds as they provide much more value. Without sacrificing quality for price, lab-grown diamonds will be more affordable than mined diamonds of the same quality and size.
Are lab-grown diamonds truly conflict-free?
Lab-grown diamonds are produced in controlled laboratory environments and do not need to be mined from the earth. Unlike mined diamonds, only lab created diamonds can be 100% conflict-free. It is near impossible to know the origins of a mined diamond and whether unsafe or unethical labour practices were involved in its extraction from the earth.
