Lab Grown Diamonds

What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds (also known as lab created diamonds) are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust. These lab created diamonds consist of actual carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. Since they are made of the same material as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same optical and chemical properties.

Our lab created diamonds are readily available in a variety of colorless ranges. Our lab created diamonds are also available in fancy colors that are considered very rare in nature, including popular hues of vivid yellow. Fancy colored lab created diamonds sell at comparatively reasonable prices compared to their natural colored diamond counterparts.

Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds

Our lab grown diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. Using a jewelry loupe, lab created diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds. Lab created diamonds may exhibit different trace elements than natural diamonds that do not affect the appearance of the diamond. Lab created diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds only with tests using specialized equipment. Lab created diamonds available for purchase should always come with a gem certification identifying them as laboratory grown.

Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds?

Mining Free

Lab grown diamonds are a responsible
choice given that no mining is required

Beauty & Quality

Lab grown diamonds have the same
physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds

Value

Lab grown diamonds offer excellent
value. They are more cost-effective than
natural diamonds of comparable size and
quality.

Do lab diamonds test as real diamonds?

Lab created diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, along with the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. They are real diamonds. Lab created diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds with the naked eye. Lab grown diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds if specialized equipment is used to test them.

Do lab created diamonds get cloudy?

Since they are physically and chemically the same as naturally mined diamonds, lab created diamonds do not have a lower durability and will not get cloudy over time.

How Are Lab Diamonds Graded and Certified?

you know that lab diamonds and natural diamonds are chemically identical. It might not surprise you then that diamonds are graded using the same standards used for grading natural diamonds. 

Each diamond is graded by professionals (called gemologists) based on the diamond’s “Four C’s,” The four grades are recorded to put together an overall final grade.
Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat

Can you insure lab created diamonds?

Yes, just like a mined diamond, lab created diamonds can be insured.
